Quotes of the Week

Senior Defensive Lineman TJ Franklin

"Definitely, we got this Gold Out thing this week. So, we're really excited for that. I know the fans and supporters are gonna bring a lot of energy with that. So that's definitely going to fuel us on the field." 

Junior Tight End Drake Dabney

"I think the main difference is just new people on the (OSU) defense. A lot of the same frontline guys, but definitely new secondary, new linebackers, but still the same fast Oklahoma State team. Lots of respect about that defense, they'll be bringing it.”

Head Coach Dave Aranda

"Yeah, I think (the defenisve backs’) confidence is increasing. And I think they're playing hard and practicing well. You look at the last week those guys had was their best week, and then they come out and play well. And so it's really cool to see, and we'd like to build on that." 

Analysis of the Week

Former Baylor QB J.J. Joe

This week will be a markedly different approach for Coach Grimes and Blake Shapen. The schedule is very similar to last year when Baylor went from playing an Iowa State defense that plays a little more bend-but-don't-break to a Cowboy defense that attacked our offense limiting the Gerry Bohannon-led offense to 280 Total yards.

Well, this Cowboy defense while under a new Defensive Coordinator Derek Mason remains an aggressive style of defense, especially on passing downs. The strength of the Cowboy defense has to be upfront. The Cowboys have a very experienced group that is highlighted by three (3) Sixth Year Seniors in Brock Martin (DE), Brendon Evers (DT), and Sione Asi (DT) plus one 5th year senior in Tyler Lacy (DE). These guys are men, I mean men. Their average age is over 24 years old. So our experienced offensive line will meet a very formidable front on Saturday.

I don't understand why OSU didn't pitch the ball back 5 yards on 1st and goal from the 1 inch mark?

Can't wait for the Grimes defenders to try and defend this garbage. Aranda really needs to focus his recruiting on skill players because this group via bottom of the B12…


They are all on the premium board, and it's one reason I canceled my subscription. I don't have time to read a bunch of 20 something year old 'experts' tell me about how we are secretly great. The premium board was seriously talking playoffs during the off-season. Playoffs. I kid you not
LMAO. you have to be the homerest of homers to use the word "playoff" with these coaches and players. im not even sure if there's a draft pick after 4.5 games on either side of the ball.

Everyone likes to complain about our fanbase's apathy when it comes to attendance, but a big reason for that is crapping the bed during big games like this one.

Going to guess the Grimes defenders and Phil Bennett defenders are a pretty similar crowd.

We just look bad. Losing is one thing, this is embarrassing especially in this heat. Whoever designed this stadium should have their ass kicked

OSt looks better than us, but this is a pretty even game. Personally, Grimes play calling has been a let down.

What's frustrating is that we are averaging 6+ yards per carry. We have had a couple of important drops and dumb play calls that ended drives. I hope we can tackle better and get a sack in the 2nd half.

On the 4th and 1 where we were stopped, why in the world would we pass the ball on 3rd down if we knew we were going on 4th down especially after averaging 6+ yards a carry. I thought after we didn't complete the 3rd down pass that we should have kicked the FG.

3 missed blocks covered and the score would be very different. The stats versus score says OSU has been able to capitalize during big moments… many on Sanders legs.

He should just give a lecture on how to upload a resume to LinkedIn and Indeed, because none of these guys are ever playing in the NFL, practice squad or otherwise

I think OSU could come out and put on 1st down every possession this half and they'd win comfortably. That's how pathetic this offense is

What will happen is that the offense will do just enough to take the lead by two points, then OSU will drive down the field and score an easy touchdown, and everyone on the premium board will talk about how crap our defense is and forget the mindblowingly terrible first half from the offense.

I hope we win more than 3 more games but the 3 wins I see at this point are WV, Kansas and Kansas State.

Anyone know the reason for our low fan attendance? Price of tickets? Heat? Uninspired fan base? Legitimately asking.
