Baylor 10/21 Noon ESPN+

[Lobot]

Baylor comes to town this weekend fresh off a 39-14 blowout loss to Texas Tech. This will be the very first meeting between BU and UC.

The Bears come in at 2-4 and 1-2 in conference thanks to a last second one point comeback win against UCF earlier in the year. They are led by QB Blake Shapen who slings it around pretty well when he's able to stay off his backside. This is a QB who you have to put pressure on. He's mostly immobile in the pocket and gets sacked a lot. Texas Tech got 6 sacks on the day this past weekend. Dave Aranda's squad does not run the ball well or often. They do use the TE a lot in the red zone.

UC's key to this game is defending the pass in the secondary when Shapen has time to throw. The ESPN predictor gives the Bearcats a 72% chance to win but I'd take that with a grain of salt considering we were a 63% chance to win against Iowa St and got run over.

The line is currently UC -2.5 although they have the over/under at 52 and I'm thinking nope on that one.

The big question is which QB will start for UC. We've discussed this on here and I don't know what you do. EJ probably gives us the best chance to win and this might be the only win left on the schedule but it seems like the the team is not behind Jones at all. The chemistry issues are starting to rub off on the defense a bit in my opinion. I hope the D can rein in the Baylor passing attack enough to give a us a shot if we can score at all. If EJ starts I would not expect him to continue in the game if there's nothing positive happenning in the passing game by halftime.

Not sure the best place for this but Satterfield says Sammy Anderson is out for the year (medical reasons, not disciplinary...)

Satterfield presser statement from today . EJ will start. CSS says he believes Emory gives them the best chance to win. Discussions have taken place about getting the young guys (not specifically QBs), more time on the field while preserving redshirt status.

He's had two concussions already in his career as a redshirt Junior. He wants to be out there and is probably in line for a medical red shirt for this season. Hopefully it's not so serious that he has to give up football.

Are you the tertiary market (or are the ticket vendors)?

Seems like it's me this season.

My personal schedule vs game schedule dates and times just has not worked in my favor at all this year. I'm kind of disappointed. I wanted to at least make one or two this year and it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I would be up there for Baylor if not for the noon start time.

ISU was sold out, and nippert was pretty full - with the way the game went, and the rain, it thinned out early. hopefully, everyone shows up for BU, and stays for 60 minutes

What you need to know about the game. Spoiler is that they have the Bearcats losing. Cincinnati vs. Baylor: Preview, Prediction, and Game Odds (heartlandcollegesports.com)
BTW, I do not believe that UC can score 31 points.

Tomorrow may be the most important game of the season...... win and we could win 3 more games. Lose, and we will not win another game the rest of the season.

Kerry Combs led special teams and DBs are atrocious again this week. Someone tell me what he brings to this team? He couldn't do a thing with talent at tOSU and was canned there so dont say recruiting. Does no good to get a 4* when you cant develop them. Why do we think he would be worth anything here?

What an absolute clown show

He theoretically is a recruiting pipeline into the Ohio region which is sorely needed right now. Seeing as how we're not recruiting locals at this point, I don't know why you keep him on staff. He's probably got enough built up in the state retirement system to call it a day anyway.

Well they're going to fight this week. Could have folded at 20-7
