So, onward we head to Week III which Brinkhater has doth dubbed the second of three Judgement Days for this season and for the Cougar program.
As noted earlier in the week, Baylor figures to be a mid or lower-mid Big 12 team this year. Meaning: if you lose to them, then you’re looking at a long year. Win by a nail or three, and you’re looking at a .500 type campaign. Win big, and you have to consider the Cougs a real darkhorse in the Conference this year.
In terms of game breakdown, you’re not gonna get much better than Sedihawk’s anlaysis on AOL which you can find on the link below.
As for Brinkhater’s take, here it is in a nutshell:
1) NEVER, EVER give your opponent bulletin board material (bbm), especially when your opponent is playing a home game. Baylor’s comments this week have been solid BBM and really that’s the last thing they needed coming into this game.
2) As Sedihawk noted, Baylor’s redzone production is poor. On the opposite end, our D appears to be a bend, don’t break outfit. If we kept Auburn out of the endzone despite BRUTAL offensive woes AT AUBURN, then I doubt that we will play differently against Baylor in a veritable home game. As a result, I’d lean HARD toward the thought that Baylor will score a bunch…a bunch of fieldgoals, that is…
3) This game could prove to be a nightmare if Alex can’t get the short passing game going early, their DBs jam up the long ball, DW reinjures his thigh, and we have to kick field goals. But, in my mind, that’s a bunch of ifs.
All in all, I think that Baylor will do somethings that will bother us–and pose problems for us–early. That said, I think we separate ourselves BIG time in the second half–mostly because of our ability to run the football. Cougs win this one, and in a big way:
Cougs 49 Baylor 26 (four field goes and two touches–one very late)
In other crappy ten action:
Arizona 34 SFA 7
ASU 63 Colorado 3
CAL 59 PSU 14
Navy 28 Stanford 27
USC 34 Nebraska 13
FSU 34 Washington 24 (no, UW won’t win this game…)
Oregon 31 Okey 28
And the National Game:
Auburn 31 LSU 30
Last week: Brinkhater 8-2, Sedihawk 8-2, Red Rooster 7-3. Yep, we’re all tied up…
