Matchups: ‘Everybody is a lethal weapon’ in Baylor’s hypersonic offense

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Between home-run throws to Corey Coleman and Jay Lee, or handing off to Shock Linwood (currently second nationally at 9.5 yards per carry), the choice facing quarterback Seth Russell isn’t how to hurt the defense but where to inflict the most damage.

“You can’t pick one person,” Russell said this week. “Everybody is a lethal weapon.”

Thus, No. 2-ranked Baylor has produced another Mach 5 offense capable of producing six on every snap. And this latest version has produced a five-game sample size more hypersonic than any in FBS history at 64 points and 725 yards per week.
