So the Baylor Bears....road game...at night..against a team that needs to win 2 of it's next 3 to be bowl eligible...we haven't won in Waco since 2002.
#2 Passing O in the country vs. KSU's #78 ranked passing defense. This looks like the focus, however their rush offense is pretty good (#34 nationally - to give you an idea, Alabama's is ranked 30th). They ran for 252yds against OU and they ran Florence more than they had all year with great success - I think they will continue to do so. Couple that with Zims injury and we have an extremely vulnerable area. They will try to stretch us across the field, probably more than OSU did and put some pressure on Fergie. Although our scoring defense is good (#14 ), they are the #2 scoring offense in the country. If Hayes tries to take Williams away through some bracketting, it will open up some areas not only in the pass but the run.
I won't try to pull out Baylor's defensive stats, but with sexton out, TBL in question, it really puts some pressure on some guys in our WR corp to make plays (I'm going to assume that Baylor will do what OSU and TCU have done and commit quite a few to the LOS to force the pass). If you haven't noticed, our WR's have done a tremendous job of catching the ball. If CK has put it on them, they catch it. Now, insert a few guys (I'm looking at you Miller) who haven't had the reps...unsure hands...lead to missed conversions on third down...tipped balls...lead to interceptions.
Finally, we looked tired, a step slow in the TCU game. The OL has gotten whipped up front in both the OSU and TCU games. I think even Bill hinted last week about us going at it for 3 straight months basically. I'm concerned because we look like we're running out of gas and everyone is just throwing every possible punch they can think of at us. At some point, the cracks become breaks. Have to get through this game, somehow, someway and rest up.
Thoughts, concerns? I haven't had a solid poop since the OU game.

jfc, i was getting worried.

To beat K-State, you can't have a bad defense.
Baylor's defense is bad.
-
Seems like they turn the ball over a fair amount, even with 1y out I think the defense is probably good for a couple against the Bears. Not really concerned about the offense, biggest source of nervousness for me is more players getting hurt.
-
To beat K-State, you can't have a bad defense.
Baylor's defense is bad.
yeah, but their offense is better than any other offense we've faced this season. Total offense is better than Oregon. OREGON. Plus, the team is just tired. Lot of energy has been expended over the past month....@ISU, @ WVU, TT, OSU, @ TCU. Emawtionally, they look spent. Hell, I'm spent and I'm just watching.
-
500+ yards per game in Bennettville.
BU has allowed Big 12 opponents to score 14 points more than their per game scoring ave in their 6 games. K-State has scored 15 points per game more than their Big 12 opponents give up on a per game basis.
We got this.

TCU and OK State have defenses with a pulse, especially TCU. Baylor doesn't. We won't punt until the 4th quarter on Saturday, if at all.
We're fine.

Nick Florence had 15 carries for 83 yards. Averaged 5.5 ypc. They have used him like this only a couple times in conference (vs UT - 69 yards and 6.3ypc). Baylor probably just caught Mack and Stoops off guard. No way does he do that again vs the Khatzs

How much of their offense is skewed by the west Virginia game? They had at least two games of offense against wvu

sure, we should score, but it isn't like they won't either. their offense, especially if they are willing to run Florence, is extremely good. We will be lucky to keep them under 500yds. Our offense really hasn't been good at all since CK got spaghetti'd.
-
there's no way we let Florence run on us

Pretty small sample size, and the offense was awesome for a quieter in a game that was essentially a blowout
-
BU's defense can legitimately be compared to KU's last year, and Cosh's from a couple years ago.
It's hard to give up 500+ yards per game.
-
I am 0% worried about this week.
I'm >0% worried about texas.
-
in conference, ISU's defense....yes the same ISU defense that held us to 364yds of offense .....is giving up 500+ yds/game in conf.

Jake Knott is a hell of a loss

Baylor couldn't beat us when they had the heisman trophy winner. Now that we have the heisman trophy winner they are toast.

You ever heard of Jake Knott?
Just sayin'.
-

we've never beaten them with a heisman trophy winner either.
-
zacker you're looking for a reason to worry.
I've never had more confidence in any other team/set of players not necessarily to win, but to perform. everyone has bought in, everyone has the same goal.
can't bring up our record in waco without bringing up our record in norman. or our record against ok lite. history can't beat us this year.
-
jake knott has been out for one game (1 1/2 game?)....but if you're saying that losing an key, player...one that was critical to your defense's success will have a dramatic effect on your defenses' production, then I completely agree. Completely.
sincerely,
Zims
-
crap, we beat them last year in epic style, when they had a Heisman winner! Now we have the Heisman winner and they suck ass. They will remember it and be scared shitless. We're going to slaughter them.

