1 week in the books and on the bright side, there are no SunBelt teams on the schedule this week. The SBC went 3-0 vs the Big XII last week with wins over Iowa State, Kansas & Kansas State. Houston Baptist almost got one for the Southland vs Texas Tech. The good news for those that lost, they are still 0-0 in conference play. The good of week 1, Texas and Oklahoma did Texas and Oklahoma things. Spencer Rattler and Sam Ehlinger looked AMAZING. West Virginia had a good showing on the ground game and got some confidence going into conference season. Now week 2. It's a light week, 2 games.
Baylor opens up the 2020 season and the Dave Aranda era vs SWC Rival Houston. Baylor was a surprise team last year under Matt Rhule that went 11-3 and a New Years 6 Bowl. Aranda comes in after a National Championship as Defensive Coordinator at LSU. It will be curious how the team blends to his mind as a Defensive Coordinator and the offense that it put up last year under returning QB Charlie Brewer. Houston is starting year 2 under Dana Holgorsen. Dana is no stranger to Baylor being at WVU prior. Will Houston take the strides to get back to the AAC title game and as a contender? This game is a quick schedule add also in the world of college football in the Covid landscape.
I think you see poor tackling and teams having issues with penalties holding, etc. Both teams going back and forth offensively and taking the lead. In the end I think Baylor gets a score or 2 in the 4th quarter to get the win and cover. Baylor 41 - Houston 36
11 - FOX - Baylor (-4)
With only 1 game, the Awards post is really not the most needed.
