Baylor did a great job promoting RG3's Heisman campaign last year and an even better job promoting Geno Smith's campaign today.


Albert Breer ‏ @ AlbertBreer
Just texted w/an exec, told me he think Geno Smith "has a chance" to be the 1st pick in April, noted it's also bc of his strong junior year.


James Harden ‏ @ JHarden13

Stedman Bailey (WVU) &Terrance Williams (BAY) both had 300+ yds receiving, 8th & 9th FBS players w/300 yds receiving in a game since 2000.

Geno Smith and Nick Florence combined to throw for 1,237 yards, 16 yards shy of the single-game record by opposing players

Baylor’s 63 points is tied for the most scored by a losing team in a regulation game in FBS history.

Baylor & West Virginia....The teams also combined for 13 touchdown passes, which ties the record for most in a game involving FBS teams

Baylor- West Virginia...The two teams combined for 19 touchdowns (rushing and passing). That is the most in a game involving FBS teams.

Geno Smith's 8 TD passes are tied for the 2nd most in a game since 2000. (Case Keenum threw nine touchdown passes last season against Rice)

Geno Smith throws 656 yds, 8 TDs, West Virginia wins 70-63. 5th most pass yds in a game in D-1 history, 6 short of setting Big 12 record.

Geno Smith and the fast-moving, high-scoring Mountaineers proved they fit right in with their new conference, outracing No. 25 Baylor 70-63 on Saturday in the Big 12's highest-scoring game ever.

Smith tied a conference mark with eight touchdown passes and narrowly missed another one with 656 yards passing.

"It did feel like one of those classic Texas shootouts," said Smith, whose school moved over from the Big East this season. "That's kind of what the Big 12 is about."

Smith outdueled Baylor's Nick Florence, who broke Heisman Trophy-winning predecessor Robert Griffin III's school record with 581 yards. Florence threw for five TDs.

School, conference and FBS marks all got rewritten in this one.

The game also set a new record for the most points scored in a game involving a team ranked in the Associated Press poll. The previous mark of 124 was set in No. 12 Oklahoma's 82-42 win over Colorado in 1980.

How wild was it? Smith, the early Heisman front-runner, had more TD passes than incompletions (six). He finished 45 of 51 and still doesn't have an interception this season.

"Can you please tell me how you can improve on that?" West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said.

Maybe not on offense, but both defenses have plenty of work to do.

West Virginia amassed a school-record 807 yards and the teams combined for 1,507 yards of offense and 67 first downs. Six receivers had at least 100 yards receiving.

The Bears' Terrance Williams set a Big 12 record with 314 yards receiving. The old mark was set minutes earlier by West Virginia's Stedman Bailey, who had 303 yards and a school-record five TDs.

Williams' 8-yard scoring catch brought Baylor (3-1) within 70-63 with 3:08 left.

But Dustin Garrison ran for 17 yards on third down and the Mountaineers ran out the clock to snap Baylor's nine-game winning streak, the second-longest in the nation.

"We expect to score that many points a game," Florence said. "But the goal is to score more than our opponent and we came up a little short today."

The combined 19 touchdowns tied an FBS mark, last reached when Navy beat North Texas 74-62 in 2007. That matchup set the FBS record for most points in a regulation game at 136.

Baylor, meanwhile, tied an FBS mark for the most points scored by a losing team.

Among the other records, Smith set school single-game marks for completions, yards and touchdown passes.

Bailey and Tavon Austin became the first FBS teammates with 200 yards receiving since 2007.

Going back to the Orange Bowl, West Virginia has scored 10 touchdowns three times in its last five games.

"Statistically, it's my best game ever," Smith said. "But I think it's more about the team, and I think it just lets us know that we're going to have to battle it out every week against some really tough teams in the Big 12.

"I could care less about a Heisman Trophy. The big thing for us what that we won the game today. We're on a mission, and we want to win them all."

West Virginia went ahead for good early in the third quarter, but Baylor almost always had an answer.

