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.”

Fellas - we got some good momentum going here - I would not be surprised if we come out and own these guys in second half - we here at the game sitting in Baylor section with the 34 other Baylor fans and this crowd for Sooners is dead no energy - D is fighting, Blake Lynch future superstar - go bears!

Baylor has to keep Lynch in the mix at RB if they want to stay in this game. He is use to running out of the backfield in the spread.

They also need to eliminate the TE out of the box and spread out OU's defense to run.

You know what I hate about basketball season starting while football is still going on?

Seeing scores like:

FSU 36, Charleston Southern 28 and thinking '***?!?!"

...oh, basketball. Nvm.

I'm just happy if they keep option running and stop throwing or awkward direct snapping

I would legit get confused when our football team put up 60 a game. Those were the days.

3 Receivers, TE and Lynch, can go down the field without subbing.
Or 5 wide/4 wide with Lynch at RB, like we did with CC two years ago in Norman.

That's right. We get the ball first in the 2nd. Not use to that.

Replay that and he hit the guy right at 3 yards. That was a 50/50 call and of course it goes against us. Shouldn't have been called.
