Live Blogging Baylor!

UPregame: Radio gig on the Big Ticket in Louisville went well. The hosts were at the Ryder Cup at Valhalla. And, they were talking to me? The update guy broke in about how Phil Mickelson was doing and then they went to my spot. Ryder Cup and then John Silver? Hope their audience didn't tank. Had a lot of fun however.

Edit 8 p.m.: Baylor's depth chart -- Playing the IR position is Thomas White. Playing the IBH is Jay Finley...What?

Edit 8:05p.m.: UConn wins toss. Will receive. Amazing. Finally this game is getting started. Hate late games.

Edit 8:11 p.m.: Lorenzen INT in endzone going to Butler. Awful. Stared down receiver. Great job,lost points.

Update 8:23: Griffin 16 yard TD pass to Akers. 7-0 Baylor.

First quarter wrap

UConn a little off by the INT. Looking better now. Got to ride Brown and get Griffin off the field on third down. Griffin is a major athlete.

Update 8:49 p.m.: Lorenzen 7-yard touchdown run. Good drive. Lorenzen hit Kashif Moore for 19 yard pass and they are riding Heisman Brown -- 13 rushes,71 yards so far. 7-7.


Update 9:02: Terrible job by UConn defense. Missed tackle to allow a first down on third and 9. Running back dive is killing them. Also, Lawrence Wilson can't cover a wide receiver. Kendall Wright has killed Wilson three times in coverage. Griffin 14 yard TD pass to Akers for a 14-7 Baylor lead.

Update 9:15 p.m.: Brown, Brown, Brown.21 carries 103 yards in the first half. Brown, 1 yard TD run,14-14 with 3:14left in first half. Just ride Brown.

Second Quarter wrap

We have a ball game. Brown 112 yards rushing in the first half. UConn199 total yards, Baylor 201 total yards.

UConn needs to do two things -- take care of the ball and get off the field on third down. Baylor is 4-6 on third downs in the first half. Also, LB Lawrence Wilson struggling in coverage, it might be time to play more defensive backs. UConn has five drives and three of them went inside the 10-yard line.

Offense is ok. Defensively, they have to limit the big play,especially on third and long.

Third down

Update 9:57p.m.:Defense holds Baylor to a 3 and out. Good pass by Lorenzen that nearly went for a touchdown to Moore. Right through his fingers. Had to settle for FG of 39 yards by Tony C. 17-14 UConn.

Update 10 p.m.:Memo to coaches. Do you need to put a linebacker on Kendall Wright? Another big play, this time off Lutrus.

Update 10:04 p.m: Griffin 2 yard touchdown. Defense just struggling today. 21-17. 8 play 72 yard drive in 3:22. Not good.

Update 10:11pm: D-But with a key19 yard third down catch. He is the team's best receiver (no slight on the other guys). Lorenzen 34-yard TD run. Great run by Lorenzen. 24-21 UConn. Good game.

Update 10:24p.m.: Lorenzen intercepted,sixth on the year. was in FG range, barely. Bad play.

Fourth quarter

Update 10:35 pm: Butler roughing the passer,negates big-time Deleston INT. WOW. Game changer right there. Kendall Wright two plays later,on another linebacker,Greg Lloyd. 28-24 Baylor.

Update 10:44: UConn needs a stop. No passing game again and Baylor has stopped Brown.UConn goes 3 and out. Ball on Baylor 5.

Update 10:55 pm: Brown 3 yard TD run. Defense comes up big. 31-28 UConn, six lead changes in this game.It's over for me for live blogging, gotta pay the bills.
