Us winning this and giving Dave another year would be like me killing 11 hookers but buying dinner for the 12th and me expecting to make.it to heaven.

These guys created their own fire and passion. Despite the coaching.

Good for them.

We may be seeing our QB of the future in this game. Sawyer has been awesome.

Should be fired just for the fact he didn't hardly play Reese all year. This game is evidence of what a mistake that was.
Doc Holliday

Robertson doesn't panic as much as Shapen.

He can't throw as good, but he doesn't hesitate to make a decision. With an o line this bad it's helpful.

Jackson has to try to fight for the first down there. You can't go out of bounds there.

Best 30 seconds of coaching strategy and execution all year on that 4th down.

Nice catch for a receiver we keep off the field. Dave

This game should have no bearing whatsoever on his future.

3-9 and 4-8 are no different in Year 4. Both are wholly unacceptable, particularly when they're accompanied with awful efficiency metrics on both sides of the ball.


I sense you and I will have another year to talk Aranda offense.

Lol he's currently the 12th ranked quarterback in the conference. If he leaves Baylor he won't play another down in D1.


Wanna bet? I'm surprised he's still alive after what he has been given to work with this year.

Bo Nix was borderline bad at Auburn.

Look what he has become at Oregon.

A win may stick us with Dave again, but on the bright side, maybe it stops some from transferring out.

robertson looks heads and shoulder above shapen right now. i know earlier this season he struggled with ball-security and decision-making but this dude looks like a starter starter.

So, was there a reason given for why Shapen is sitting out? What about Baldwin? I know we suspect Baldwin to transfer, is that why he isn't playing?

Not playing Reese and Robertson on games is another reason to fire Aranda! Look what happens when they get quality time!!

Sharpen was ruled out early this week. Concussion and has wrist injury.

I saw Baldwin earlier.

Hummm….starting qb all year gets injured…. Backup plays really good while out…. how did this go last time

This will not affect the decision either way. He's either already gone or already staying.

In fairness, Robertson had been terrible before tonight. But he's healthy and playing extremely well tonight, which is great to see.

And Reese's problem is a deficient O-line. But that's a fireable offense, too.

Nix had over 8,000 combined yards and 57 touchdowns at Auburn. Not bad for a mid tier SEC team. He's got a way better line and dramatically weaker competition now. Let's don't get off track like this.

B2, why do you think the line is less terrible tonight?

Baylor has some talented players. All Power 5 teams do. There are literally thousands of competent players out there. Can I draw your attention to New Mexico State and Kansas and many others.

It's all about coaching, leadership and motivation.

I believe Aranda has a very long and successful career as a high level DC….college or pros.

Kevin Steele anyone??

Ever heard of the Peter Principle?

Promoted to one level above your competence.

It's not. We're averaging 3.2 yards per carry, which is slightly below our awful season average.
