If I'm Aranda and I feel like my job is in jeopardy the QB decision is a pretty easy choice right now.
I agree. But Aranda has made giant unforced errors before. If he starts Finn on Saturday, he deserves whatever heat comes his way.

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Finn for a play or two here or there. But Sawyer has earned the chance to lead this team with his play on the field.

Are things as clear as people make them out to be?

Tom Sawyer looked good against a bad AF team

Huck Finn looked bad against a much better than AF, Utah team.



How did Huck look against Tarleton? Did you like those two INTs?

I hope Sawyer gets the nod going forward. He throws on time and on target with some anticipation. Which happened to open up the run game…imagine that! I don't even want Finn coming in for any type of packages. He is more likely to throw the ball in the ground or the other team. Wouldn't even want him as a 3rd down or goal line QB.



The fact that we apparently gave him six figures to be our starter for two non-conference games…..just astonishing. That money should have to come out of Dave's or Mack's pocket if they decide to keep Dave after this year.
He may have been the only one we could get????? And I think everyone thought we needed to have more than just 2.


On paper, I think he probably was about the best quarterback we could get within our budget, but hindsight being 20/20, we probably should've used the money somewhere else and found another RJ Martinez somewhere for cheap


Everyone is forgetting that Sawyer was a Mike Leach recruit. That in itself should tell ANY coach that the kid has some skills and it's not to run the ball as a QB.

If Finn runs on Folsom Field for our first rep - DA and Mack need to be fired on the spot.





I wish I could add more stars to this post.

With that said, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Dave starts Finn. He has a history of poorly managing the QB position.


How many times have we said 'if Dave does this, he needs to be fired' and then he did that thing. He's crossed several of these invisible lines in the sand already. If he starts Finn, we will get destroyed, and there will be folks on here that make excuses for Dave as always. For the record, I think there's probably a 90% chance that Robertson starts and Dave is just trying to keep them guessing as they really are two very different styles of quarterback, as well as having the added benefit of giving a convenient excuse for why the high dollar transfer isn't working out and allowing everybody to save face, including Finn. Ie he's not starting because he's a liability as a passer, there's an injury to his throwing arm

There's an easy solution to this question. Finn played 2 games, One against an easy opponent and one against a tougher opponent. You evaluate his performance. Robertson has now played against an average team & here comes Colorado. Afterwards you evaluate. Pick a starter and go forward. None of this day-to-day decisions.

Right now Robertson has the lead. Next Saturday we will have a better idea.

We've seen Finn twice. He was mediocre against Tarleton state and made poor decisions throwing the ball. Against a good defense in Utah, he was as bad as any QB Baylor has put on the field in many years. Robertson had a good possession against Tarleton in mop up duty & produced a TD drive. Last week he was very good throwing the ball and no picks. Going with Finn who has shown to be reckless with the football and ineffective at moving the chains could be a job-ending mistake for Aranda.

We'll see who Davey trots out there in about 4 hours. Surely even he can get this right.
