Although Baylor has been a disaster thus far, the Bears should see some improvement when they travel to face Duke on Saturday. The pressure is off now that expectations should be lower. Baylor should also get a boost from turning to Zach Smith at quarterback. He led the Bears to an upset of Boise State in a bowl game last year, throwing for 375 yards and three touchdowns. Dual-threat transfer Anu Solomon has been ineffective and Smith is the better pocket passer. This is also a potential letdown spot for Duke following last week's blowout of Northwestern.

New Baylor coach Matt Rhule did a great job at Temple and he will turn this program around, despite discouraging losses in the first two weeks. It won't take long because he has the talent. Going out on the road should take some pressure off the players. Duke has played great in its first two games abut this is a look-ahead spot with rival North Carolina on deck.
