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.

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

Each of them may have 2 or more losses


I do think a 2 conference loss team gets in again this year….but that's gonna be an uphill battle letting this home game get away.

The road games at OU and UT don't look as scary as they did a month ago. But suddenly TT, KSU, and TCU all look like toss up games. Not to mention KU.

It's gonna be tough going 6-1 through that.

That was a perfect ending in a game of poor decisions.

It's going to be tough to go 3-4 through that. Let alone 6-1. That's a pipe dream right now. Every single game left is a toss up and will be underdogs in a good 3-4 of them

Tough loss..I will probably get flamed for this, but, it's a miracle we ended up where we did last year. We easily could have ended up a 7-8 win team last year. With the grace of god we won, but we are not a dominant football team.

Lmao yep. It didn't matter of course but the fact he didn't go out of bounds just stupid

On the plus side, only 3 penalties I think. Do that vs BYu and today was our first loss

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


Plus didn't take points on a chip shot FG early

Just a complete failure all around today. Defense, Special Teams, offense… Aranda, Grimes, Roberts all failed miserably today


Yup

Expected more from them in year 3 butnonward

BIG 12 Championship Game is still within reach. However, no games like this. No more playing from behind. And get a kicker that can put it in the end zone.

IowaBear said:

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


When grimes is eventually gone, I'll look back and wonder "why"

We deserve this L… look at the bright spot after we lay an egg in zmoegabtiwn and drop to 3-3 the focus can be turned to basketball season


Does Anyone really care to have an ego on a baylor sports premium board? Big ballers over there eh?


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
lmao clavin af. 5000 words to say nothing


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.

After 5 games, Grimes is not the answer as OC, and we need Drones to get some playing time.

Maybe we can beat tcu to keep them out of the big 12 title game

We've let them own us for years now

I put most of that on the Briles "scandal" otherwise we'd probably be like 9-1 the last decade but doesn't excuse laying down for them year after year

What about the 14 last year?

Other than the miracle that was Abe, he'd be super underwhelming

One thing I didn't factor in is the likely hood that UT will have Ewers back by the time we face them. That will make that game a lot tougher.

From a BYU fan, genuinely sorry you guys lost. We were really pulling for Baylor to get the win there. Good news is that you still have a shot at the Big 12 title game and the championship. Hoping you guys take out TCU and destroy Oklahoma and Texas.

Would you like to recant this post? It was a pretty dumb thing to say, and then you got all fussy when I asked a clarifying question

The defense really has regressed. It looks like the Norwood days.

Game over. NO pass rush. Just not good this year. Can't win in Morgantown, TCU is a guaranteed Loss no matter where it's played. Ewers will skewer us, OU will find a way to improve by the time we play in Norman.

That's funny. West Virginia is at the bottom of the Big 12. This should have been a blow out. No excuse. The OU game will be an interesting one, and that's not a good thing. After last weekend's performance they shouldn't win another game. But the BU game is a legit todd up. Talk about an under performing disappointment.
