Baylor Senior QB Seth Russell...
“I’m excited for this week for sure. Regrouping is just kind of what we do. When you come out with a bad week you have to be able to sit back down and get back to basics, and I feel like the coaches said some really good things yesterday when we were watching film. We have to get back to what we do.”

Baylor Senior CB Ryan Reid...
“Senior leadership, coaching staff; we just have to remind everybody and keep everybody busy with football. We can’t keep everybody off of social media, but we can try to get them to not focus on everything that’s going on with social media.”


Elizabeth Sherman, SicEm365
Baylor Senior LB Aiavion Edwards...
“They have a great running game, and Baker Mayfield has done a great job this season. That’s going to be a big challenge for us as a defense and as a team.”
“We have to focus on the basics. We have to work on tackling this week. The tackles that we missed went into bigger plays down the line, so we have to focus more on execution.”

I thought Clay was supposed to start?
Looks like Bennett decided to start in the 4-3 instead of 3-4 this week so therefore no Johnston in starting lineup.

Talk pregame **** and quit on the first drive.

Excellent.

Two 3rd and 10's and can't get off the field. It's gonna be a long rest of the season.

Nothing a lot of Fireball can't fix.

I really hate how we get trashed anytime anyone associated with Baylor brings up Art Briles (and understandably so), but then the media can talk about how incredible of an offensive mind he had. Kind of like rubbing it in that we don't have that anymore.

4th and 3 and you run a direct RB snap up the middle. I would have gone for it too but...

Terrible play calling. Option run is there and the direct snap and needlessly throwing into coverage is the choice?

Run the ball

Switching over to WVU-UT game for a bit. This is painful to watch again a week after that mess in Waco.

Frankly, unreliable offense has been the most disappointing part of this team. At least ON the field.
