interesting take from a Baylor SBNation writer on their DL vs our OL...
..."The defensive line has coalesced and is playing extremely well; they were dominant against West Virginia. I think they will do enough to bottle up Allgeier and put the game in Hall’s hands, and he won’t be able to make enough plays down the field to keep up. I think the game will be closer than some are predicting, but I’m taking Baylor to win and cover."

I agree with him that our getting TA and the run game going is a key to our winning because if Jaren looks anything close to what he looked like last week and he's not using his feet enough to pose a threat, we'll struggle to finish drives. We gotta establish the run early and keep it going and take the burden off of Hall and the pass game. He needs to run a little when it's there to be enough of a threat to keep their D honest and keep drives going like he did the first 3 games.

A funny comment by the writer about TA and our run game:
"BYU has an atrocious offensive stuff rate of 22%, meaning that 22% of their running plays are stopped at or behind the line of scrimmage. That, in turns, means they have below-average explosiveness in the running game."

I'm guessing he hasn't watched TA play. We're kind of weird in how we establish our run game this year. In many of the games we haven't been very effective early running it and do get stuffed a lot. As the game wears on though it gets better. We jsut need the OL to be a little better earlier to get the run established from the get-go.
