Another key problem (and maybe the biggest) is that our recruiting in certain positions is really lacking. Aranda, bad play calling and all, really can't win much with the kind of secondary he has.
Our corners are solid, but our safeties are disasters. You can't win with this backend.

That was a good way to end the half at least - maybe the INT will give us some momentum.

It didn't hurt us… But I don't understand running up the middle there rather than taking a knee.

More bad than good could happen in that situation.

We are making some plays on offense and defense but that $#!+ special teams play and the penalty after scoring a TD to give them field position are just more self-inflicted wounds.

Just checked in and our safeties are still the worst in the country. Such poor instincts and horribly coached technique. Crazy when you think you can recruit even underfollowed guys in Tx and develop a really strong secondary.

Optics. Dave having to get rid of both coordinators in one season was just too much I guess. Good interception to end the half though

best first half of football we have seen...feeling pretty good since we are a 2nd half team.

special teams need to get with the program or some schollies should be yanked.

Aranda stated on the way to the locker room that the team is finding ways to lose. Didn't say how much of that is on the coaches.

Armada's locker room speech is probably yelling at the team about how there are 10 genders

Yep… That unsportsmanlike was a total unforced error. Does anyone know exactly what Trigg did? Is it because he did a shooting motion?

He's done a lot more of the subtle blame game this season which tells me that he knows his seat is warming up

If by "team" he means the coach that designed the alignment and punt blocking scheme that allowed not 1 but 2 defenders to reach the punter then yeah.

We are playing better than I expected… But the first half of the Colorado game is probably our best first half of the year against a P4. We were leading 24-17.

Powledge needs to go to another team. Our safeties have no clue.

Bring Patterson back and let him work solely with the secondary.. mostly safeties. It will look better within a week or two. Their secondary was always in position and quick to the ball.

Hopefully, Baylor will never be dumb enough to hire another defensive coordinator with no prior head coaching experience again.

Maybe we finally learned our lesson

Not sure but I guess it was the pump shotgun racking & shooting action. I agree with the commentator that it was a weak call but still he should not have done it.
