but another broadcaster replied that this year's Baylor offense is much better.
Biggest reason he probably says that is that Seth Russell is pretty fast and much more mobile than Brice Petty was. That and the fact that the offensive line is very big and are mostly seniors who have started for 2 or 3 years.
Russell throws a nice pass and has made good decisions for the most part. I got to watch the backup QB Jarret Stidham (true Fr) play 2 quarters Saturday, he has the potential to be even better than Petty or Russell.

I appreciate your attempt at an unbiased analysis of a theoretical matchup between the two. Probably more unbiased than I could be.
The only problem I have is that you say that they would still put up 35-40 points. Miles gameplan against spread teams in the past would suggest that he would limit Baylor's time of possession significantly by chewing up the clock with up the middle runs and pounding the opponent into submission.
If Baylor were to get 35-40 points it is because they got early turnovers against LSU and converted them to touchdowns putting LSU down early and making them pass. This would be disaster scenario, which the likelihood of happening would be limited, in my belief, by the fact that he would limit the throws to play action and high completion percentage passes.
If Miles gameplan worked successfully, and to his credit it usually does, we would be looking at a 14-28 LSU win, or something like that.
