***OFFICIAL BAYLOR PREDICTION THREAD***
- Thread starter TheJackWePack5
- Start date
Baylor does not play as good on the road, nor do they play as well on grass. ISU knows that they have to start fast and jump on Baylor in order to win. ISU wins the coin toss, elects to receive, scores a touchdown on a slow, 6 minute, 10 play drive. ISU 7-0, then ISU onside kicks, and takes up 3 minutes and gets a field goal, 10-0. Now Baylor finally gets the ball with 6 minutes left in the half. ISU is able to make them have a pretty long drive for Baylor, takes 3 minutes off the clock, and it's 10-7 ISU.
ISU executed this strategy of long drives well and goes into half time tied 17-17, but after the half, it all falls apart, and Baylor starts getting explosive play after explosive play. It's 38-27 at the start of the 4th, when Nigel Tribune gets a pick six off Bryce Petty, 38-34 BU. Petty is rattled, and Morrisey starts getting pressure. Sack, TFL, incomplete pass, punt. There's 5 minutes left in the game, and Jarvis West returns the punt for a touchdown. 41-38 Iowa State.
JTS is going nuts. Then Petty regains his composure and starts shredding ISU again. They move down the field and score a touchdown. 45-41 Baylor, 3 minutes left. Sam moves ISU down the field, and throws a pick in the endzone. Baylor runs out the clock. Final score 45-41 Baylor. Everyone is sad.

we have scored 14, 28, and 20 this year.
judging by our offensive output and playing a Top 10 team.
I am going to go with 21-45
I only see us winning this game if we are +5 in turnovers.

Unfortunately I don't see this one going much better than last year. I suspect something in the range of Baylor 63 ISU 17.
tongue:
I don't think the game will be close at all. But I thought the same thing about the OSU game a few years ago. So here is to Iowa State proving me wrong.

That's the one where we're holding out hope.
We did have a bunch of NFL defensive players that year. If we have that kind of player hanging out on the defensive side now, we could do it again. That's a big "if," but our biggest win ever was due to having a lot of very good talent involved.
I'm hoping we get to double digits, and hold Baylor to double digits.
And unfortunately I'm only partially kidding.
I think we'll do ok though - at least compared to last year. 45-20 Baylor
(But can see it getting ridiculously out of hand again)
