Who wins? Top scoring offense vs. top scoring defense
Well, come Saturday afternoon (3:30 kickoff on ABC / ESPN / ESPN2), we'll have one more data point in this age old argument when Baylor and Kansas State face off in Manhattan.
Baylor comes in ranked 3rd in scoring offense and has put up 50 or more against both of their FBS opponents (TCU and Rice) thus far.
Kansas State is ranked 7th in scoring defense allowing an average of just 10 points per game thus far.
Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III has put up very, very impressive stats thus far in leading his team to 3 wins. For the season, RG3 is 70 of 82 (85%) for 962 yards, 13 TDs, 0 Ints. He's also averaging 7 yards per carry and nearly 56 yards per game on the ground. He caught one pass (remember when he flung it out to the receiver and then streaked right down the middle of the defense for a huge catch in traffic against TCU) for 15 yards and he has punted once for 39 yards.
Kansas State's defense is among the leaders nationally in pass efficiency defense and pass defense.
Something has to give. Should be a good one to watch.
