Quotes of the Week

Senior Offensive Lineman Jacob Gall

"I don't think we played bad and I don't think anybody would say that we played bad. I think it's just, the difference between a good team and a great team is probably five to 10 plays. And that was kind of the difference for us is that those five to 10 plays are really going to decide the game. And when you play a good team like that, you got to be on your stuff for those five to 10 plays that you know are going to be a hard down."

Senior JACK Bryson Jackson

"I think we had an opportunity to go out there and practice this past week and we established our speed and our intentionality as far as defensive play."

Head Coach Dave Aranda

"I think underneath all of the — whether its schemes or techniques — I think there's a level of immaturity or just youth that we're really working on growing. And then I think for some of our vets, there's some complacency that we're working on getting rid of and kind of waking up from.”


Analysis of the Week

SicEm365 Analyst Sam Bradshaw

I view Morgantown similarly to the Stillwater trend: most years BU is not clearly the better team and pair that with bad luck on the years where you should win and it becomes a narrative. In 2012 and 2020 you had pretty evenly matched teams but one side of the ball let BU down. In 2018 WVU was clearly the better team while 2016 saw BU come in and almost win despite a pretty significant injury to Seth Russell. 2014 was really the only year where BU was clearly the stronger overall team and the Bears got caught unprepared for WVU to break coverage tendency and for the officials to call pass interference anytime anyone looked at a wideout wrong. 

The other years where Baylor has been more clearly the better team? 2013, 2015, 2019, and 2021 which BU went 4-0 in Waco. BU almost stole the 2017 game where WVU was a stronger overall team as well.

Could probably take care of the making love to your wife during a commercial. Get it out of the way.

Decent idea. However, my wife is schedule driven and a change this late could cause a problem. Maybe some cancellations. No what I mean?

Rolling through Akron OH looks like I'm gonna make it… barely. Sure hope I find a ticket or it'll be a giant kick in the nuts

Garbage opening drive. I have no clue how the announcers talked up Shapen and this offense without cracking up

We will need multiple turnovers in our favor for us to win this one. I honestly thought weed had been legalized in Texas this week and I just missed the announcement when I saw everyone post these blowout predictions

Just completely shredded the D. No pressure. No tackling. Wide open outs. Not a good sign.

RIGHT... apparently we miss a "rah-rah" guy like Joey McGuire who apparently made the motivational speeches.
