To where? He didn't beat Finn.
Some days this place is delusional.
Shapin having a big day.

It's a theme as long as Dave is in charge.
Let’s Go!

I think Sawyer is obviously the better quarterback. But I'm not sure this will necessarily lead to more victories.
This is a unique game in some ways. We'll have more margin for error in games against Colorado and BYU because we'll have more possessions.

When you get in a possession-by-possession game with an option team, it can cause you to play tight. I think we're seeing that tonight.

It would be absolutely huge to get points here and again after halftime.
how do you figure? CU can score. This is our easiest game the rest of the year
Colorado isn't good. They got murdered by Nebraska last week and have seven points against a terrible Colorado State team tonight.

They may beat us. But it will be close.
hot tip, neither are we
Obviously. That's why we can lose all of those games. But we'll be in a bunch of them. Our schedule is trash this year.

I agree. He's been excellent.

Quote… reply to me.
"NO CHANCE", you say in all caps. Did he not recently lead the team to Baylor's best season in eons, if not ever? I think he's earned a firing and I have meager hopes for this season, but this is precisely the kind of shrill cry that defies the rationality called for by the OP.

I stand by my statement. BU has NO CHANCE of anything as long as DA is HC… period! There isn't a word to express it. Pathetic just doesn't do it justice. I honestly don't think BU will win a conference game.

I'm no meteorologist but it seems hot up in here.

Go Bears. Clean it up 2nd half.

Great FG kick by the way. What a leg.
Let’s Go!

Must be demoralizing for Air Force to kick our butts up and down the field and still trail at halftime.
They really didn't kick our butts on a down-to-down basis. We outgained them and averaged 6.7 yards per play to their 4.1.

The story of this game is three terrible, drive-killing fumbles. That's the **** we've got to eliminate if we're ever going to become a decent football team.

Our gassed D is going to really struggle in the winding minutes of this game.

If our O doesn't produce, AF will certainly overtake.

Turnovers aside, Baylor has 14 yards rushing, averaging 1.8 yards per carry.

There's your bigger problem right there.




Agree… The running game continues to grow as a concern

Tells us coaches still have no clue on evaluating players
I'm fully convinced you could give this exact roster to Klieman or Gundy, give them a spring training to work with them, and you would see an entirely different product on the field despite it being the same team.
Sadly, I agree.

Anytime somebody on this board prefaces their post with words like "rational" or "reasonable", they are 100% trying to pump sunshine.

That's why it's important to score here out of halftime. Get up two scores and this game changes completely.

The good news is I think we have a QB we can win some games with....the bad news is we can't seem to get out of our own way

The running game is definitely a concern. And likely will remain one all year. But if we can pass efficiently, it will open up opportunities on the ground. And Sawyer is showing some positives signs in that regard.

Reese seems to be our Designated Moonwalker. It looks like he is running forward, but he actually is moving backward.

Get Richard Reese off the field.

A breeze takes him down ... and it doesn't even have to be a stiff one.

We're wasting some great uniforms. We may not play well, but I'll be damned if we don't look good.

Good drive, maybe finally wearing down their D a bit.

I think we may finally have a dynamic running back.

Washington is that guy.

Keep Washington as well.. give him a mulligan on that earlier fumble. Showing nice footwork

That TD was huge. That should take some pressure off of us offensively. Get one more stop and score and this game is likely over.
