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.

Disagree with taking that. Let them kick FG and move on. Need the ball back.

Why take the penalty? It was 4th and they were going to kick the FG. Losing valuable time now

Even worse. That was a run, so it's going to run 40 seconds off the clock. Should have just taken the penalty.

They're going to have a much shorter 4th than had we just ****ing declined it. They would have kicked. Now they might sneak it and ice the game.

Ok, well we've got him for at least four more years, so you need to work on your acceptance skills.

That was so ****ing stupid... They would have gone for a FG on 4th down vs pushing it. Their defense has shut us down like a HS team the last two drives so the odds where on their side.

So the 4th down call for us, 35 yards of penalties this drive against us, and we accept a penalty that doesn't help us. What the **** is going on?

It was ugly to start but we have played a close game with an undefeated ranked team on the road. I think most of us knew this would be a coin flip game.

I didn't like that 4th down decision he made to go for it at all….but I'm not ready to brand him a "not good coach" just yet.

I'm still beside myself we accepted that penalty. Aranda needs to have someone with more head coaching experience than him tell him why that was a dumbass decision. Have Teaff do it.

Dude this is still a rebuilding year. I'm still skeptical on Aranda but give him some time. But yeah these past two games have been ugly. Our offensive needs a lot of work.

If that had been our 4th illegal substitution penalty, that's gotta be an NCAA record.

Aranda deserves A LOT of blame for this loss.
