I love this play and actually think the wrong team is favored.
Baylor +2 over Texas Tech. This is not the same TT team we are used to under Mike Leach. They are still one dimensional primarily being a passing team but that is where the similasity ends.
Baylor is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 conference games. Offensively they are well balanced averaging 470 yards a game, 290 passing and 180 rushing. Defensively they have been very strong so far this year. They are giving up an average of 15 points a game and 328 yards a game, 182 passing and 146 rushing. Baylor's QB Robert Griffin is the Big 12's version of Denard Robinson. He won Big 12 player of the week honors for his performance against Kansas, going 26/36 for 380 yards and 3 TDs and was the team's leading rusher running for 64 yards on 8 carries and 1 TD.
TT is averaging 386 yards a game offensively, 301 yards passing and 85 rushing. Defensively TT is a sieve. They are allowing 30 points a game, 242 yards per game passing and 137 yards rushing per game. In fact Iowa State just dropped 52 on them and Baylor is a hell of a lot better than Iowa State.
The game is being played at a neutral site, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. However Baylor's campus is 96 miles from Dallas while TT's campus is 330 miles from Dallas. Have a feeling there will be more Baylor fans in the stands than TT fans. Baylor has lost 13 or 14 in a row to TT. However I think they finally get the monkey off their back. This is a very Big game for Baylor.
