Quotes of the Week

Senior Defensive Lineman TJ Franklin

"Definitely, we got this Gold Out thing this week. So, we're really excited for that. I know the fans and supporters are gonna bring a lot of energy with that. So that's definitely going to fuel us on the field." 

Junior Tight End Drake Dabney

"I think the main difference is just new people on the (OSU) defense. A lot of the same frontline guys, but definitely new secondary, new linebackers, but still the same fast Oklahoma State team. Lots of respect about that defense, they'll be bringing it.”

Head Coach Dave Aranda

"Yeah, I think (the defenisve backs’) confidence is increasing. And I think they're playing hard and practicing well. You look at the last week those guys had was their best week, and then they come out and play well. And so it's really cool to see, and we'd like to build on that." 

Analysis of the Week

Former Baylor QB J.J. Joe

This week will be a markedly different approach for Coach Grimes and Blake Shapen. The schedule is very similar to last year when Baylor went from playing an Iowa State defense that plays a little more bend-but-don't-break to a Cowboy defense that attacked our offense limiting the Gerry Bohannon-led offense to 280 Total yards.

Well, this Cowboy defense while under a new Defensive Coordinator Derek Mason remains an aggressive style of defense, especially on passing downs. The strength of the Cowboy defense has to be upfront. The Cowboys have a very experienced group that is highlighted by three (3) Sixth Year Seniors in Brock Martin (DE), Brendon Evers (DT), and Sione Asi (DT) plus one 5th year senior in Tyler Lacy (DE). These guys are men, I mean men. Their average age is over 24 years old. So our experienced offensive line will meet a very formidable front on Saturday.

Man they've really talked shapen into being the opposite of the runner he was last year.

Safer but so many missed opportunities.

Pendulum swung too conservative I think

But first you'll see all these folks who predicted us in the playoffs this year (there were many on the premium board) post long diatribes about how they knew it would be a down season and how these offensive coaches are top notch and we'll for sure be in the playoffs next season

Toss in the end zone that led to a safety. And then going for it way too early on fourth in our own territory that also led to points for ok st. This game would be a one score game if not for those two

I expect that these two teams may meet again in Arlington.

Each of them may have 2 or more losses

So many mistakes on both sides of the field by everyone. Shared blaming including on the coaches. Hopefully the players face this adversity better than our fans lol!!!!

So many massive egos on the premium board. Bunch of ego stroking. Wife is 38 weeks pregnant, I don't have time for it anymore.

Drops, missed block, toss sweeps from our 1, and not kicking out of the end zone.

Not trying to insult you, but are you being serious? Oklahoma State may be in the championship, but Baylor will struggle to get six wins this year. That's the reality we are in

There were definitely some brain dead play calls.

I didn't like going for it on 4th and 5 from our 40….and they turned it into a FG. But….if we point that out then we have to consider we also went for it on 4th and 5 from our 30 and got 7.

Those call are too risky for my conservative nature….but the net result was a +4 for BU.

Especially if we play more games like this. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but we need to to take the lead and let the other team play catch-up.

Honest question how many B12 games have started by the opposing team marching down and putting 7 on the board with ease? Both this year and it felt like a ton last year. Couple that with Grimes refusing to open it up until he literally has too and it's a recipe for failure
