DEPTH CHART | SCHEDULE | BIG 12 STANDINGS | COACHING STAFF


Matt Rhule Quote of the Week...

“Maturity, I mean, they like those games, I mean, I think in all these close games we’re pretty even with those teams. I like to learn from older coaches and I listened to Coach Patterson, he said something like, ‘we are just good enough to beat everybody and we are just good enough to lose to everybody.’ And if you’ve listened to what I say in the press conference at the beginning of the year I say I think we have a chance to beat everyone on our schedule and I think every team has a chance to beat us. I think we are a team that isn’t going to overwhelm you early. We are not there yet. I would like to get there, but we are not where we can just roll the balls out there and be up 28-0. We are going to have to show grit and fight and try to wear you down. We are going to keep it close, keep it close and then in the second half when the other team maybe gets tired, we are a pretty conditioned, pretty tough team and our offensive line now, most of our sacks were early, the first three drives were atrocious and then once we kind of kept staying with it, we can protect a little bit more, hold on a little bit more and then our guys get to the fourth quarter and that was our first fourth quarter shutout, which is a big thing we talk about but we haven’t really done it this year.


Baylor’s Key Players

Quarterback #12 Charlie Brewer — Of course the QB1 for the Bears is going to be one of the key players in a road matchup in the biggest rivalry matchup of the season for both teams.

Wide Receiver #5 Denzel Mims — His connection with Brewer is going to be key in this one. For large junks of the game he will be covered by and All Big 12 caliber corner in Jeff Gladney so the chances could be limited.

Defensive linemen #98 Chidi Ogbonnaya and #90 TJ Franklin — Obviously if Bravvion Roy doesn’t play then these two are even more important but I think they will play a critical role regardless. Both have played a ton and gained valuable experience but they will need to continue growing down the stretch with Roy and Gabe Hall both banged up. 

Safety #15 Christian Morgan — It’s time! Morgan has had a rough year so far filled with injuries and limited playing time. He is finally starting to get back on track and the loss of Chris Miller for this game will expand his role. He won’t get the start but I think you will see him rotating in and out more consistently.


Texas Christian University Key Players

Running backs #6 Darius Anderson and #33 Sewo Olonilua — As I mentioned above, the TCU rush offense is 3rd in the Big 12 averaging 220 yards per game. If they get that number they will be in good shape to win this game.

Wide receiver #1 Jalen Reagor — It doesn’t matter who plays quarterback because whoever it is will be searching for this guy. He has 32 receptions for 454 yards and four touchdowns. He also makes an impact in the punt return game where he is averaging 18.4 yards per return.

Defensive tackles #90 Ross Blacklock and #94 Corey Bethley — The two big fellas in the middle anchor a defense that is 3rd in the conference in rush yards allowed per game. They would be number one if they didn’t get gashed for 300 yards against Oklahoma State last weekend.

Nothing to say. There hasn't been a team like this. Great team under 2 minutes to go even when the rest of the game is terrible (ST/offense). I know other teams are saying they can't keep getting away with it.. but somehow find a way.

Guess this season was meant to be special, but are they trying to kill off their fans? These games are exhausting and heart attack inducing. Thank goodness after all that we won.

Just like, what even is this?????

But I'll take it. Drop us to 25 in the rankings, I don't care. What a miracle.


I don't know why so many think we are going to drop. That was a tough gutsy road win against a respectable team with one of the best coaches in the business....we were only favored by 2.5 coming in

I don't really care about the polls....I just want that B12 title game....but I think the CFP will view this win favorably

With the offense a dumpster fire in regulation time, the team didn't quit, which was impressive - must give credit to players & coaches, no?

It's the most pressure tested team in cfb.. by far. It's unlike anything we've seen in a long time. We're playing nfl style strategy and the players are responding in pressure situations like pros. Great team at 2 minutes or less.

Baylor will be credited with an ugly win while LSU will be credited with a quality SEC loss.

The only comforting thing to me in all these heart stopping games is that these guys seem to handle the pressure well and even step it up.

I still can't believe they overturned that last TCU TD in the 3rd OT....I think they got it right....but i didn't think they were gonna overturn it

Welp....let's get ready for Herbie to come to BU....hope he doesn't get his feelings hurt again

What are you talking about? I'm talking about the 3rd OT when Duggan tight roped down the sidelines for the apparent TD

Yup.. I don't know if he stepped out or not but I wouldn't say there was a clear view either way and since it was called TD.. I was expecting it to be TD stands.

Looks like they gave us an extra timeout too. We called ours on offense and then Baylor was granted a timeout on defense before the final 3rd down. You only suppose to get one for each OT period.

I head the announcer say "Rhule wants to talk about it" but did we actually call timeout? TCU very well could have.

Initially I thought it was TCU cause I was pissed they were getting an extra timeout. TCU called a timeout before their 4th down play and I was like I thought they just used their time out on 3rd down!

I went back and the ref said Baylor timeout.

Just checking rules: If I'm not mistaken, TCU's catch wouldn't have been a catch in the NFL
I had no idea that would count as a catch. Is it because his arm was down in bounds? I thought you had to have a foot down....

Yeah they gave TCU two timeouts in overtime. Baylor had already used their one, and both the last two were by TCU.

Worked out, so whatever.

That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

It was an emotional roller coaster.

-seemed destined to lose in regulation
-somehow managed to get in makeable field goal range....feeling better
-had 1 million false starts....out of seemingly makeable FG range...feeling bad
-Mayer hits the improbable 51 yarder....feeling better
-we seemed to get 4th down stop and win the game in OT....feeling great
-instant replay gives them the TD....oh damn
-Duggan runs in a TD in 3OT....damn it
-instant replay reverses it....still breathing
-TCU gets 10 goal line plays....stress builds
-game ends with a BU INT....I kept waiting for like 5 minutes for a flag
-crazy ass craziness
