Articles: Baylor at Oklahoma State 


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: "We're gonna do some different things in terms of emphasizing ball security at the start of practice. And then throughout practice we'll have a lot more opportunities for guys to have balls in their hands, and guys will be making attempts at it. Make a greater emphasis throughout our team periods of asking for that, and we're really demanding that. Penalty wise having really strong, at the end of the day, kind of account of who did this and who did that. Then having repercussions for that. For us to fight for that game, and then almost give that game away, is not acceptable. Our ability to limit that and just be who we can be in the most stressful competitive moments, that's the challenge. And right now what's standing in our way is penalties."


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Oklahoma State — Running Back Jaylen Warren

The Pokes' answer for the loss of Chuba Hubbard has quickly become the senior transfer from Utah State. Warren is a compact, hard runner at 5'8 - 215 pounds. He has good vision, a bag of moves, and will break tackles. In last week's win against K-State, Warren carried the ball 27 times for 123 yards and caught four passes for 81 yards, including a 52-yarder to open the game. That followed his 32 carries for 218 yards and two touchdowns the week prior in the Cowboys' escape against Boise State. After Breece Hall's recent showing at McLane, the Bears' defense better buckle up and wrap up. 

Baylor — Linebacker Matt Jones

With Terrel Bernard sidelined for an undetermined amount of time, Jones steps in to fill a more prominent role. Aranda has continued to praise Jones' playmaking ability, football instincts, and versatility. It's not all on his shoulders, of course, but his performance will have a say in the outcome.

I think this is a good matchup for us. Man coverage, aggressive defense. We will go negative a few plays, but get some explosive ones too.

Should be a fun one!

Been a long week! Last week told us Baylor can play with and beat good teams in Waco. We get a chance this team to go on the road beat a top 20 team and even more importantly establish ourselves a top the conference

In another thread recently a poster commented that we've now been ranked under 3 coaches in the last 6 years, which is super impressive.

What's more impressive is that we were also ranked under Grobe, which means we've actually been ranked under 4 coaches in just 6 years.

I think we're going to win today, but you never know about games in Stillwater. I wouldn't be surprised or super disappointed with a loss, but I expect a win.

True. I haven't forgotten that this is the stadium where the 10 yard line tackled Bryce Petty as he was running wide open toward what was about to be a sure TD. Game went downhill from there as well as Petty's chances for a trip to NY as a Heisman finalist that season.

If Tech's kicker shanks this FG attempt, we're blaming you.

And just like that we're in catch-up mode.

Well that wasn't optimal.

That drive looked rather easy for Ok State.
Jack Bauer

Very ugly start

Swiss cheese, that was EASY. LBs and and D line getting absolutely bullied

Twice already the guy (one time it was 2 guys) crashed down on a run and the entire side was open for the cut.

Their OLine is pushing out interior DLine around with ease. Our guys are gone be done before the half if that keeps happening due to bruising they'll be taking.

I hate seeing us play a 3+ yard away zone in the passing game as well.

Offense needs to march down and score as well.

Reminded me of the 1st drive by Iowa St last week. Hopefully we respond the same. But dang.

Out of position, poor tackling angles, and missed tackles. Get back soon Bernard!
