Having gone to the last 2 Baylor games, I hate to say it, but BU does own us. The only team in the B12 that Baylor has beaten two times in a row is CU. This fact won't change on Saturday.
CU has to be able to win on the road. It's been a while sense this last happened. CU can not overlook Baylor. This has trap game written all over it.
A solid win would go a long way towards getting this bitter taste out of our mouths. But after watching OU fans blather on about hanging 'half a hun' on CU last week, you will not see me wishing for the same thing OU cheered for, lest we suffer the same fate.
On offense I wish for >180 yards rushing and >250 yards passing with no interceptions, bad snaps or fumbles. I wish that every trip to the red zone turns into a trip to the end zone. I wish for a >65 % conversion on 3rd down and <35 penalty yards.
On defense, I hope for 3 and out. No rushes of greater than 8 yards. Lots of pressure on QB Blake Szymanski, with <40% of passing attempts completed.
On special teams, no missed PATs or FGs, and all kickoffs/punts inside the 25.
And in the 4th quarter, CU finishes with the same intensity and focus they show on the opening drive.
