We did it! We scored against U of H! Not many teams have done that!
Not many teams have scored only once in three quarters, you mean? Haha.

If they score here… it's over. We can't score twice.
I think the offense will actually find a rhythm in the second half. But by then, the defense will have returned to our usual level.

Doubtful. As bad as our defense can be, our offense is pathetically worse. I don't know why you have any faith whatsoever in our offense. Shappen sucks, our WRs are lazy route runners, and our O Line is the worst in the conference by a wide, wide margin.
This is objectively false. Our defense has been worse than our offense by every metric.

Our offense sucks because our O-line is incompetent. Our defense is the worse of the two units.

Offensive Ranking: 14
Defensive Ranking: 13

We are splitting hairs because both are pathetically bad, however, I'd venture to bet Baylor has played more defensive snaps than any team in the conference bc the offense is so terrible. It's had to play defense when you are gassed from being on the field 65-70% of the game.
Our offense entered this week ranked 77th in offensive FEI. That's really bad. Our defense was 89th. That's worse.

With a defensive head coach, your defense CAN NOT be that bad. It negates the entire purpose of hiring a defensive HC.
especially if dave is supposed to be a defensive guru...89th while half your games are against "offensive giants" such as texas state, LIU, iowa state, and cincinnati is absolutely gut-wrenching

If you can iso any of our LBs, it's basically an automatic first down.

Even when we blitz they have time to throw.

Slow is slow, but aren't angles something most players learn in 7th grade?

It's stupid that we can't even handle the basic fundamentals of the game.

If we don't fire Aranda, BU football will not exist for me next year. The players have quit, some of the coaches have quit, the fans are quitting.. there is no hope until we clean house and start over.

Some creativity and some pretty decent blocking by the line on this drive. Nice.

Grimes always waits until we are down to open up the offense.

Can Aranda come up with anything to say other than, "We were good in practice"? Anything, please!


Not until a legitimate reporter literally asks him a very angry yet factual question as to WHY COACH ARANDA SUCKS. Then asks him WHAT THE FYUCK ARE YOU DOING IN PRACTICE BECAUSE ITS NOT REFLECTED IN THE GAME!

Then finally, WHY ARE YOU SO ******* STUPID ABOUT WHAT I JUST ASKED YOU????

I'd fyucking DARE SMOAK-EITHER ONE, to put these to Baldy.

I told you guys we'd find some offense in the second half. That's been this team's pattern. I don't understand why we have to suck for 30 minutes to find some semblance of offensive rhythm, though.

You can tell Aranda is so f ucking sick and tired of Grimes and the complete lack of an offense. He basically said it all in those halftime comments. Clearly we won't fire him, but he needs to completely clean house.


What did he say?

He basically insinuated their energy gets killed by the lack of execution on offense. The defense hasn't played poorly today. Honestly, it's hard to be any good on defense when you are on the field 70% of the game. We just absolutely suck nuts on offense. Like worse than 2017 and Steele era bad this year.


Not Steele bad yet, but I'm afraid if this is allowed to go on another year or two, we will be back to Steele levels.

We had 1 FG blocked and the usually reliable Hankins missed another, correct? Was there a third opportunity?

First-and-goal from the 3 and we'll be lucky to finish with a field goal.
