Baylor: Community Projections

58663-x_medium

So does this mean Baylor Week has already come and gone? It's with a heavy heart we turn to Community Projections to round out the week. Before we begin, here's a bittersweet look back some of the great times during Baylor Week:

 

 

And now, this week's questions:

 

1. What will be the final score of the Mizzou/Baylor game in Waco?

2. What record will Baylor finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?

3. What will be the differential in total yardage between Mizzou and Baylor?

4. Which Baylor quarterback starts against Mizzou?

5. Convince ghtd36 why Mizzou fans shouldn't be worried about this game. If your name is ghtd36, reiterate your stance.

3. 175 yards

4. Kirby Freeman

5. 1) They’re Baylor, 2) They’re Baylor, 3) They’re Baylor, 4) We’re Mizzou (and for once, that’s a good thing), 5) We’re Mizzou (and for once, that’s a good thing), 5) Chase Daniel vs Kirby Freeman (or whoever), 6) William Moore vs Kirby Freeman (or whoever), 7) Jeremy Maclin vs uhh…whoever their best CB is, and 8) We’ll have almost as many fans in the stands.

Apathy has set in

1. What will be the final score of the Mizzou/Baylor game in Waco?
I dont know what I said either the other day and just do not care to look it up again…48-13

2. What record will Baylor finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?
3-9…even the NCAA has yet to create enough bowls for Baylor to make it in with that kind of season

3. What will be the differential in total yardage between Mizzou and Baylor?
um…206 yards

4. Which Baylor quarterback starts against Mizzou?
Bobby Bouchet

5. Convince ghtd36 why Mizzou fans shouldn’t be worried about this game. If your name is ghtd36, reiterate your stance.
Because I am not so sure ght has been around long enough to truly know the pain from previous Mizzou upsets…we will just win…it’s just that simple.

What you've all been waiting for.

1. What will be the final score of the Mizzou/Baylor game in Waco?
Mizzou 41, Baylor 21.

2. What record will Baylor finish with in 2008 and what bowl (if necessary) will they be invited to?
Wins against Northwestern State, Washington State (yup), and Iowa State give Art Briles a shining 3-9 record in his inaugural year.

3. What will be the differential in total yardage between Mizzou and Baylor?
Mizzou gets 560 yards, Baylor gets 300, so, 260.

4. Which Baylor quarterback starts against Mizzou?
It’ll be Freeman, for the sake of change from last year.

5. Convince ghtd36 why Mizzou fans shouldn’t be worried about this game. If your name is ghtd36, reiterate your stance.
Once again, I’m not saying Baylor’s going to beat Mizzou. Obviously, I just said that Mizzou would win by 20.
But the bottom line is that this has a lot of factors that go into a trap game:
1) An excellent coach, with an emphasis on motivation.
2) A place where such traps have occurred in the past.
3) A game that means a lot (homecoming, in this instance).
4) A possible “take the week off” mentality” (Texas two weeks before, Colorado for homecoming the week before).
5) A playmaker on defense (Jordan Lake).
6) Sound special teams vs. historically (and realistically) shaky special teams.
Again, the point is that there are ingredients in place to warrant a little more attention than you would pay to SEMO. Not saying it will amount to anything, but this does have trap potential.
And as for The Veal, I’ve been around long enough to know what an upset is, what the characteristics of a trap game are, and how this team tends to act when it has a target on its back.

veal...lol...

THEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS.

Baylor had horrendous special teams last year, by the way. Good kick returner, bad punt returner, bad punter, bad kicker.

Briles' teams traditionally have sound special teams.

So, it all comes down to how much stock you put in coaching re: special teams success. I put a lot of stock in that.
