Finn got to protect his receivers if he can't do anything else. Games too fast for him.

Finn put his receiver in a position to get hammered.
That wasn't on Finn. He put the throw in the only window there was. Just a cheap ass, illegal hit on a defensive player.

First half thought:

1. Can we get our money back on this hot shot QB
2. Give the money to our punter
3. Our offensive line is very offensive, porous & bad
4. How did we beat Tarleton State?
5. How many For Sale signs will be posted on Aranda's front yard by daybreak
6. Any chance we can get Patterson back
7. BIG DREAM CAN WE GET COACH BRILES.

Otherwise expect football stadium to be turned into pickle ball courts.

17 total yards in the first half. Terrible.
Still a vast improvement over the first quarter.

I guess we can take a bit of solace in knowing that 13 of Utah's points essentially came off turnovers.

That's a statement in how bad the first quarter was. And yet we have momentum and have the ball to start Q3. There is some hope.

In a game where we have no margin for error we basically gifted them 13 points with the QB fumble near our goal line and blocked FG return.

Maybe Big 10 or SEC? OK, OK, just a thought.

In the last two years can you actually hang your hat on one where we looked like it was a "season changer"? Reality was False Hope. Aranda needed to go some time ago, he didn't, so we put on an optimistic face knowing full well what reality was.

Sawyer seems like a pro style QB, who needs to work out of the pocket. He's got talent. There's no proof that there is a pocket so far so maybe see what he can do next week.

Winning the game seems highly unlikely, so find out what you have at qb. At least learn something out of this game that may help moving foward.

This is the price for overreacting to one season and giving him an extension. Now we tied up financially and football is not important enough for Baylor higher ups to care

If Dequan can't keep drives going with his running then no reason not to go to Sawyer. With the ejection they are down 2 of their opening day DBs. Go with the better arm.

Kudos to the defense after the first drive. Absent the fumble and blocked FG, the defense gave up 10. Not bad.

The only thing that gives Baylor even a slight chance the rest of the way is that Rising might have broken his hand.

Without him, their offense goes back to last year's product. If we can do anything at all the offensive end, we could put a lot of pressure on this freshman backup.

But that's a massive, massive if.

Speaking of who, they have 3 linebackers out indefinitely now. They might have to fatten someone up to fill the slot

Agreed. That group deserves a lot of credit. This game could legitimately be 35-0 or 42-0 right now.

Defense is definitely playing far better than the offense, at least after the first drive. But offense is handing the ball back to Utah without much of a fight.

What argument could Aranda make for not making a change at QB? If I'm a defensive player, I want to know what are you going to do to help your side of the ball. How can Aranda or Spavs justify NOT making a change?
