Quotes of the Week

Junior Safety Devin Neal

"After a loss, there's two things a team can do: just wilt away or just come together and rebound stronger." For Neal, the formula for a rebound is simple. This team just needs to come together, humble themselves, put their heads down and get back to work with a focus. 

Junior Linebacker Matt Jones

"I take a lot of pride in our front seven. I know our run game, line us up against anyone in the nation, I have full confidence they won't be able to rush on our front seven at all." 

Head Coach Dave Aranda

"There's a quote by Robert Frost where he says, 'the best way out is always through.' And I think that along with the best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better. So, it's like, let's be honest about what just happened. And, it's hard to talk about because everyone attaches their manhood and their ego to all of it." 


Analysis of the Week

SicEm365 Analyst Travis Roeder

Baylor’s defense has been light on turnovers thus far this season, especially compared to last year. Against Albany, they understandably held back a lot of their pressures and played a rather static defense. Against BYU, they eschewed blitzes so that they could play sound against the run game and keep two safeties back against the pass. 

This is the game where I fully expect Baylor to get 2+ turnovers. If they do not, I think there will be reasonable cause for concern. Texas State had four turnovers against Nevada, and while they only had one against FIU.

Was Jackson hurt against byu ? I feel like he would've made a huge impact.

Sqwirl goofs again. Almost as if by remote control.

Graduate already…


I like Sqwirl !! Happy he's earned his shot after years battling injuries.

I'm not in the stadium today but can somebody tell me if our boys look flat? We blocked that FG (big ST play against anybody) and outside the guy who did it, we just seem like it's study hall from what I see on TV. Just wanna know if we lack energy today or what.

That was either a great read by Jackson or a perfectly called stunt play on their 3rd down.

What has happened to our OL?

Same crew as last year and Blake running for his life nonstop

This is me stunningly shocked.

Maybe we're just not used to the atmosphere being so thick in waco?

Reese is a true freshman.

How long since we had a first year running back starting? And doing well.

We knew we had forgotten about Fleeks, apparently TxSt did too.

Will be interesting to see Reese next week against a solid Iowa St run defense.

He showed good burst and aggressiveness in running both against Albany and today. He ran timidly in Provo in his few carries. Hopefully he's growing each week.. Lots of positive signs for a true freshman.

We've looked a lot better this half. Maybe the first half was a BYU hangover?

Mayer is doing our place-kicking again.

I didn't see that discussed this week after our BYU kicking woes.

Just wish he had about 25-30 more pounds of muscle mass.

Obviously won't happen this season but he has the frame to put it on by next year and I won't be surprised to see him much bulked up by then.

Outweighs Sqwirl only by 7 pounds.

And both are 5'9"

I think they spotted Sqwirl a couple pounds on the program

Exactly. Sqwirl's is a "media guide" weight.

Yeah I questioned in the game thread the next day why the all time leader in school FG percentage was on bench.

If he could retain the speed at that weight, he'd be on whole nother level

Stats and score will look stuffed. Litmus test was our good on their good when everyone was fresh. Most of the damage done after they tired out.

Underwhelmed. But hopefully this team will grow.

Grimes is what he is. May limit our ceiling consistently but will be competitive. Just better decision making and he could be elite but he's shown no ability to not get eat up with it a lot so far after 17 or so games
DanaDane

All of the 1st window TV games are basically blowouts. Boring day for the start of college football.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, and if Sqwirl goes to a NFL Combine, his media quide height and weight will drop about 2 inches in height and 10 lbs in weight, like so many do. It's common practice and has been for years.
Doc Holliday
How long do you want to ignore this user?
This team has its moments. I expect 8 wins.

I'm looking at this season as way for the program to lay some really good foundations that will pay off in a couple of seasons.