'zacker is a great bbs'r.

Can you guys fathom someone on this team pulling a Roberson or a Cooper?

stop it
..and no

I think we're 10-0 when zacker has one of these posts so we should be fine

are any of the football players friends with Omari? this will impact my answer.

His threads are becoming a cherished tradition!

I don't know why people respond to catzacker or kim carnes posts.

Zacker is great and regardless of his intentions, his threads lead to legitimate and fun discussions. Kim is just a steamy pile.
-
We're the #1 team in the nation Baylor has 1 confy win. :yawn:
-
The fact that we have everything to lose and they have nothing to lose cannot be understated. Pressure can do awful things to the human body. OSU was yawning before the ISU game last season but they cracked under the pressure. I think we'll win, but I'm also worried.
-
We're the #1 team in the nation Baylor has 1 confy win. :yawn:
ISU was 5-4 (2-4) when they beat OSU.
-
Baylor could easily have 4 conference wins. Lost some nail biters.
-
'zacker is a great bbs'r.
One of the best. I enjoy his "how full is the glass" threads. Very fun.

Paul Rhoads will not be walking that sideline on Saturday.
And my friend, Art is no Paul.
-

Baylor has also played 4 of 6 conference games on the road.
And these may be my favorite recurring thread on goEMAW.
-
this will be our 5th on the road. My God that's brutal
-
I enjoy these threads. Nothing like some unwarranted worrying and our team sucks talking points to really get the blood boiling. It sort of reinvigorates me and gets me ready for the game. Keep on Zackin'! :ksu:

"Just sayin'" = "Got nothin'"

I think a lot of people on the board watch KSU football fwiw
-
Zacker where do you get your stats?
-
Why? Why the eff do we do this to ourselves
-
Baylor offense = OSU offense = Texas Tech offense = Oklahoma offense = West Virginia offense.
We've played this game before. We all know how it ends.

if you predict doom for every game, the chances are very good you'll be right at some point in time. and when you are you can proclaim yourself a genius and rub everyone's face in it. if you're wrong and your team wins every game no one really cares enough to call you on it. that's the glory of it.

I don't care, I am worried about this game. I worry about every game, that's what I do.
I am just pointing out a truth about the eventuality of being right when predicting a loss every game. It's a great way to seem like the rebel who isn't blinded by homerism and smarter than the rest.

Did you know for some dumb reason they went up there on buses, it was a short week, AND a plane full of their colleagues just died in a plane crash. Just fun lil tidbit.

While I might be sad if we don't win it all, almost nothing will make this season unenjoyable. it's been amazing and wonderful. It's already arguably the most successful season in cats fball history!

If we beat an undefeated Oregon by a few points, and ND wipes the floor with whoever they play, you know 'zacker's going to come on here and say that ND might jump us in the BCS (is that even possible?).
-
You know Zacker is a lot like my old dad. He loved to argue with anything I said for the joy of agruement. Even if I started to agree with him, he would change the point so it would seem like I wasn't credible with my logic. Just keep baiting them Zacker, for the fun of it. :bait:

