W. Virginia 49 - 35 Baylor (9:13 left in 3d Quarter)

Geno Smith is great, and his receivers are great, but it is very hard to overstate how bad Baylor's defense has been.  This time they have WVU 3 and 12 at the WVU 48.  Smith drops back to pass, dances around for about 10 seconds, and then hurls a pass all the way down to the Baylor 15 -- where Tevon Austin is completely undefended.  Austin scoops in the catch and strolls into the end zone, looking for all the world like a kid playing in his back yard.  I have no idea what the Bears' defense was doing on that play.

The two teams have now scored 84 points, so they have covered the over.  WVU is also covering the 11-point spread, at least for now.

Here are Smith's latest numbers:  34-38, 436 yards, 6 TD's, 0 INT's.
