Baylor running game...
There was none a year ago, and just the presence and speed of Robert Griffin III will help...and but others must be a threat.
Jay Finley just raced 44-yards for a TD early 3rd-Quarter.
Bears up, 28-0.

A couple of nuggets from BU-Sam Houston State
I like the speed I see on the kick and punt coverage, Tevin Elliott delivered a vicious hit on one kick return, and big Phil Taylor inside tossed a SHSU RB around like a dish rag. Taylor MUST play well for the BU defense this season. And, Terrance Lloyd forced turnover, blowing up an option play forcing the fumble and getting the recovery too.

Welcome back Mr. Robert Griffin III
Baylor leads Sam Houston State, 14-0 4:00+ left 1st-Quarter.
Last drive Griffin scrambled for a first down and you could sense the anxiety in the crowd, but he got up and the crowd exhaled and then a huge applause.
A few plays later, Griffin goes 30-yards on 3rd and long for the TD.

Sam Houston State @ Baylor
Well, spent a lot of time out at the various tailgate parties, saw some people who've made my first couple of months so enjoyable, Mike Dewey, Pete Rowe, Jeff Kilgore, and it's amazing how many people we met from East Texas, including David Hene, who went to school with our kids at Tyler Lee.
China Spring head coach Mark Bell had a great setup for his tailgate and his ribs were DELICIOUS.
I saw the Bear Mobile, very interesting.
That area is wonderful---and it's Baylor's version of Animal House.
My wife Cindy made the trip in---it's a recruiting visit, but it's won't be against NCAA rules if someone was to offer her inducements and even a nice job...
Just kidding, maybe.
We're a half-hour away from kickoff, back in a moment.
Not a bad crowd here this evening, not completely packed but everyone here in the press box telling me it's one of the best crowds they've seen in awhile...the "Baylor Line" stretches from the entrance of the football team to midfield 10-15 deep.

Cautiously optimistic...
I'm a lifelong Nebraska football fan, that's never changed---even with their less than spectacular run of late.
I was very proud of their run at the end of last season and disappointed, frustrated but proud of their performance against Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game.
I know everyone seems to be on the Nebraska bandwagon, but until they piece together a few weeks of success, I'll be cautious.
For whatever reason--I've had that game at Washington, against the great QB-Jake Locker as the one where we'll know a little more about the 'Huskers.
It's one thing to come back and chase people when you've struggled, it's another thing when you're the one that's being chased.
Nebraska isn't at UT or OU's level, even though they beat OU last season. They did that with Sam Bradford injured.
Don't get me wrong, it was a huge win for them, but still--let's calm the national championship talk until they win a really big conference game against a highly-ranked opponent.

Game-Day at Floyd Casey Stadium
Well, my wife Cindy is on her way into town for the weekend and we'll head straight to Floyd Casey Stadium for the Sam Houston State-Baylor game.
I've been asked to drop by numerous tailgate parties and we'll try and enjoy them all.
I know this isn't a big-boy game, but it will be nice to get that first one to watch, observe and then discuss on our show on Monday.
And, yes---Monday is Labor Day, but in our business, we don't take a day off the day after the college was cover has played or the opening week of the NFL season.
Our show will start later with an 11:30am Rangers game in Toronto, but we'll be live at Waco Hyundai.
