adding....
baylor+3(125)...
baylor returns 9 from last year's starting offense, including 3 from the o-line & their key skill players...with sophomore sensation griffin back at qb along with finley & judy returning in the backfield & with 7 of last year's top receivers also back, baylor can score from anywhere on the field....
the baylor defense also returns 9 from last year's team, including 2 from the d-line...on the whole the defnese performed pretty well last year...although baylor's defense allowed an average of 31 points per game in 2008, they were actually better than average defensively after compensating for the great offensive teams that they faced in the big 12.....they gave up 5.6 yards per play in 11 games against fbs teams, but those opponents would combine to average 6.0 yppl against an average defensive team.......with last year's experience & practically everybody returning, baylor's defense should be very solid this year...
wake forest returns 9 starters from last year's offense, including all 5 from the o-line & their qb....last year wf's problem on offense was that they were unable to run the ball very effectively, & with all 5 linemen returning, that should improve, but even with this improvement, the running attack will still be very medicre...
on defense, wf returns 4 from last year's starters, including 3 from the d-line.....they lost all of their starting linebackers & 3/4 of their 2nd dary from last year's team....
i know this may surprise some people but i think baylor is the better team & they have had the whole off-season to think about revenging their humiliating loss to wake last year...
i'll take the points....
good luck...
GL this season AR!!! I thought revenge would have been a motivator for NCST on Thursday...we all know what happened there. Baylor has an offense though which is the key on that play! I like the pick!!!
