Matt Rhule Quote of the Week...


“I’m always concerned about everything, which is why to me all I talk about is process. I thought we were a little unfocused to begin the game (against Texas), which sometimes happens. It’s the first time I’ve ever had a corner be so offsides that they call the play back. Obviously, we turned the ball over the second play of the game. But I thought our guys did a nice job of regrouping. I think there are always concerns about where are we at mentally. I thought we were in a really good place again. We practiced last night, the guys were focused. I think people understand we win not because of who we are but because of what we do. We’ve won 10 games because we’ve tried to go 1-0 each week. I think they understand this will be a tremendous challenge any time you play on the road, and play a team that really should have beaten Iowa State last week or had a chance to beat Iowa State last week. A team that went to Boston College and beat up on Boston College, team that beat Texas Tech. So, we understand what we’re getting ready for. I think we just have to trust the players, you have to trust the locker room. And they did that last week, and I had no doubt they were going to do that last week. I had no doubt we were going to be ready. I was in the training room this morning where guys were getting treatment, and they looked very focused this week, understanding that this will be a challenge.”


Baylor Key Players

Running back #7 John Lovett — Baylor’s leading rusher should have an opportunity at a big game against the Big 12’s worst run defense. Kansas is giving up a whopping 4.8 yards per carry and 222 yards per game on the ground. Lovett has been the guy getting most of the rushing work of the running backs in recent weeks so he should get a chance at big runs especially if Charlie Brewer is not 100%.

Linebacker #26 Terrel Bernard — The Big 12’s third leading tackler has 91 tackles, eight tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks on the season. He has built up all these stats despite only being the leading tackler on the team for half of the season. Imagine if he was the guy the whole season, his numbers would be insane.

Safety #1 Grayland Arnold — Three straight games now Arnold has an interception and he has four picks during those three games. He has been ridiculous and is playing the best football of his career. Arnold is a big reason why Baylor is leading the conference in turnover margin at +7. On the year he has 34 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, a sack, and two pass breakups.


Kansas Key Players

Quarterback #9 Carter Stanley — The senior leader has been off and on this season, in the games where he has played well (Indiana State, Boston College, West Virginia, Texas, Texas Tech, and Iowa State) the Jayhawks have been in the games or won those games. In the games he hasn’t they have been blown out in many cases. He needs to get a stat line close to 300 total yards and three touchdowns on over 55% completions if they want a chance against Baylor.

Running back #1 Pooka Williams — The Big 12’s third leading rusher is sitting at 945 rushing yards so far on the season. He is averaging 94.5 yards per game. To go along with his ability to run the ball he can also make an impact in the receiving game as he has 24 receptions for 187 yards and two touchdowns. 

Linebacker #5 Azur Kamara — Kansas is the worst team in the Big 12 at getting to the quarterback as they only have 16 sacks on the season. The Jayhawks don’t an elite pass rusher but if you were to point to one guy on the team who may be able to make so plays in the backfield, that guy would be Kamara. He has a team-high four sacks on the season to go along with 48 tackles.

Ok so Wisconsin winning is great. Auburn just needs to pull this thing off. If those two go, all we need is an Oregon win over Utah and we're golden LOL. Well obviously LSU needs to beat georgia in SEC title game, but that's not too much to ask for all of those things right??

Should not be one dimensional. That makes things easier for the defense.

I mean, when you're playing a defense that can't stop you, why not?

The KU players look scared to hit. Everyone is hoping someone else will make the tackle.

Good point but the coaches should have next week in the back of their minds. And in this game, we have had too many negative plays and too many punts against KU.
