No. 8 Baylor (9-2) will host Texas Tech (6-5) at McLane Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the final regular season for the Bears in 2021. 


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “Defensively, we're just gonna be careful just with our signals. But outside of that it’s the opponent that's right in front of us. It's the things that we put on tape. Offensively, Tech has shown that they're interested in opponent film, and if there's weaknesses, they attack it, and if there's things that have hurt you in the past, they notice it. That's a big part going into this game. I think continuing to block out the noise and keep the outside on the outside and focus on developing the inside and controlling the stuff you can control. That's a further test with all that this week. Our ability to take the next step as the defense is doing that consistently. Right? It’s not relying on externals and so I see that as really being the focus.”


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Texas Tech — Wide Receiver Erik Ezukanma

Without a doubt, Tech's biggest star and playmaker, especially on offense. Although his team-leading 691 yards and 4 touchdowns receiving aren't eye-popping stats, you have to consider he's played with three different starting quarterbacks and two different head coaches this season. The junior from Fort Worth also has nine carries for 114 yards and two scores over Tech's last six contests. 

Baylor — Quarterback Blake Shapen

I think we're all anticipating Shapen being the starter on Saturday, and if that's the case, he got one heck of a warmup run last week against Kansas State. He shouldn't need to be Superman with the talent around him and the defense he's facing, which ranks middle or towards the bottom in most Big 12 categories. I think we'll see a confident quarterback ready to take advantage of an ample opportunity on Saturday. Protect the football, be your 1/11th, and let the rest take care of itself.

I guess I just don't understand why you blitz with a 10 pt lead. At this point should they not be keeping everything in front of them. That would not happen if they did. I don't know but that just seems logical.

Their poached coach. That's how

No we just had everyone covered but their TE, he was the dump off, probably 3rd or 4th in the progression. Totally failed to take account of him. That's on the safeties/outside linebacker.


Huh? That play was designed for him. Did you not see all the blockers out front?

We didn't even try on that play there wasn't anybody within about 20 yards of him when he caught the ****ing ball.


It's because we blitzed. Do you watch football?

I am afraid this is going to come down to our defense making the big play.

But after watching the replay. I retract my statement. He turned around almost immediately to look for the ball.

Yes and I actually played it when you blitz hard to one side you don't leave one man to take on three blockers which means somebody else ****ed something up. Which would have been one of the linebackers.

Even the replay showed it was partially a broken coverage due to the blitz. Our main 3 DBs were on the high side, which left a linebacker staying to that high side as well when he should have been on the low end due to the blitz.

I'd have to watch it again, but the first time it looked like we didn't have anyone on that entire side of the field.

Hoping the Tech defense is tired after a long 14 play drive, then short rest with Tech offense.

I know Abram is over 100 yards for the day, but he has had to earn them. He's had a number of short runs

For a guy that has made all the right decisions so far, that was a really poor one by Shapen. Hope he's okay
