One of you questioned why I bought a 1.5 on UNC Saturday.....it was because I thought UNC should have been at LEAST a 7 point fav and I wanted to get it under 3 with concern. Damn if I found a different way to lose a game.......a holding penalty in the endzone with less than 2 minutes left on a 3rd down incompletion that would have given UNC great field position for a game winning FG.
The result does not change my opinion of UCONN. They are a fraud.....their Offense is horrible and their Defense is good, but I did not really see what I wanted to see from UNC's Yates and the Running backs. Different story with Baylor.
-This is a revenge game for Baylor, who dominated UCONN last year for 3 quarters, only to lose 31-28 in the closing seconds.
-This is Art Briles 2nd year and the team has athletes to run his offense now
-The only bright spot in UCONN's Offense, QB Zach Fraser, is now injured and out for the game.
-Even though I lost my play against UCONN, they now have lost their last 3 at home, proving that they are in a downward trend.
-This is Baylor's home opener, and the crowd will also be ready to cheer on a team that gained a hard fought win on the road against Wake Forest.
-Baylor has had two weeks to prepare to face an Offense that has no weapons now.
All things point to a bigtime Baylor win and a 2-0 start.
