RB: Deandre Washington 22-188 4 TDs
WR: Jakeem Grant 8-126 44yard TD, Devon Lauderdale 3-110

Defense: Impossible to say off weak schedule but the eye test says that a team that gave
up 69 combined points to SMU, Lamar and Rice is not very good. Watched SMU game and

Defense: Rush:6th  Pass: 20th  Overall: 32nd

Recent History:

2014: Baylor 48-46 at Tech, Red Raiders 609 yards passing but four turnovers and 125 yards penalties

2013: Baylor 63-34 in Waco, Baylor 675 yards offense 300+/300+ and would have been wore but 128 yards penalties

Notes and Bullet Points:

Most important thing to know about Baylor offense is that all these passing yards are YAC yards (Yards after catch)
Receivers are big fast and very good. They get isolated 1-on-1 on bubble screens, quick slants and pick plays, short
pitch and catch and off to the races.

94 and 97 points scored the last two games

Tech QB Mahomes has been going on sore knee, check status

Game is in Arlington so technically neutral field

How will Tech react to losing game on tip in the endzone in a game they should have won

Texas Tech 17-7 over in L24 on neutral fields
Texas Tech 9-4 over L13 vs. winning records

Baylor 17-11 ATS in all games and
Baylor 19-9 Over L28 lined games
