The TCU offense continuously has multiple receivers open on almost every passing play such that a random guy off the street could complete some of these passes, much less a mediocre quarterback like Josh Hoover. The TCU defensive backs are on our guys like white on rice. That's the key difference I see between these teams so far. Our most reliable receiver target is a walk on. The wide receiver room simply hasn't been properly developed under Dave

Guys just remember, basketball starts Monday against Gonzaga, then followed with Arkansas.


Who cares? Being good at basketball is like driving a corvette and thinking you're rich.

That's half! **** playcalling. Not that it would have mattered. Hankins isn't making that kick
It wasn't play-calling. Trigg dropped an easy throw and then got tackled in bounds on back-to-back plays.


Thank you, that was not coaching. DB made a nice play keeping him in bounds. Comments make it seem like we are getting blown out, finally figured out how to watch and BU does not look bad. Not getting the all negative comments

I know it's easy to trash him..but he's a kicker who'll shank an extra point and kick a 51 yarder..he's done it several times..don't be overly dramatic.

He shouldn't be on scholarship at a D1 team. He is bad

It was terrible playcalling. We had amble time on Triggs drop to use the middle of the field with the clock stopping on 1st downs.
Gaining 3 yards for a kicker who is trash makes no sense at all


I think with eight seconds left it would be too dicey to throw over the middle and try and get down and have everyone get lined back up again to spike it.

Trigg just has to get out... or better yet catch the throw before that an eight-year-old could've caught.

I can guarantee you that there are a lot of G5 and FCS kickers that are licking their chops at the chance to come to Baylor and get some of that sweet revenue sharing that was talked about. It's a business. I'm sure the dude is a nice guy, but there's got to be a better option out there

But it wouldn't have been at 11 seconds which was the play before. And they just ran the same play. There is no killer instinct on this staff or with this team.

He's average for most P4 teams.

This isn't NFL.. You can't bring the Zendejas or the Grammaticas brothers in on Monday for tryouts..they're in there 60s..were stuck with him

Aranda doesn't coach like a guy that's on the hot seat, because he knows he is not on the hot seat.

I agree with not trashing guys...it's ok to be critical though imo.

I'd rather have a kicker that is automatic on PATs and clutch from 40 in...rather than the guy that can sometimes make the bomb.

Eight seconds isn't enough time to use the middle of the field. Because it takes guys time to get open over the middle and you risk a sack.

Everyone throws to the sidelines in that situation. You need your tight end not to suck.

We should have had back-to-back 5-yard catches and a 42-yard field goal.

Nothing would have hurt. But we should have been trying to get a hell of a lot closer because he's absolute garbage outside of 40 and thats been proven

There was 11 seconds on the clock on the play trigger dropped the ball. Use the middle there and clock the ball for a much easier attempt. Granted Hankins needs to be at like the 2 yard line to have any success
Stefano DiMera
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I agree.. but we don't have that..it's not like with Finn sucking we can bring Robertson in .

Ain't nobody behind Hawkins..it was end of half .try the long FG is all I'm saying..if he misses..so what.

Houston just beat Kansas State by the way, so anybody that thinks that we've got all these easy wins on the schedule to get to that sweet 6 wins that everybody craves is a bit optimistic. This is it. Lose here, and bowl eligibility is almost certainly not happening

They may be in their 60s, but do they have any eligibility left?

FWIW: Hankins is out practicing 50 yarders into the wind. He's 1 for 2 so far.

No one has called those sure wins. They're just imminently winnable games for any decent team and good matchups for us because neither team can throw the ball.

Have we ever won in Morgantown? It's not happening with Dave as coach. It's like storming the beaches of Normandy with nothing but a super soaker and a speedo

Nice strawman. Literally no one thinks this team has any easy wins left on its schedule. But the three teams remaining on our schedule are a combined 10-15 this season. Let's stop acting like it's some sort of murderer's row.
