Solid! Lets Pad those stats Saturday.

Hopefully the bigger schools don't come knocking in the off-season like what Kansas State experienced

Really cool for Sawyer, nice to get some well deserved attention. I think he can be a great one.

I'm just not sure exactly what a qb power ranking really is.

Well, according to the rumor we were offering Will Howard 4mill also. We probably have enough to keep Sawyer plus he has Cameron so next year he should put up great numbers.

I told y'all Aranda is the qb whisper that's why he's quiet

He seems very happy here and is able to talk about his faith openly in interviews. I know anything can happen in this wild west NIL world, but it would be a little surprising if he left for another school.

The season before he won the Heisman at BU, RG3 had 22 TDs and 8 INTs. Sawyer Robertson is sitting at 20 TDs and 4 INTs with three games left to play. And he didn't become the starter until Week 3.

Hopefully the NIL program has enough money to hold off the poachers.

He is the reason we're winning and I can only hope we can find a way to replace him after he leaves.

He seems very happy here. His faith is a big part of who he is so that is in our favor. He's a Texas kid so this is home for him. He obviously is thriving in Spav's system and if Spav is back that has to be appealing.

But....big money is big money. We just saw Ohio St lure Will Howard away from KSU with a million dollar NIL deal.

Sure hope we can hang on to him.

---

Judging from interviews and how he talks about his stay here and his team mates, I think him feeling comfortable in his Faith and being comfortable here is a huge part of it.

I enjoyed those types of rankings pre-NIL.

Now, not so much..

He does seem to really like Baylor. And he's a humble, West Texas kid. If we take care of him, I don't think we'll have to worry about losing him.

I do hope you're right. I think we can be competitive, but I get concerned about deep pocket teams desperate for a quarterback who may offer true life changing money well into the 7 figures.

Hopefully my concern is unfounded.

I love Sawyer - but RGIII had also run for something like 800 yards and 10 TDs.

Sawyer didn't run much at all against wvu.

Doesn't seem like they want him running. Running is a quick way to play your second string QB.

Yep… I think the occasional run just to keep the defense honest is a good idea. But no reason to make that a real feature.... especially with how well the running game is working.

I don't think they mind running him because we've used the quarterback run game pretty effectively all year. But you only do it when you have to (for the reasons you mention), and West Virginia never made us.

Sawyer Robertson has the 6th best QBR in the country, and I’d say he’s in pretty good company. pic.twitter.com/cQ7sCYv2XM

I can't remember the last game I saw a Baylor QB have to get up off the ground as few times as Sawyer did so on Saturday. Pass protection has been absolutely stellar lately.

---

It's what an outstanding running game gives you.

This is the most surprising thing about our turnaround for me. Watching our run game through the first half of the season, I never imagined we'd be mauling people the way we are on the ground right now.

Spav and Mason Miller (and, of course, the players involved) deserve a massive amount of credit for the improvement we've seen up front and in the running game.

That's taken us from a one-dimensional offense with a pretty explosive passing game to an elite all-around offensive unit.

A bit of an unsung hero here. Our O line has really really improved.

I love what we have with Washington and Pendergrass. They complement each other.
