If we score late, go for two.

I don't trust this team in OT.

I thought Taylor was untouchable for Baylor. Something or other in his past. I'd take him but I believe he's a pipe dream.

The officiating has been atrocious.

It's not why we're losing, but it's definitely been one-sided.

Would have been helpful to have Trigg to along with Wilson, Hawkins and Cameron about now.
