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.

In terms of timing if he was a true option on the play he was too quick though the area, so wager he didn't think he was ever gonna touch the ball yeah.

I'd run play action here. Tell Gerry that if it's wide open, take it. If it's not, just get down in the field of play. Doesn't matter where.

Yep. Simple hamdoffs to the RBs..move forward!!!

Roll Gerry out.

Would love to see a roll out with the tight end coming on the back side with the wide receiver shifting to the opposite field... It's work twice so far, but Texas might be looking for that now.

Yes either throw if certain or run forward. No sack, no incompletion..

If Texas scores a TD they will go for 2 and you know what happens

I believe in our D but way to go Grimes. He's so good but so dumb sometimes

Why does UT get 3 timeouts? stopped time at 2:30 (commercials) and 2:18 on top of the other 2 timeouts.

They start deep ball passing…it won't be pretty for us unless Pitre gets in there.

It's one thing to trust your defense, but we basically gave up on scoring and entrusted the fate of the game to the defense.

Almost got burned on their second play, but here we are, 4th and long.

Goodness. Despite seemingly being way better, close in the end.

Still, maybe the last time we play UT for a long time. Great effort. Love this team.
