I'm just not sure if Bedford's D, especially the secondary can stop Baylor. The one time OU went deep the coverage was poor and the db's looked baffled. Luckily for Texas, you were able to harass Mayfield all game and disrupt the pass. Baylor's OL is way better than OU's so where does that leave your D?
First of all were not playing Baylor for another two months. And while you think your Mr fb about all things UT, Vance Bedford is a good dc. Last year we were able to slow down their passing game but we left it up to our front four to stop their running game and we couldn't stop Shock Linwood. However they ran the ball 60 time and gained 270 yards which is 4.5 ypc and we had a goal line stand to go with it. And since it's Baylor holding them to 4.5 ypc is decent. We held them to under 400 yards and 28 points seven of them on a blocked fg.
However OK plays them next month. Last year Baylor dropped 48 points on the sooners and almost 600 yards. And in Norman where Baylor had never won. Since the TX/WV game wasn't on till later I watched it and in the last two and a half quarters Baylor's offense pretty much had it any way they wanted it. This was the game where Mike Stoops lost it. He started screaming at a safety but the player screamed back at him pointed and then to the playing field. I don't care if you don't believe me go back and watch the game and you'll see I'm not making this up it happened in the second half. There's a reason he sits in the press box now.
You constantly talk about us. Now you're asking us if you think our defense can stop Baylor. Like I said we don't pay them for another two months. Doesn't it bother you at least a little that a school like Baylor who had never beaten Baylor until four years ago has put a serious beat down on OK the last two years? Nobody in the Big XII including Texas has never beaten a Stoops team like that. Last year was the worst home loss in the Stoops era and since you're on here more than OK boards I'll bet you didn't know that.
So now we come to OK/Baylor which you should be more concerned about. OK should beat TT next week and then they play KS and ISU. They should be 8-1 when they go to Waco on Nov 14th. If TX can run on OK the way they did then I can't even begin to imagine what Baylor will do because their running game is better, a lot better, than ours. Then OK will have to deal with Corey Coleman the best receiver in the country. Remember what Kendall Wright did against OK a few years ago belldozer? They also have an AA at ot. They're averaging 60 ppg and lead the nation in total offense. And btw Seth Russell is a better runner than Heard.
And then comes TCU who has the best running qb in the country. His name is Trevone Boykin ever heard of him belldozer? He will be at the Heisman ceremony in Dec. And they have the second best receiver in the country in Josh Doctson. They're second in the country in total offense. And even though the game is in Norman OK doesn't have their home stadium invincibility anymore.
And then comes OSU who is undefeated, ranked number 16, and has a sold defense maybe the best in the Big XII. Imo, their dc Glenn Spencer is the second best dc in the Big XII after Gary Patterson. OK will not drop 55 on the cowboys. OSU will be no worse 9-2 by the time Bedlam rolls around. Oh and when it comes to offense they also have an outstanding passing game. And Mason Randolph is the third best qb after Boykin and Russell.
There are so many reasons you should be more concerned about whether Mike Stoops can stop Baylor's offense, or for that matter TCU or OSU's offense than VB.
