Articles: Baylor vs. Texas


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “Starting fast is way important. If you look at their first quarter and their second quarter. It might be two to one on what's happening on the third and fourth. I'm sure they're spending a lot of time trying to get all those numbers up. One of the things that stands out about them is that they jump on you fast. It's big plays generally. There is a there is a wave that you have to withstand. For us, early games, starting fast being on being on our P's and Q's eyes, where they need to be. Answering and finishing drives on offense, being aggressive on special teams, and matching in intensity. All that from the get go is going to be way important. I see aggressiveness when I put on the film and watch Texas. I hope they see that from us. It'll make for an entertaining matchup.”


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Texas — Running Back Bijan Robinson

The dynamic superstar in Austin, Robinson is a dual-threat runner and receiver, totaling 13 touchdowns and over 1,100 yards of offense through 7 games. At 924 yards rushing, it's not a question of if he crosses the 1,000-yard mark this weekend in Waco; it's a question of by how much. In addition, Robinson hasn't fumbled a single time this season and scores in some fashion at least once per outing. A true game-breaker, he will get at least 20 carries and a couple of passes thrown his way at a minimum.  

Baylor — Running Back Abram Smith

Smith and Trestan Ebner go hand in hand regarding the Bears' running attack. Both will be key every week. However, I found Aranda's comments about breaking tendencies coming off of the bye week interesting. For Smith, that would mean more opportunities to catch balls out of the backfield. Most of all, though, given the role physicality typically plays in this series, the West Texas native is the right kind of guy to set the tone in Waco early and often.

Don't know if the ball got hit or not but Gerry certainly did get hit while throwing off of his back foot.

Pretty bad half against a pretty bad Texas team.

Aranda coaching like he can press the reset button on the playstation


The whole gawddamned team spent an entire week playing PlayStation instead of working, thinking they'd fix shyte in 2 days.

It SHOWS!!!!!

No work ethic at all.

2nd quarter was the only quarter this year we didn't score outside of the 1st and 2nd quarters @OkSt.

I keep seeing receivers running wide open. I'm concerned on both sides of the ball

Wondering if JT Woods could have scored if he had not run into his blocker...

Yeah a Hail Mary to the 5 yard line is rather pointless.


Throwin hail Mary's off back foot not usually a recipe for success

Is the wind a factor today? Those passes from Gerry in Q2 did not look like what we've been seeing this year?

Coverage from secondary has been soft or incredibly late from a reaction standpoint overall… two broken coverages as well. We appear to sell out on the run and when we blitz we don't get close and are moved by the Texas line to give a wide open field for a QB run… thankfully he's on tucked it to run twice.

Offense has been quite sad from a play calling and GB performance so far unfortunately. Gotta hope some adjustments are made.

Being down 4 when it should be 21+ is only win from the first half.

Would love to see some front 4 pressure.

How long we gonna let Texas jump 8-10 yard routes before we take it deep every now and then?

I'm seriously wondering if Gerry is playing with an injury. The zip hasn't been there on any of his balls.

He was slow to get up after one of his scrambles before the second pick.

The team goes as far as Bohanon takes them. It hasn't been a good day for him so far. 1 INT all season and 2 so far today, both completely on the QB. Texas has been able to get critical run stops and just taunting Gerry to beat them. So far he hasnt.

Lotsa UT drama on 4th and 1 for a simple carry.

Should have been huge. But no. Our holes are huge.

Unless our O looks a lot different this half it feels like a UT TD here would be too tall a hill to climb

UT is doing as they want on us and we have nothing showing we aren't as good as we thought

I understand the tick tack ones don't get called. This was hands out stretched and pulling jersey in the open. On a critical play that's inexcusable
