It's funny because when Stidham was with Baylor most people would expect him to get chewed up and spit out by the elite SEC defenses, but now that he transferred to Auburn people expect him to light up these same elite defenses.


I may be in the minority, but I've never thought that the gun-slinging QBs of the Big 12 from places like Baylor, Texas Tech, etc. would get chewed up by an SEC defense. The issue with those teams is usually their offensive line up against the elite defensive lines of the SEC.

Baylor, Texas Tech, etc. have done an excellent job finding great players at the skill positions. Its just that those programs can't ever seem to sign any elite linemen, which is where the alleged mismatch against the SEC comes in.

Funny,

I've always thought Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Baylor, West Virginia, TCU, have all had successful QBs because they play against shite defenses all year, rather than them all recruiting great QBs every year.

It's weird too because of all those elite QBs you don't see them lighting up the NFL.
