Starting QB out on concussion protocol. He got levelled.

Hurts threw an interception and fumbled.

Exactly...the interception was due to alignment change...did you not see the play? It wasnt an accident...also the fumble....did it slip out of his hand? No....Dline adjustments changed and that pressure happened more in 2nd quarter....and he got hit more and led to fumble.
 
Baylor's rise is not complicated. They are the only team that prioritizes pass defense in a cupcake conference. The remainder of the conference is not accustomed to that and basically thinks it is unfair. The Big 12 since 2007 has had the mentality that any swing pass or tunnel screen is entitled to 15 yards.

Baylor allows 5.8 yards per pass attempt. That is 5th nationally. For reference, the Big 12 leader in 2016 was 7.0 and then 7.2 in 2017. Baylor has gone from 8.3 in Rhule's first season of 2017 to 7.6 last year and now 5.8.

Is Clay Helton going to prioritize that type of evolution? Not a chance. He won't know or care. USC has been between 6.6 and 7.0 every season since he became head coach. It was 6.9 this year. Meanwhile it's already happening at places like Oregon, where Cristobal moved from 6.9 in 2018 to 6.1 this year.

The Pac 12 and Big 12 hired tinkerbell coaches for many years. You couldn't expect it to continue forever. Once these stingy coaches take control it's much simpler to made huge defensive and physicality advances than in prior decades, because so many coaches basically aren't even trying and adopt the fanbase mentality that all you need is a prancing offense via the spread.

Oklahoma has made advances in pass defense this season also, from 7.5 in 2017 to a laughable 8.4 last season to a decent 6.6 this year. Lincoln Riley knows he is supposed to do it, but it is kind of annoying to him. Notice the difference in TD/INT ratio between Baylor and everyone else in the conference:

Yeah I'm sure the other coaches aren't trying at all to defend the pass and think it's "annoying" doing their job. Great hot take.
 
I believe Manny dislikes the spread variations because a lot of spread teams play bad defense. He thinks a slower, power pro-style game will protect and keep his defense off the field.

I truly don't understand how Manny looks at the makeup of his team and thinks Pro Style is whats best.

Anyway, I would like to see either of these team jump Georgia is they lose tonight

Neither would beat Georgia let's be fair.
 
Baylor has about a 0% chance with this QB unless something drastically changes or their defense puts up points

Are there still people who are against the Spread Offense?

Like are there people who seriously think we should stick with what Enox runs?
