Please go report to the principles office.

I think they talked about consistent effort not skills.

I hope Zach does nothing but speed train this off-season. He takes off like he is wearing weights around his ankles.

I've never been so frustrated w/ announcers. These guys are not even hiding their condescending attitude towards Baylor and their unbiased opinion. All we are missing is Herbstreit for the trifecta to pile on.

Zero respect for these guys.

You're not wrong.

Baylor is winning and they're not really sure what to talk about.

Did these announcers spend the last several weeks analyzing every ESPN article of the last 6 months and marinating their hate in it..? I've never seen such blatant hate for a team...

Any idea what the twitter is for any of the announcers/production crew? I feel like I'm listening to "The View".

Yeah, only thing worse would be if Bob Ley, Paula Lavigne and Sharon Grigsby were calling the game.

He should get legit consideration for the game MVP. I know it happened in the first half, but that's a game-altering play. Awesome.

First game he has given better than C- effort since OSU... Still only has it turned on so he can improve his draft stock. He'll be a guy who only produces in contract years IMO.

It's coming guys. Mark this post. They're calling a great first half... Foot off the gas second half and we lose, a LA cotton bowl.
