TELEVISION COVERAGE
Saturday's game will be televised nationally on FSN. Bill Land (play-by-play), Dave Lapham (analyst) and Emily Jones (sideline) will serve as the on-air talent. It is Baylor's ninth televised game this season.
RG3 RACKING UP THE RECORDS
Junior QB Robert Griffin III owns or shares 46 Baylor single-game, single-season or career records. The QB owns 27 different passing records. RG3 broke his own school records for passing yards (479) and total offense (551) in the win over Oklahoma. RG3 also set the NCAA record for consecutive attempts without throwing an interception to start a career (209).
RG3 is among the top 10 in Big 12 Conference history in seven career categories: 1st in interception percentage (1.4), 6th in completion percentage (67.0), 7th in total yards (11,750) and passing yards (9,645), 9th in passing touchdowns (74), total plays (1,610) and completions (754). RG3 became the eighth 2,000-yard rusher in program history with 103 rushing yards at Kansas (2,033). By season's end, he could become the first 10,000-yard passer in program history. He needs 355 passing yards to reach the milestone.
With his first TD pass in the Oklahoma game, RG3 broke school records for consecutive games with a TD pass (season/career). RG3 has thrown a TD pass in all 10 games this season (record was 9), and 12 straight dating back to last season (record was 11). In only 10 games, RG3 has already broken the Baylor single-season passing record with 3,572 yards. He held the previous record with 3,510 passing yards in 13 games in 2010.
NATION'S 2ND-MOST POWERFUL OFFENSE
Baylor's is the only team in FBS to average at least 200 yards rushing and 300 yards passing per game. The Bears are one of three to rank in the top 25 nationally in rushing and passing offense (Stanford, Texas A&M).Baylor leads the nation in passing efficiency (192.12), ranks 2nd in total offense (572.7) and first downs (28.2), 5th in passing offense (369.7), 11th in scoring offense (40.8) and 25th in rushing offense (203.0).
Baylor's offense is averaging 40.8 points, 572.7 yards of total offense, 369.7 passing yards and 7.6 yards per play, while completing 72.8 percent of its passes; all five currently would stand as Baylor single-season records. Baylor has already broken the single-season school record for passing touchdowns (34). Baylor has 5 games of 600+ yards total offense this season. The Bears had only 7 such games in their previous 109 seasons, with 2 of those coming last year. 7 of the 12 600-yard games in program history have been in the Art Briles era. Baylor's offensive success can be attributed to its play-caller, co-offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery. Montgomery and head coach Art Briles are the architects of Baylor's potent offense.
INSTANT OFFENSE IN TWO MINUTES (OR LESS)
Baylor, which ranks 11th nationally in scoring offense (40.8 points per game) through 10 games, is averaging 1:56 time of possession on 59 timed scoring drives. By comparison, Baylor averaged 2:27 on its scoring drives in 2010.
33 of Baylor's 59 timed scoring drives have taken less than two minutes, including 18 scoring drives of less than 60 seconds. Baylor has only 13 scoring drives that have taken three minutes or more. 9 of Baylor's last 11 scoring drives have taken less than 2 minutes (all 4 at Kansas, 5 of 7 vs. Oklahoma).
A VERY BALANCED ATTACK
All season long, Baylor's passing attack gets most of the attention for its high-power offense. However, Baylor owns one of the nation's most balanced offensive attacks. Baylor is the only team in FBS to average 300+ yards passing and 200+ yards rushing per game. Baylor is also one of only three schools in FBS to rank in the top 25 in both rushing offense and passing offense (Stanford, Texas A&M). The Bears rank 5th nationally in passing and 25th in rushing.
RECEIVER TRIO AMONG BIG 12'S BEST
Baylor has three receivers ranked among the top 8 in the Big 12 in receiving yards per game. Kendall €ˆWright (2nd, 128.1), Tevin Reese (6th, 79.1) and Terrance Williams (8th, 75.7) all rank among the Big 12's top 8.
Wright (7), Williams (4) and Reese (4) have accounted for 15 of the 58 100-yard receiving games by Big 12 receivers this year. Wright is the only Big 12 receiver with 2 games of 200+ receiving yards this year (208 vs. Oklahoma, 201 at Kansas State).
Baylor has never had more than one receiver with 800+ yards in a season. Reese (791) needs 9 yards and Williams (757) needs 43 yards to join Wright (1,281) and give Baylor three 800-yard receivers this season. Reese and Williams both need to reach 823 yards to join Wright to have 3 of the top-10 receiving yardage totals in program history.
