Baylor wore white to try to fool themselves that they are playing on the road, and may have a chance in a big game.

Ain't workin'...

Poor time management. We should have called timeout on Utah first down.. wed have 30 more seconds.

Ashtyn is so crafty after the catch

Throwing away the playbook and just winging it seemed to work better there.

Heck of a play by Cameron (and Sawyer kept it going for him to get open)

Damn... That was a poor throw too.. way behind him.

There is no better Baylor team than a Baylor team that gets down 17+ points

With the at least 14 points Robertson has left on the field and the missed FG, even with the terrible D, we'd be up right now 34-28.

would be 28-23 right now if we made that missed FG and if we took the points in RZ with FG.

Maybe SR is better throwing on the run than from the pocket

I think the students misunderstood what white-out meant.

Difference in the game is that Sawyer's missed overthrows have made Utah's bad pass defense not cost them as much as our bad run defense has cost us.

In case you missed the emotion on the sideline after that TD.

Nobody is better at leaving points on the field than the Baylor Bears.

I know the "what if" game is pointless...but take away the pick 6 and then you get to 21-23.

Dave says we gave up 244 yards on 2 plays?



Yes I've seen that before. I know it sounds crazy but the math works in special situations.

If we have any chance it's because:

1) they can't seem to defend our pass offense (if Sawyer can lock in second half)

2) they can't seem to complete a pass

The D getting them off the field on the opening second half drive is gonna be critical

Yes. Was trying to see if I missed what he said because he turned his head as he was saying it.

Thanks.

If it looks like the student section is emptying out, it's not. They have formed a shirtless mob in the upper deck of the horseshoe.


At Baylor that is a true whiteout

Anyone but the aggies please

We're hanging around, but I'm so tired of teetering on the edge of a blowout every single game.

Dave is so cerebral he adds up how many yards the entire team ran on the play collectively.
