Bear Beatdown

Source: KU Sports

In the KU/Baylor Pregame podcast, I said that good, bad, or indifferent, there shouldn't be too much stock put into the game this past Saturday. Baylor is just that good. So, after watching what ended up being an old fashioned curb stomping from wire to wire, I'd be more than happy to just call the 59-14 Baylor romp water under the bridge. Unfortunately, we can't do that, and Charlie Weis definitely can't do that, so let's see if there are any tangible takeaways from one of the least competitive 59-14 games played in the history of football.
And it was just that. The 45 point spread was not particularly telling of the disparity between the two teams. KU held the Bryce Petty led offense scoreless on the first two possessions, but after a little early sputtering, the Baylor offense steamrolled through and around the KU defense, and the Bear's D ransacked the KU backfield. Baylor went on to tally 743 yards to KU's 308. Baylor had 31 first downs to KU's 16. Converted 8-14 third-downs to KU's 8-22.

Tevin Reese opened the scoring with a 62 yard pass from Petty at 9:17 in the first, Lache Seastrunk scampered for 29 yard touchdown run just two minutes later, and Glasco Martin scored from 14 yards out just over 3 minutes after that. 21-0 at end of first quarter.

Led 38-0 at half.
