Large Dozen

The Big 12's Weekly Recap Show

 

#9 Texas State 20, #8 Baylor 3

Baylor struggled to generate offense through the air, having to depend almost entirely on the ground game to move the ball. QB Travis Knebel struggled mightily, and continued lack of performance might see coach @Vivid send him down the depth chart. Playing a Top 10 team on the road is always grounds for a rough debut, but for a team with championship aspirations, Knebel simply might not be ready to be a complete part of the offense. He certainly can run the ball, though.

 

#4 Oklahoma 40, #13 Tulsa 13

Oklahoma has had talent and potential the last two years - but not a worthy coach until now. Coach @ChicagoTed1 has his squad off to an impressive start, and unlike Baylor, having a new signal caller still has Oklahoma gunning for a Natty. The offense looks potent, and the defense did its job.

Draft Stock Report

ILB Antwuan Vaccaro, Baylor

Despite Baylor's loss, Vaccaro showed an impressive knack at getting to the ball carrier, and the Jehu Ginn pedigree lives on.

 

QB Pace Frandsen, Oklahoma

Frandsen shredded Tulsa at a Heisman pace, and while its too early to declare him the "real deal", this performance alone could place him in the mid rounds. Repeated success would send him higher.

 

RB Dietrich Smith, Baylor

Smith is going to need to finish strong over the last 11 games if he wants to go before the late rounds. He was unimpressive last year in efficiency (3.86 avg over 275 carries) and he's started worse this year. Unless he has an off the charts combine, or becomes a concerning reach, he'll need to prove that its the scheme holding him back - but a run heavy scheme proving tough for a Power RB spells disaster.
