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.”

Kendall is such a subpar play caller. Coco and the entire offensive personnel last year made him look better than he really is

WVU gets a sack on UT's 3rd down. Gets the ball back.

Before his injury, he was winning awards for his accuracy. Very, very sad situation

We are a great running team and we decide to pass ink traffic on the 1yd line. Brilliant

Well and having Art look over his every move helped him... KB wasn't ready for OC/play caller when Monty left. True nepotism

Not sure I even blame Seth on the pick...one man route to the short side of the field with no outlet to throw it away, since the other receivers were blocking. Just so bad...OU wasn't even heavy in the box.

I read on the Bleacher Report a few minutes ago that Taylor Young was out for today's game. Have no idea why.

Put Smith in.

He needs the reps no matter what team he's playing for next year.

We just look inept. I think the guys are playing hard, but we just don't have "it" anymore.

Has Zach Smith gotten any significant playing time this year? That needs to change

They have absolutely nothing to play for. Not the coaches, or the school who they feel doesn't back them. Fanbase is divided as well.

I'd give Seth a couple more possessions. See if he can throw the ball accurately. If not, I'd put in Smith.

We are definitely playing hard but we just don't have the size and experience on the line.

Nothing meaningful. Should have redshirted him if we weren't going to ever really use him.

I like what I see from Hunt (90) and Williams (38). Smith always brings good effort (56).

not sure if anybody has said this yet, but without Art, Seth is simply not good. he's a gimmick QB.

And when we use him we call 2 pass plays for him and runs the rest of the way.


There's Chance Waz again having no idea where he should be.

I feel bad for Grobe.

As soon as the decision was made to fire, CAB we should've just cleaned house.

Chuckling to myself imagining Stidham sitting out this year to follow KB to some tier 3 SEC school and then having 3 years of ****ty offensive coaching.l and barely making one bowl game.

No team in the history of college ball save maybe the U has had this much negativity against them nationwide
