If the Baylor defense is so bad, why does RG III throw so many long TD passes and keep putting the defense back on the field (what was it you said -- 36 touchdown passes averaging 37 yards each)? Wouldn't a good team-oriented QB want to chew up some clock and let the defense rest?

The Baylor Defense is not good...they have trouble stopping other teams and they play in a league where EVERYONE can score (except Texas)...Baylor's offense has speed at the wide outs and the most accurate deep ball passer I've ever seen in my 50 years on earth.  The Bears best chance of winning is to score as often as they can.  They are so good at this, that defensive stops become like service breaks...

But even in your more ball control offense, do you think Andrew would see a wide open receiver and decide not to throw the Touchdown because his defense sucks?

Stanford is supposed to be smarter than that...
