Week 4 Prediction Thread: Texas vs. Baylor...Big XII Here We Come!

Chop said:
Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson

45.2% completion percentage

Not the most mobile guy you'll find at QB.

6'4" 218 lbs
RS Sophomore
Lubbock Coronado High School
Fairly well-recruited - some ranking services even had him as a 4-star recruit. Signed with Miss St.

Transferred from Mississippi State. Now he's starting at Baylor, after taking the reigns from returning QB Blake Shapen.* So this guy is not chopped liver.

*QB Shapen has struggled with injuries, so he may, or may not, be available.

Again however, he's not especially mobile, so he'd better hope that the Baylor line is hitting on all cylinders on Saturday. He'll face off against the best D-front he'll see all year. And the best D-backs. And they don't have the running game to bail them out if Robertson is off. No pressure dude...

There's some buzz on Baylor sites that injured QB Shapen may start (or at least play a lot), and play hurt. There's not much confidence in Robertson.
 
As much as our slow start against Wyoming bothered fans, Baylor's fans are equally (if not more) upset about a 16-7 halftime lead against an 0-2 team that has only been at the FCS level for 4 seasons.

I think we learn our lesson from last weekend and go in there with more of a sense of purpose.

Texas 38
Baylor 14

Shame on Aranda if he plays an injured QB just to beat Texas. Not likely they'll be competing for a B12 championship even if R3G3 comes back. Although a down bailor doesn't mean Texas can't lose. Just look at Grant Teaffs last game.
 
Don’t really think QB for Baylor is all of their worries. Slow starts will hurt us if they continue especially with the Paperclips in a few weeks, but not this week.

TEXAS ~ 38
Baylor~ 10
 
I believe in our defense. The defense will travel.

I can't put a finger on the Texas offense, and all three teams we faced so far have been copying what Aranda did to us last season. I believe Aranda will throw some more confusing D at us. How well we handle it is the big question.

Holding on to my right to change my mind before Saturday, I'm calling it

Texas 29

Horns have not covered as a favorite yet this year and the Horns are an early 15 point favorite this week. I think Texas does get the cover but not by much

Texas 34
Baylor 17
 
I watched Hamilton, Burton and Munroe previewing the game.

Baylor — LBs are good. DL is fairly good.
On O, Baylor’s LT will have a rough time protecting the QB. They run a lot on 3rd down.