Austin made long touchdown grabs three minutes apart while Baylor punted and missed a long field goal. Smith stayed in a groove, throwing three passes of 45 yards or more in the third quarter alone. His 47-yarder to Bailey set up Andrew Buie's second short TD run for a 56-35 lead.

The way this game was going, though, no cushion was safe.

Williams caught a 37-yard scoring pass from Florence and, after Baylor's defense forced a rare punt, Florence's sneak brought the Bears within 56-49, and there was still 14:14 left.

But Bailey scored on TD grabs of 87 and 39 yards after that.

"We fought hard," said Baylor coach Art Briles. "But we didn't respond well enough to win the game."

Holgorsen talked at length about how impatient he got watching Maryland's offense run the clock down before each snap last week.

There was no chance of a slowdown from Baylor.

The teams scored on 10 of their final 13 possessions of the first half. Seven of those drives lasted under two minutes.

Smith, whose passing yardage total was 5 yards shy of the Big 12 mark, completed a school-record 14 straight passes at one point. After a dropped pass, Smith completed 12 more in a row.

Smith's fourth TD pass came with 29 seconds left until halftime, but that was more than enough time for Florence. On second down he threw down the left sideline to Lanear Sampson, who juked two defenders and went 67 yards untouched to tie the score at 35-35.

The Mountaineers now must hope they can generate points on the road when they head to No. 12 Texas and Texas Tech over the next two weeks.

"Not every Big 12 game is like this," Holgorsen said.

which teams this coming draft would possibly use their first pick on a qb?

I see the browns being our biggest enemy in the Geno race. Theyll pull the trigger on Geno in a second if Weeden keeps sucking and they have one of the top picks.
What about the other teams that are probably going to be picking before us? Which of them will be valuing qb's as their highest need for the '13 season? Not many that I can think of.

Either way this franchise is going to be in position to draft a qualified first round qb prospect to replace cassel and HOPEFULLY they grow a pair and trade up for Geno because he is easily worth it.

Browns, Oakland, Tampa (if Freeman continues to play horribly), AZ (should Kolb play like Kolb)

Browns are 0-4, Saints are 0-3 the rest of teams have won 1 game, Chiefs,Broncos, Raiders, Jaguars, Titans, Colts, Dolphins, Patriots, Steelers, Rams, Bucs, Panthers, Packers, Lions. Missing a couple but out of all these teams the Chiefs need a first round qb more then anybody, you know for sure the saints,patriots,packers,lions,colts,dolphins and panthers won't draft qb in first. Would the browns draft back to back qbs in first round? I say the Geno sweepstakes will be between Chiefs and Raiders and maybe Jacksonville and titans in running. Way too early but with the way it's playing out the Chiefs could be in good shape, then we would have to worry about Pioli drafting him.

It doesn't happen often but Skip Bayless' comment was pretty good.

His arm has to be tired today!!!!

Chris Mortensen was just talking on ESPN like Smith might very well leap Barkley if he keeps playing like this... as if he could be the #1 pick. Although he talked like Smith has been on NFL exec's radar for a while now.

However it plays out, the chiefs will screw it up, or will get screwed some how....some way. It's our destiny.
He'll get taken a spot before us, or someone will trade to in front of us,or he's there and we don't take him.


It's our life

I don't know why anyone would say "might."

Barkley is only a consensus #1 pick by default. I'm more interested in if Murray plays well enough to become a consensus #1 pick so he declares early. If Murray doesn't declare, Geno Smith runs away with the #1 pick. IMO.

Let's not sweep Barkley aside, though. I'd be more than happy to draft him in the first.

Good year for QBs...

Murray has no shot at being the #1 overall.

What the **** kind of ****ing moron are you?

At some point we should figure out a way to set up a betting pool as to if the Chiefs will draft a Qb. Maybe once the draft order is established. Bet using casino cash.

I don't know dick about gambling or betting, but I think I would be fun.

Why is Barkley so widely loved? He is passing to NFL talent, the type of guys that turn 7 yard outs into 70 yard TD's. He should do well in college.


I am not sold on him, yet, but we need to take a shot.
