Baylor vs. SMU Game Thread - 6pm ESPN

[Harry]

This is a different SMU team.  More speed, more wide open.   Better athletes.

Morris is positive and encouraging on sidelines as opposed to frowning Lurch Jones.

Coach Mack kinda of come across as a know it all as an announcer.  Course he does have skins so I guess he has the right.

 

 

 

 

 

[Ben Gooding]

No they didn't. It's where the ball is caught, not where the ball ends up. 

[UNTexas]

Our offense isn't built to put up points. It's slow and time consuming. Even worse, if McNulty can't produce then it's going to be a long long season.

[jtm0097]

We will be playing keep away next week. I hope the offense can score or we will be in trouble.

Might be a long night in Dallas next Saturday.

[Harry]

Morris's play calling is just outstanding tonight.  Tons of misdirection.  Taking away Baylor's speed advantage.  Davis looks really sharp...

If Baylor keeps missing tackles like this, they are not gonna figure long in any playoff pictures.

[Tyler Maryak]

If Baylor keeps missing tackles like this, they are not gonna figure long in any playoff pictures.

I was thinking the same thing. SMU has clearly improved significantly, but can we possibly find solace in the hope that Baylor is also much worse, at least defensively?

[Green P1]

Man it's weird what an undermanned team can do when given an effective gameplay.   Even if they don't score again they'll be coming in next week full of piss and vinegar. 

 

You guys think that if we had an AD capable of bringing Baylor to Apogee.... We'd ever see anything more than 3 downs and a cloud of dust?

[UNT15]

 

Gerald Ford stadium capacity 32,000, and its probably 60% full.

I still think we take more fans than Baylor does.

[GreenN'walinsVet]

This Baylor D looks very soft.  We may not fair much better but i will guarantee you we will at least hit SMU in the mouth, over and over again.  Will that make a difference?  Guess we will see

[Ben Gooding]

It's not 60% full anymore. It's just about full capacity. 

[outoftown]

I don't know how much (or if) Baylor is worse on D than they were last season, but it is very clear that succesfully defending SMUs improved new offense is almost entierly dependent on succeeding at one on one tackling, and Baylor is failing badly in that department so far.

Stadium looks full to me...

[Rudy]

We can hope that Baylor is just overrated.

[James329]

I think the crowd has filled in some. 6pm start not very helpful in Dallas. 

I don't want to knee-jerk, but I hope the whole team is watching this right now and ready to get to work this week. 

[pastorgrant]

Wow, this is not what I expected. Next Saturday will be tough, even if Baylor has fallen a lot.

[NorthTexan95]

SMU is looking good so far.  Week one is when the underdog can jump all over a superior team who isn't prepared for them.

In other news, I've only been watching for about 20 minutes but Mack Brown is wearing me out.  

[UNTLifer]

They look like a different team because they have a coach that cares, but those of you on here already conceding defeat need to go elsewhere.   I think we will also be much improved and I expect our defense to tackle better than Baylor's.  Our win will just look that much better if they keep this close or win.

Mack Brown is a whipping.

[BillySee58]

Maybe Baylor's D is rusty since it's their first game. At least we won't have to deal with that when we play SM.... oh.

[UNTexas]

We are going to get our asses kicked next week if McNulty plays anything like last year.

Not conceding defeat at all, but I thought next Saturday would be an easy one and it looks like we need to seriously bring it.

[Harry]

OUCH.  SMU lost 7 points there... Still a great half for the ponies.

I don't think McNulty was a big issue in some of the games last year. A lot of it was the receivers and other parts of the team. (Look at the Rice game) He is going to need to have a good game next Saturday. Our defense is going to have their hands full and McNulty really needs to show us why he's team captain on the 12th.

On a side note: You see all those preppy Dallas (my daddy buys me a boat and BMW) boys in the crowd! Lol
