Trigg is super talented, but he just looks completely disinterested sometimes.

That's going to hurt his draft stock.

The last two games, he's spent way more time whining and loafing than making plays.

Teams mirroring each other.

A 3:40 TD drive would be nice.

Why would Arizona ever punt?

Last year our Scoring Defense was 81st in the country.

This year we are 119th and will probably dropping even further after this game.

We've actually gotten demonstrably worse with Dave calling the D.

Crap. I thought he'd lost his mind and decided to punt but now looks like he's going for it.

He called the defense last year, too.

But it's fallen right back to Powledge levels this season.

OK, scratch that.

Risky move, paid off for the cats.

Now if Arizona can not score too fast they will get the ball back in the second half.

Not good. Need a turnover.

We either give up yards or get flagged...nothing in between

I hate this version of Baylor football. I think Linda Lou needs to look up the definition of mediocrity

DL never put their hands on throwing lanes. They just ram into their blocker

Combine that with one of the worst defenses in FBS and it's a miracle we've won 5 games.
