An NFL defense couldn't win with this offense.

Robertson's not ready. Our defense played hard but definitely was helped by Barnes' struggles. Good qb's are going to carve us up.

Players reflect their coaches. This staff is a bunch of losers

Shapen looking better and better

I think we win this game if Shapen plays

There's a reason why a 4* was a backup on a mid standing SEC team. He's good for an interception at the most vulnerable time. We got beat by a team that had no real way to prepare for this heat and as usual Behlur sucks… again. I think I'm done for a good while

When were Baylor fans ever in favor of this type of performance?

This loss isn't on Robertson - it's on Grimes.

Funny how the heat got to baylor
The heat didn't get to Baylor. Their rookie QB did.

He wilted under pressure.

Which fan bases are okay with 0-2 and the way we have played last week and in the second half today?

The starting Miss St QB is fantastic. On paper Sawyer looked better than Shapen. Clearly he is very raw as well.

This feels like the Reedy era. We need to get something like the offensive philosophy we won a lot of games with.

Probably looks different too if Cam Rising played

You can't scheme around a liability at quarterback. And that's what we had the entire second half.

How do you blame Grimes when the QB can't hit an open receiver?

even before the holding I still felt better with 1:30 down a score than 40 down a fg

Robertson will likely be fine. He's just not ready for the bright lights yet.

The defense was great all game. They got worn down by being on the field so much in the second half. That happens when you can't get first downs.

Because his play calling was horrendous.

Dudes win games. Coaches get dudes and put them in positions to win. We have neither.

100%. i can't explain the play calling on offense or defense after we got back from half-time. it's embarrassing how yet another week the coaches put these players in a position to fail. it reminds me of the 2016 season when we won 6 games and the briles fan squad with their #CAB shirts lost 6 in a row calling the most absolute d****** games, completely different than the first 6 games. the biggest **** you to baylor i think i may have ever seen.

Aranda needs to go shopping for a new OC after this game. Grimes will sink him if he doesn't make a change. I'm sure Grimes can be serviceable somewhere else, but not here.

Whose fault is it that this is our only option?? This guy should not be on a P5 team based on today. Aranda announced Shapen and he ran off everyone else. That happens when the player believes nothing he does on the field will make a difference, see Drones vs WVU...

What play do you call for a quarterback that's throwing the ball to the other team?

His plays are always horrendous unless you're a Pollyanna
