Take a look at that photo. If you want to know how to beat Baylor there you go. Load the box with more bodies than they can block to stop their run game and then man up across the board with their WRs. In this instance, Ok State was running a cover 0 with no safety help over the top. There were other plays where they ran cover 1 with one safety back deep, but it was dependent on the formation that Baylor was in. It was a gameplan that a lot of teams are afraid to use against Baylor because of their team speed, but that's the way to beat them.
If we are going to have any chance of slowing down the Baylor offense, we are going to need our d-line to control the line of scrimmage and get pressure on Petty and then our corners to be able to man up against their WRs. There's no doubt that we can do the same thing as Ok State because we have just as good, if not better, athletes that they do. But Baylor is going to come out like gangbusters in the final game at Floyd Casey so we'll need to make some momentum plays early on like sacks or turnovers or special teams plays to get the momentum away from them. And it's going to take a huge effort from Robinson and his defensive staff and players to make things work. The blueprint is there on how to stop Baylor. It's really no different than a lot of those Tech teams under Leach when it comes to being physical with their WRs. The difference between those offenses and this one is that Briles isn't afraid to run the ball with his RB or QB so you can't play as much zone as you could against Leach.
