Blanchard fell on the ball, terminating Oklahoma State’s last big chance during the Cowboy’s 35-24 loss to Baylor on Saturday in McLane Stadium. They enter Big 12 play as huge underdogs against Baylor this week. The freshman showcased his speed on a run down the sideline, while also showing he isn’t afraid to lower his shoulder and attempt to make a play. The same held true this season with Northwestern State, SMU and Rice. Since then, he’s played in about 16 or 17 games.
After Oklahoma State, Baylor has a game at Iowa State, a bye week, is home to Kansas and another bye week.
Baylor quickly responded in the 53rd minute, though.
You have to fast forward to October 29 to get a more defining look at Baylor.
Zamora, who played his first game of the season after being suspended after a video surfacing of him beating his dog, finished the first half with 109 yards and two touchdowns on six catches. It was a ideal game plan for any team taking on Baylor, save for the three turnovers. Two of the Bears’ victories have come against 0-3 teams. The senior quarterback is a difference-maker. After going 64 yards on 11 plays, Gundy elected to send out kicker Ben Grogan – who had missed a 44-yard field goal in the first half – for a 28-yard field goal.
“You know it seems like when our defense gets their backs against the wall, we play better, and so I just like to go ahead and spot them on the 20 and say, let’s play football”, Grobe said. “I don’t think he caught a lot of balls past year, but the coaches saw in spring practice, and I could see in our summer practices, that he had talent”. I mean, Texas is a very good team. It largely stemmed from the offensive line failing to get a push on the Bears while trying to milk the clock and keep the potent BU offense off the field.
– Getting stops and turnovers. Officials initially gave the ball to Oklahoma State, but the ruling was reversed on replay. “And so we wanted to be able to establish some running game, use a little bit of clock with playing on the road”. That’s why I’m so upset at everybody. Both had five catches and two touchdowns in last year’s matchup that Baylor won in Stillwater, though Cannon had 210 yards receiving and Washington had 88. Defensively, Baylor football is yielding 10.0 points per game against the opposing team.
Despite the departure of John Jefferson, the running back rotation is solid with Terence Williams, JaMycal Hasty and Shock Linwood. “It just was unbelievable tonight to watch the guys play so hard”.
Who knows what the depth chart could look like when Baylor has to travel to West Virginia for what could be a very interesting close to the regular season December 3? He now has 3,674 yards for his career with nine games left. You have to take care of the ball and you have to learn to quit giving up so many big plays on defense.
Offensively, Baylor football is averaging 275.3 yards in passing and 282.0 yards in rushing.
