Baylor Senior QB Seth Russell...
“I’m excited for this week for sure. Regrouping is just kind of what we do. When you come out with a bad week you have to be able to sit back down and get back to basics, and I feel like the coaches said some really good things yesterday when we were watching film. We have to get back to what we do.”

Baylor Senior CB Ryan Reid...
“Senior leadership, coaching staff; we just have to remind everybody and keep everybody busy with football. We can’t keep everybody off of social media, but we can try to get them to not focus on everything that’s going on with social media.”


Elizabeth Sherman, SicEm365
Baylor Senior LB Aiavion Edwards...
“They have a great running game, and Baker Mayfield has done a great job this season. That’s going to be a big challenge for us as a defense and as a team.”
“We have to focus on the basics. We have to work on tackling this week. The tackles that we missed went into bigger plays down the line, so we have to focus more on execution.”

Seth accuracy is horrible. Who was it arguing with me this summer about that?

Platt needs to be benched. That ball was high but at some point Platt has got to make a GD play.....

Agreed.

I have no idea why we have targeted him all season on critical downs. Maybe because the defense knows he's not a threat and rolls the coverage elsewhere which lures us into thinking THIS might be the time he delivers. Reminds me of Lucy with the football and Charlie Brown.

Not sure if I'm more upset about having to watch this offense or having to watch that McConaughey swimming pool commercial every break.

One used to be extraordinary and the other has always been average.

Offense has to win this one. Defense has the toughest unit in the Big 12 opposite them

Then it is finished. Offense has been nothing special this year and that's being generous.

At least make it a fun to watch shootout like Tech did. OU's defense is ready to give up big plays. Come on offense.

Too far from a signal.

If they are scheming us to make a safety cover Westbrook, I think Waz is our best option...

Great run Seth. And running Hasty right up the middle is not going to work. Get creative Kendal..
