I personally think Baylor is the best team in the country right now so it may be another 50+ point loss. Baylor will cover whatever the betting line is. That's for sure.
the only way this loss isn't as bad as 2013, is if Baylor decides to lay off a little bit, or some how we come out and get a few drives going early. Not that the drives early will give us any better shot at winning, but much like TCU we will keep Baylor off the field for a few more minutes and limit their scoring. This staff has proved they have no idea how to make in game adjustments, so once Baylor figures out what we are doing, the game is over.
Briles is not letting up this year. He's out to prove a point after getting snubbed by the playoff committee. I can see this being worse than 2013.
I think the weather could impact this game a bit. Baylor might only get to 59 if it is raining most of the game.
I agree but I also think its safe to say Baylor remembers getting left out last year and they are going to push for style points if our defense doesn't get a few stops or our offense can't sustain a few drives.
I agree with your first point, Baylor is definitely playing for style points this year to give the committee no excuse to leave them out. But I think as bad as we are we are still a much better football team than we were two seasons ago. I'm not arguing with the spread. But I don't see it being 71-7 bad.
I'll agree with the writer that we're probably better than we were in 2013 but I think Baylor is better than they were that year too. We're going to get pounded but anybody that's surprised by that has their head in the sand. I think we all knew going into it that this 3 game stretch ending with Baylor was going to be brutal.
The first line was sort of a joke/a funny competition between the two offensive juggernauts. Plays off the comment Mack Brown made back in 2010 when OU stomped a mud hole in our *** and how they should do the same.
there are very few fans across the country (including us hawk fans) that wouldnt love to see that.
This...... And as far as Baylor/TCU/OU caring about KU and ISU, the only part of their teams that are concerned about us are the reserves who see the KU/ISU games as a chance to get some serious playing time.

I think when given the opportunity Briles likes to stick it to ISU because Pollard did not hire him. Just my thought....
I had the Over/Under opponents points of this 3 game stretch at 160 as a bet with my buddy. Pretty sure I am going to win. He took the under.