T's & P's (seriously tho)
-
only WVU's defense has been ANYTHING compared to what Baylor will roll out on Saturday.
I think it mght take a bit longer to wear it down but Finney, Rooks, Lucas, Whitehair will push their Dline enough to let our running game have more success than we've had vs....
TTech...tied for 2nd in Big XII before we trucked their ass
OState...2nd in Big XII before we trucked their ass in 3 quarters of play
TCU...yawned our way to a road win vs. the 3rd best defense in the league. OU and KSU being ahead.
and remember,
WE'RE EVERYBODY'S FRANKING SUPER BOWL..
Baylor will have to find a way to get off the field on 3rd down..and they haven't been able to against ANYONE, even their OOC crapheap.
and btw...we lead the Big XII in 3rd down conversion percentage...even with the Osstate and TCU games being a little slower in effeciency.
We GOT THIS. Baylor is another high octane 5-wide chuck n' duck offense that doesn't care about ball control and tackling. Bad mix when you're facing KSU. I'm just hoping for no injuries so the team can lick their wounds over thanksgiving break.
-
So the Baylor Bears....road game...at night..against a team that needs to win 2 of it's next 3 to be bowl eligible...we haven't won in Waco since 2002.
#2 Passing O in the country vs. KSU's #78 ranked passing defense. This looks like the focus, however their rush offense is pretty good (#34 nationally - to give you an idea, Alabama's is ranked 30th). They ran for 252yds against OU and they ran Florence more than they had all year with great success - I think they will continue to do so. Couple that with Zims injury and we have an extremely vulnerable area. They will try to stretch us across the field, probably more than OSU did and put some pressure on Fergie. Although our scoring defense is good (#14 ), they are the #2 scoring offense in the country. If Hayes tries to take Williams away through some bracketting, it will open up some areas not only in the pass but the run.
I won't try to pull out Baylor's defensive stats, but with sexton out, TBL in question, it really puts some pressure on some guys in our WR corp to make plays (I'm going to assume that Baylor will do what OSU and TCU have done and commit quite a few to the LOS to force the pass). If you haven't noticed, our WR's have done a tremendous job of catching the ball. If CK has put it on them, they catch it. Now, insert a few guys (I'm looking at you Miller) who haven't had the reps...unsure hands...lead to missed conversions on third down...tipped balls...lead to interceptions.
Finally, we looked tired, a step slow in the TCU game. The OL has gotten whipped up front in both the OSU and TCU games. I think even Bill hinted last week about us going at it for 3 straight months basically. I'm concerned because we look like we're running out of gas and everyone is just throwing every possible punch they can think of at us. At some point, the cracks become breaks. Have to get through this game, somehow, someway and rest up.
Thoughts, concerns? I haven't had a solid poop since the OU game.

i remember being excited after Baylor beat ULM earlier this season.
:dunno:
-
only WVU's defense has been ANYTHING compared to what Baylor will roll out on Saturday.
I think it mght take a bit longer to wear it down but Finney, Rooks, Lucas, Whitehair will push their Dline enough to let our running game have more success than we've had vs....
TTech...tied for 2nd in Big XII before we trucked their ass
OState...2nd in Big XII before we trucked their ass in 3 quarters of play
TCU...yawned our way to a road win vs. the 3rd best defense in the league. OU and KSU being ahead.

In some weird way, this makes me feel more confident that we will not have any real problems handling Oregon in the NCG.
DNR... this could jink everything. :ohno:

Baylor red zone defense in B12 play: Opp. have scored on 24 of 27 trips. ALL 24 have been TDs. #kstate
:billdance:
2 of the 3 that didn't result in scores were by squaks.
-
Didn't read much other than the OP, because these threads are basically the same every week:
1. 'Zacker melts down (or at least acts like he is) about us probably losing
2. Everyone else freaks out and says we won't lose
3. Rinse, repeat
4. ???
5. goEMAW profit
Don't ever change 'zacker. You keep doing you, and keep making this place great. Go 'Cats, beat the Bears. 8mp concern level: 2%.
-
Without 'Zacker, this board would be a lot of good smelling people sitting around, saying funny stuff, and agreeing with one another.
Not to say 'Zacker isn't good smelling.
i can assure you zacker smells great. if yla is the board's taylor lautner then you can bet that zacker is the george clooney. just some food for thought while we all read his musings.
also, baylor scares me a lot. road games always do. a bad bounce here, an unlucky call there....

God damn were screwed. Thanks zacker

I think you should compare every poster to a celebrity. Would be a fun thing to do since there's nothing really going on in Cats sports. Basically combo-fanning season around here.

Baylor has to score every possession. Get 1 stop and 1 turnover and we win.

Positive thinking stats of the day...
Good indications of defensive line (or defensive front 7 play) come from looking at tackles for loss and sacks.
OSU and TCU are near the top of the league in TFL at 6.60 and 6.56 per game respectively. Both also average 2+ sacks per game.
Baylor is 2nd to last in both, 4.44 TFL per game and 1.22 sacks per game. They've also given up a league high 23 rushing touchdowns (more than TCU and OSU combined).
Finally, Baylor's defensive 3rd down conversion rate is a league worst 60% and their redzone defense gives up a league worst 76% for just touchdowns. There are simply a lot more things to like about K-State's match-up with Baylor than any perceived advantages they may have against our dinged up defense.

Kim Carnes is that you!?!

A couple more pertaining to Baylor's success running the ball against OU.
Keep in mind OU doesn't have some sort of dominant run defense this year; they give up over 4 yards per carry (7th in the league) and are last in the league in TFL at only 4.22 per game.
K-State is 5th in TFL at 6.00 per game, 2nd in rush defense YPC at 3.25, and 1st in sacks at 2.6 per game.

These are great. My confidence is already super high and you are making it scary high.
Wasn't KSU last in sacks in 2010 and near the bottom last year as well?
