Why is nobody talking about what Baylor fans are about to walk into on a Thursday night in Jordan-Hare? I keep seeing these preseason projections and all the attention is on Oregon stacking five stars or Colorado's portal circus. Meanwhile we are sitting here stacking offensive line talent that would make half the SEC jealous and nobody wants to. Baylor thinks they know what a road game looks like. They played in some decent environments in the Big 12. But they have never experienced what it feels like when the sun goes down over the stadium that Pat Dye. There is something about Thursday night football in the SEC that hits different. You can see it in the eyes of the opposing offensive line by the third quartr. They start flinching before the snap. And here is the thing about this matchup that nobody in the national media is connecting. We have been quietly building something up front that is going to give us a serious advantage against teams like. Our defensive interior is going to be the most underrated unit in the conference this year. I have been saying this for weeks. People want to talk about the skill positions and the transfer quarterback battles and all that flashy stuff. But football is won in the trenches and we are winning there. Baylor fans can talk about whatever they want this summer. They can convince themselves they are coming into a trap game that they can steal. But the reality is that Jordan-Hare on a Thursday night with the crowd at full throat is a different animal. We have seen bigger programs than Baylor come in here with more talent and leave with their heads down wondering what hit them. The Big 12 does not prepare you for that. Period.
