Cameron is so strong and plays with so much effort. That effort resulted in points

Gonna be a tough guy to replace. You just don't find receivers with the ability to play that physical very often.

I've got to say I'm really surprised so far. I expected us to get steam rolled today.

Holding them to just 14 in a half feels like a miracle. That INT helped a ton.

They only had three possessions. So that's still a 66.7 percent success rate.

A lot of long, sustained drives both ways today.

I've only seen since the INT, but our play calling in the last minute just reveals how bad our coaches are.
1. 4th and inches and we run a QB sneak out of the shotgun. Sure, lets start five yards behind the line instead of as close to the line as possible. It may have worked, but it was way closer than it should have been.
2. How do you not immediately call a time out after the face mask? Robinson was letting the clock run down so far we may have run out of time.
3. With no time outs left, we throw a pass to the middle of the field. We are damn lucky 34 got out of bounds.
we do dumb things like this every week. It is so tiresome

If Baylor scores before the half they should come out with a surprise onside kick for the second half.


I don't hate this.

We are prolly giving up a TD drive whether they start at their 25 yard line or the 50.

I love Josh Cameron. We'll miss him a lot when he's gone.

They could have used the spike after first downs, as well, just kept burning clock, probably cost them three plays at least.

They just are bad at game management, as always.

Other than the opening drive PI, do they call anything on Az?

This defense is absolutely pathetic. Everyone associated with it should be looking for a new job this offseason.

Raise your hand if you didn't totally expect an AZ TD on their 1st drive of the 2nd half.

1997-2007 Baylor was pretty bad.

Even during those Dark Days, players like Khari Long gave the team some pass rush.
This 2025 team is 8794 levels below putrid.

As soon as the possession started with two gaping holes in the run game and a receiver three yards behind our defense, I knew we were in for a fun drive.

True, but the non-existent pass rush of this team is about on par with those pathetic defenses. Thus far through 10 1/2 + games our defensive linemen as a group have a grand total of three sacks for the season. Three.
