00:00Let's talk Texas Bowl now, LSU and Baylor.
00:07The Bears, eight win football team.
00:09The Bayou Bengals, eight win football team.
00:12Baylor, a three and a half point favorite in the Texas Bowl.
00:16Seems a little bit compelling for an LSU team that is returning a couple of key contributors
00:21on both sides of the football.
00:22Yeah, it does.
00:23That line is very intriguing now.
00:24Sawyer Robertson and Baylor were one of the hottest teams in terms of the Big 12 at the
00:29end of the regular season.
00:31They won six games down the stretch by an average margin of victory of 14.6 points per
00:36game.
00:37Very balanced, rushing for around 170 yards per game, throwing for in the area of about
00:41250 per game.
00:43And again, Sawyer Robertson, 26 touchdowns, seven interceptions.
00:47I had a look just to make sure about the opt-outs.
00:50Mason Taylor opted out.
00:52He's in the NFL draft.
00:53But you have Aaron Anderson there, Kyron Lacy is there, Chris Hilton is there, and Nussmeyer
00:59is there.
01:00That's enough for me.
01:01Look, Dave Aranda did a fantastic job, saved his job.
01:04He was on the hot seat potentially after leading this team to a Big 12 championship and a win
01:09over Ole Miss in the early part of his tenure there.
01:12Regressed a little bit, got back on track this year.
01:15I just don't think they have the athletes to contain LSU from a defensive perspective.
01:20I know potentially LSU's defense is leaky, but again, you want to give Brian Kelly three
01:25and a half points in an underdog situation.
01:28This isn't Alabama.
01:29This isn't, you know, Georgia.
01:31This is Baylor.
01:32I'll take LSU with the points.
01:34I'm not...
01:35I'm just looking around.
01:36Well, I'm not sure Kyron Lacy plays.
01:38They have him listed right now, so I mean, you know, we'll see.
01:41It seems, though, very likely that both Will Campbell and Emory Jones will be out for this
01:46game.
01:47Yes.
01:48Which all of a sudden, if I'm Brian Kelly, I don't know if I want to even play Nussmeyer
01:51in this situation.
01:52It would be a little...
01:53No, he's going to, I think.
01:55To me, LSU, with the offseason that they have had, is very likely to have, let's call it,
02:00top 10 odds to a next year's national championship.
02:03That team will not be out on the field here against Baylor.
02:07We're early in the game.
02:09It's a very telling line, though, for Baylor to be playing like they are.
02:13Again, though, we are expecting to see Garrett Nussmeyer and Caden Durham and Aaron Anderson.
02:18There's a lot of talent for this LSU team, maybe in over 58 and a half, but that is for
02:24the Texas Bulls in Houston on Tuesday afternoon.
