Matt Rhule Quote of the Week...

“This Iowa State team, they never beat themselves. They find a way to win the game within the game, and then they are a well-coached team. I think Coach Heacock, their defensive coordinator is one of the best in the country. And the defensive stats bear that out. They have great players on defense. [Greg] Eisworth is their middle safety, kind of like our Chris Miller who plays that same position for us and he is a dominant player who can defend the pass, come up on the run. They have Joshua Bailey their nose tackle and [Ray] Lima is just a fantastic player. They have great players all across the board on defense. They tackle, they get off blocks and Coach Heacock keeps you off balance, they always have something new for you, something different for you. They will pressure you, they will max drop. And offensively, Brock Purdy is a special player.”

Baylor’s Key Players

Quarterback #12 Charlie Brewer — Almost every game from here on out is going to be about the quarterback play. Brewer had a great first half performance against Rice but was not great in the second half along with the rest of the offense.

Running back #25 Trestan Ebner — Explosive plays were the story of the first two games of the season for Ebner but last week he faltered. He had seven carries for 10 yards plus one catch for five yards, it was rough.

Cornerback #13 Raleigh Texada — The team leader in pass breakups is Raleigh Texada. I like what I have seen from the junior cornerback but he has not been challenged to this level yet.

Safety #3 Chris Miller — Miller has been all over the field for the Bears this year and he will need to play like that in this game as well. The secondary has not been tested like they will be in this one and Miller will play a big role if the Bears are successful.

Iowa State Key Players

Quarterback #12 Brock Purdy — The leader and key to the Cyclone offense is this sophomore quarterback. Purdy has been terrific this season as he is completing 73.5% of his passes, has 989 yards passing, and six touchdown.

Wide receivers #8 Deshaunte Jones and #1 Tarique Milton — The Bears have not faced a talented duo like this so far this season and the  secondary will finally be tested. Senior receiver Deshaunte Jones came into the season with all of the hype as their number one guy.

Defensive end #3 Jaquan Bailey ​​​​​​ —  Well this season has been quite different than last for the 2nd team All-Big 12 performer from a year ago. He had eight sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss last year but so far this season he has zero in both categories.

Safety #12 Greg Eisworth — The Preseason 1st-Team All-Big 12 player has gotten off to a hot start this season as he is averaging 9.7 tackles per game and has two pass breakups.

Defense bailed us out. Way to be there at the absolute crunch time.

That was a stressful 4th quarter. Love that the kicker got it done. Semi reminding me of Callahan making the kick in the TCU game.

Matt Rhule's teams have onions. They proved that last year, and are continuing to now. It's not always pretty, but his teams consistently make plays in clutch time.

We played well for 3 quarters. that 4th qtr, though! The defense thought they had it wrapped up. A lot of positives in this game, I think. ISU has a pretty high powered offense and we destroyed that through 3 qtrs.

Our defense definitely struggled in the fourth, but you've got to give some credit to Purdy and his big receivers/tight ends. Those dudes made a ton of plays to put themselves in position to win. Fortunately, we made the last few.

A great win against a solid big 12 team. We definitely have work to do and areas that need to improve quickly but I'll take it a W any way we can get it.

Glad Purdy didn't get anything going for the first 3 quarters.

Penalties hurt but there were more issues than just that. Some bad play calls, missed tackles, missed blocks, dropped passes, etc.

Ugly win, but a win. Easily could have lost, and that is concerning. Just a few fits and spurts of good offense and play calling in the past 2 games, and it won't be getting much easier.

Those are things that can change, so I will hope... For now, I will relax, knowing we escaped a close one there, and better to just enjoy this win. Play like this and KState will kill us dead. But that's for next time.

We just beat what most thought was the third best team in the B12.

This game had some cringeworthy moments. But that last offensive drive and the FF by Lockhart have me singing.

Gutsy win and we are a better team with better talent IMO. You have to be able to kick a FG inside of 40 if you want to win in the B12. Great win for the Bears!

At the time I was ticked they put 35 seconds back on the clock on the fumble ruled incomplete, + 10 seconds when an IowaSt receiver went down 2 yards in bounds and they stopped the clock,+ 9 when they advanced the rugby punt, but those 54 seconds may come in handy.


Little did I know that we would be the beneficiaries of the extra time.

Our D was legit for the first 3 quarters. They were fun to watch.

So.... the fact of my watching Baylor for sixty years and watching infinite "stubbing our own toe" games over that period thinking this looked like one brewing after a three TD lead... and you make it a Caber issue.? I have no response.

You probably weren't around for the '56 game with aggy in Waco were it was basically a duplicate with a different result. THAT'S one of many over 60+ years.

I am truly glad for this HC's win.

Your doubt doesn't make you a CABer, but it's time to change that mentality. Matt Rhule's teams have been really good in close games the past two years, and he's never lost when entering the fourth quarter with a lead. Keep the faith until this team gives you reasons not to. It's natural to be nervous in those situations, but too many here turn into fatalistic turds.

Proud of the D. They continue to keep us in the game and even win it--which is something we rarely saw in the Briles era.

If you look at the stats of both teams, they are pretty much identical except for one area---turnovers. And those turnovers all came from the D.

Way to be clutch, men!
