Matt Rhule Quote of the Week...

“Well, you know, I’m kind of a private person, I wouldn’t really want to put stuff out you know but I think the impact of it being released has two impacts and the biggest one to me is for our current players you know you can say what you want our current players are kind of walking around like you know in the back of their minds “Is this coaching staff going to be here?” Well, now they know we’re going to be here so let’s get to work, let’s get that out of the way and let’s make sure everybody’s going to class and everybody’s playing football and so I think that was really important for our players and then for recruiting I mean you know this is a great place and it’s not even necessarily that I’m going to be here and the staff’s going to be here it’s also that this is a destination place you know living in central Texas, living in Waco, being at Baylor University, the access to education, the access to world class facilities, elite sports all across the board from tennis to women’s basketball is a national championship caliber program, Scott Drew, everything here is the best of the best and so I hope it tells recruits that yeah, you know what, I’ll probably have other options, I’ve had other options, our coaching staff have had other options, we’re not forced to be here, we love to be here cause this is a great place and I want recruits to know that.”


Baylor’s Key Players

Quarterback #12 Charlie Brewer — The junior quarterback had a solid performance this weekend against Iowa State but it could have still been better. He ended up with 307 yards and 3 touchdowns on 26-of-45 completions. 

The entire offensive line — Baylor has got to run the football better and continue to keep the sacks number low. Baylor is still ranked in the top 30 in rushing yards per game and is still averaging a whopping 5.96 yards per carry but the past two games have been rough.

Linebacker #4 Clay Johnston — I think this is a big week for the linebackers for a variety of reasons. Stoping the run, getting off blocks, making open field tackles, and taking up blockers for safeties to get home on plays. 

 


Kansas State Key Players

Quarterback #10 Skylar Thompson — Last year against the Bears, Thompson made a solid impact on the game. He finished 15-of-26 for 149 yards and a touchdown, he also ran for 50 yards and another score. The problem was that he threw two interceptions which helped the Bears greatly.

Running back #34 James Gilbert — The 5’9, 198-pound workhorse running back for the Wildcats is the guys that this team leans on in the rushing attack. He has nearly twice as many carries as the next running back and is averaging a very solid 5.8 yards per carry while having 55 carries.

Defensive end #56 Wyatt Hubbert ​​​​​​ —  The 6’3, 258-pound defensive end is the only Wildcat with more than one sack on the year and he even sat out the game against Mississippi State. Hubert is the type of player that can live in the backfield and make life miserable for quarterbacks and offensive lineman.

Defensive end #51 Reggie Walker — The preseason All-Big 12 defensive end has gotten off to a slow start this year but I expect that to change soon.

Cornerback #12 AJ Parker — Meet Denzel Mims’ matchup for the week. Parker is thought of very highly as one of the better cornerbacks in the conference.

With ISU not starting until 1 on ESPN2, What will they do with the Baylor game? Any thoughts?

Crap....didn't think about that. They'll put one of them on one of their ESPN networks I guess....hopefully not ESPN+

I just posted a new thread on this. Right now they're showing "ESPN Goal Line" on ESPN News, and sometimes if a game is going long they will move the kick for the next game there.

The problem is that the OU/KU 11am kick on ABC is in weather delay, too, with TU/WVU scheduled at 2:30, opposite us, so if we're in the mix with one of those games to go to ESPN News, we know who wins that coin toss.

The Baylor Bears have exactly 600 wins in its football history. Baylor is looking to win a Big XII road football game for the 1st time since 2017. Baylor is 7-9 all-time vs Kansas State. I hope the weather in Manhattan, Kansas will be decent, overall. Ready to cheer and support our Baylor Bears on ESPN2 this afternoon. SIC 'EM, BEARS!

Ditto! Everyone knows there aren't enough competent men willing to do play-by-play for P5 college football. Can't stand her voice!

I said it the first game after I saw his first punt. Surely we have someone better than that.

What the hell was that punt?
BellCountyBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Special teams still pretty bad. Inside the 10, you gotta let that ball go.
DanaDane

Good defensive first series. Lots of pressure upfront and good coverage in the secondary. Now, let's use some imagination on offense.

Super high leg. When he let it go, I thought he had booted it down the field. Turns out he must have over-did the arc

WTH? Cade Brewer isn't Charlie's brother.

Platt dropped a pass?

Platt has always had great speed but not the surest hands

Not sure which was worse, the play call on 3rd and 2 or Charlie's pass.

The call was questionable .

Not sure why we wouldn't run the ball there.

3rs and 2..against a team allowing 6yds a run...and we don't run?

Platt has been the most frustrating player on the offense for the last 6 years. He has been here 6 years. He has not developed any consistency catching the ball over 6 years.

Another good defensive series. Now, let's blow open some holes and move the ball.

Time to move the ball. Offense needs to do something.

Credit to Mowins. She's been reading our board. You can tell it's against her nature, but she is going out of her way to say Baylor instrad of Bellor every third time she says our name.

Offensive play calling is baaaddddd.
