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.

Our pass defense with these zones that have huge holds is definitely not the play… we can't get to Thompson quick enough and he continues to have wide open guys with 2-3 bears around them, but not close enough.

Welp. That should be enough for them the way the offense is playing.

Grimes - look at what Texas just did. Took 6:30 off the clock and they ran the ball.

Too easy

Offenses are unstoppable if holding doesn't get called.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

Must respond here. No score, no hope. Ebner run back.

Field goals aren't going to do us any good. Answer with 7.

Kind of play you lose games on.

Basically, Texas got the ball at the start of both half thanks to Gerry's first interception. Scored touchdowns on both posessions.

Haven't really seen any penalties on either side aside from blantantly obvious stuff (false start, delay of game, knocking helmet off guys head). It's weird.

This isn't holding? OL is not in front of his man and has his arm across him. A 10 years penalty there would have been helpful.

Texas OL is holding every play.

Aranda wants a green team. Most other successful coaches want an experienced, superior team.

Looks like a little more zip on the ball

This is the one I'm upset about. Such a critics play and no call on a call a blind person could have made.

Bohanon not looking like Bohanon between the ears today. Is he nervous?

Man that 4th down call was ballsy. Just need the defense to actually bow up.

That's why it wasn't called

We should be up 2 scores anyway so we don't have to fret about calls like that anyway. We know the drill. We're baylor

Only works when Bohanon reads it correctly and actually keeps the ball. He has unfortunately not held it on times when the DE crashes and it looks like an awful play call when really it's just a bad read.
