SMU @ Baylor on FS1

Submitted by HelloHeisman91 on

It looks like Baylor is going to run away with the first game played in their new stadium.  That places look really nice.  The best picture I can find online is a rendering but I think it represents the place pretty well.

Don't know the Baylor campus layout, but that looks like it be pretty far from campus.

 

....just did a google maps search and it turns out it is walkable distance.  Very nice.

SMU's QB should have just shouted "500 dead or alive!" on that pass which ended up being intercepted. Awful throw. 

It's been reasonably efficient as usual for Baylor - those 31 points are only spread across 205 total yards, but when SMU is begging you to have the ball with excellent field position, it's easy enough to achieve that.

Here's what the new Kyle Field(current capacity 106,000) looks like: 

Old vs New: 

A&M now has the largest scorboard in all of college football. Texas is supposedly working on expanding DKR to 115,000. Not sure it's a good idea, they had 93,000 in Charlie Strongs first game and last year they only had 100,000+ twice. 

LSU also finished expanding Tiger Stadium and now seats 102,321.

Baylor's non conf is going to be an issue of debate if they win the Big 12 unless they go undefeated.

SMU, Northwestern State, Buffalo.  The only Big 5 conf team to not play any other Big 5 team in non conf.

They do play 9 conf games I suppose that helps.

If my memory serves I posted a story about them scheduling incarnate word  in 2019 this winter.  Not sure what the hell they are doing.  SOS be damned I guess.
