Baylor defense showing steady improvement

By JOHN WERNER jwerner@wacotrib.com

As Baylor’s painful season nears an end, Matt Rhule is looking for any positive signs that his team can build on.

Baylor’s offense needs to reduce turnovers after committing six in the last two losses to Texas Tech and Iowa State. The offensive line must get much better to allow the running game to flourish and to give quarterback Charlie Brewer more time to throw.

But Baylor’s defense has clearly been a bright spot during the last month in this 1-10 season. A defense that was burned by Liberty in a 48-45 loss in the season opener has become a unit the Bears can win with if the offense can produce enough points.

“After Baylor freshman running back John Lovett fumbled at TCU’s 3 early in the fourth quarter.......”

Still 3 days from kickoff and they’re already turning it over. That’s tough to overcome.

Isn't every defense on the planet technically a unit that teams can win with if the offense can just score enough points?

It's awesome that Rhule feels good about his defense playing well in a loss to Iowa State against their fourth string QB. They are still on track for the Moral Victory Bowl.

Good job, Baylor. That's a very intimidating unit down there. So glad that Rhule finally brought defense to the Big 12.

When your starting point is giving up 48 points in a loss to Liberty, there is nowhere to go but up. Loved the paragraph on limiting Kansas as well. Really? Perhaps they could provide some quotes about their defense dominating their scout team offense? I hear that has been total destruction.

Well we’ve thrown blitz packages at Rudolph even earlier than that apparently.
