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.”

SicEm365
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.”

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.
It's Bush's fault.

OU covered the 17.5 line in the first quarter.

TIme to look to the future. Let's put Smith in. I'll give Seth one more drive, then it's time. Seth ain't getting it done. Not that Smith will be he needs reps.

Low expectations help mitigate disappointment. We've had plenty of experience there, but it's been a while.

At least that emotional hedge is going to hit.

I said a week ago we'd lose 55-0 halfway joking, thinking we'd really lose something like 55-28, but now...

The only positive is that OU's defense is pretty bad as well, so maybe we can score, hold them, and get ball to start the 3rd and score.

Yes, the last two games have taken the expectations out of this season.

I hope our next coach recruits the hell out of defense and we can have a top 25 offense and top 25 defense instead of a top 5 offense and a top 100 defense.

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



I'd love to see what Bryce petty could do with the 2015 offensive personnel. Seth has never been the same since his injury

Trotter is one of the biggest OU fans of all time. He does a poor job of hiding it.

Serious question - why wouldn't Baylor just decline the bowl bid? I can think of a crap load of reasons to decline, and only one to accept ( keep a bowl streak alive )

At least it's funny to see the committee's consistent inconsistency. Week 1 A&M was 4th because of strength of schedule, leaving undefeated Washington out.

This week they put in Washington and their weak strength of schedule but leave OSU out (with a superior strength of schedule).

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
