If offense is what you covet from college football, this is the game for you. The Baylor Bears are set to pay a visit to the 25th-ranked Texas Longhorns in what should be one of the highest-scoring battles all weekend. <\/p>\n
Baylor Bears (3-2) vs No. 25 Texas Longhorns (4-2)<\/strong> ATS Matchup Stats<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Gambling Insight!<\/a> |\u00a0Buy Ray’s Picks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Baylor has already been a part of one shootout this season\u2014a 70-63 loss against the then-ranked No. 9 West Virginia Mountaineers\u2014and this one has the potential to follow suit with two of the best offenses\u2014and two of the worst defenses\u2014taking the field at the same time.<\/p>\n The Baylor Bears are the proud owners of the nation\u2019s most potent passing attack, and they\u2019ll be sure to use it against the Texas Longhorns when the two meet in Austin this weekend. Having thrown the ball for nearly 400 yards per contest, quarterback Nick Florence has 18 touchdowns and 1,874 yards on the season. The senior does have nine interceptions to go with his incredible stat line, but it\u2019s important to note that four of them came last week against the tough defense of the TCU Horned Frogs.<\/p>\n The team also has the nation\u2019s leader is receiving yards up to this point. Terrence Williams\u2019 success has come largely as a result of Florence\u2019s arm and Baylor\u2019s system, but his ability to make plays will make the quarterback\u2019s job easier when it comes to outscoring Texas.<\/p>\n With the exception of the meltdown against TCU last weekend, the Bears haven\u2019t scored less than 48 points in any single game this season. They\u2019re averaging the fourth-most points in all of college football (47.6). TCU has proven to have one of the best defenses in the country\u2014a claim that Texas certainly can\u2019t make\u2014so don\u2019t expect too much of a hangover from Baylor against the Longhorns.<\/p>\n The only problem to the equation is that Baylor\u2019s defense has been downright awful all year. They\u2019ve allowed 41.6 points per game, which is only good enough for 121st in the country, and they\u2019re last in the nation in yards allowed.<\/p>\n The Texas Longhorns may not have the passing prowess of the Baylor Bears, but their offense has been just as lethal through seven weeks of competition. Averaging the 10th most points in the entire country (42.5), the team from Austin, Tex. will try to outscore the Bears with offense, and offense only.<\/p>\n The Longhorns are allowing 32.5 points per game this season, as they\u2019ve had extreme problems stopping both the run and the pass. The problem last week against the Oklahoma Sooners was that while the defense was expected to be bad, quarterback David Ash struggled against a tough defense. The Bears defense hasn\u2019t forced a single turnover in its last two games, and if that trend sticks, there\u2019s no reason to believe they\u2019ll slow down Texas this weekend. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n The Bears are a great offensive team with a horrible defense, while the Longhorns are a great offensive team with a slightly less hideous defense. Needless to say, this is going to be a shootout in Texas, and the team that can make the fewest mistakes should win this weekend.<\/p>\n Bears are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 conference games.
