Baylor: TCU Postmortem / ISU Preview

Good article. BU is better than their record. ISU better play hard all game.

while ISU needs to be focused against everyone, Baylor is not as good as last year. Their defense was run over by a TCU offense( 247 Rushing, 138 passing) that has been pretty pedestrian for most of the year. While BU did close the gap at the end of the game, it looked more like TCU relaxed a little too soon, instead of Baylor figuring everything out. Baylor ended up with 283 total yards and averaged 2.3 YPC.

That author was pretty harsh on Purdy and the passing game, but it was backed up by stats.

I wonder if Baylor will completely sell out to stop the run? If so, can we make them pay?

Get ready to see man coverage with constant pressure up the middle. Hoping Breece will continue to find open space on the outside.

I liked the quick outs to Akers last week to start the game. It set the tone that we were planning on using the whole field. Again, Kansas so.....

Teams are noticing that press coverage and blitzes are a problem area for us. I'd like to see us mix in some quick outs to WRs, end-arounds with Kene and the occasional screen. We're deceptive on defense. I think we need to embrace that a little more on offense so Purdy stays upright.

Baylor couldn't do anything against a mediocre TCU team. They got lucky with some heaves which safeties fell down and bad snap fumble by TCU, but that is luck not skill.

Baylor can't beat them rolling clones, we can only beat ourselves.

Careful, if we finally get to a killer instinct. It will not be a game. If we play conservative - look out.

Very good analysis on ISU in this article, and he made a couple points I wish a few of our fans would pay attention to:
1. The three man front with three S is very effective, and other than on select situations it remains ISUs base defense for good reason.
2. The defenses have and likely will continue to play ISUs offense, there are going to be running plays that get stuffed or have minimal games, but there are going to be some big plays that come as a result. This is in response to the "our offense sucks - take away Breece's 60 and 70 yard run and he only averaged 2.8 yards a carry, and those happen just because of Breece's individual greatness" arguments.

Breece is good, like really, really good, and he will make some big plays, but it will remain chunk plays until ISU can pass block better and they figure out something in the WR room in terms of guys getting open in man coverage. Milton is really missed. I think the Jackson kid shows some speed and wiggle, but he is hurt too.

I take it by “select situations”, you mean “most of the game last Saturday”?

Enyi was the three technique, with JaQuan and Will at the ends, Josh and Isaiah rotating at the nose mostly, I think. John and Eric were talking about it during the game.

It helps get our best pass rushers on the field—and gives opposing coaches something else to have to prepare for.

Yes, I’d say playing a bunch of snaps vs a terrible KU team with a QB with a 95 efficiency, no TD passes is probably going to be considered select scenarios over the course of a season.
