**** these refs!

Baylor was playing against the SEC, the refs, and ESPN.... tough loss, but there was never a chance against those odds.

I have never understood the thought process of so many who call Aranda a D coach. Never once has he shown any resemblance of a gread D understanding. At LSU Burrow just kept throwing TD's to overcome their leaky D.

Look at UT. Their O is a little above average but their D is what wins them games. Until the Big 12 recruits D before O this will likely always be the result.

Special teams after being solid all season was the backbreaker.

Dumb team.

Matt Jones gets bailed out.

And very next play we do the ONE thing you can't do.

Complete team with momentum vs depleted sec also-ran can't get out of its own way. , Snatching beat from jaws of compete.

Bumbled away a potential good game and potential big program win good energy, just sloppy, poor execution.

I mean… what was 88 thinking? It was the one thing you can't do there in that situation. Same with the high snap earlier.

This has been so damn frustrating to watch. Watching it it feels like our offense should be able to go toe to toe with theirs... but the results are not showing that.

You can say F this, F that, F the refs all you want to, but once again Dave's team came out flat, and it cost Baylor the game. This is nothing new

He wasn't even close to being able to
Block that punt. Why did Dave even let anyone attempt to block that punt. We had a miracle occur and Dave still blew it not having his players and coaches prepared.

Can be decent under Dave.

Will never be consistent contenders under Dave or contenders at all most likely.

No discipline.

That falls on the coaching staff and lack of preparation.

In that scenario, you DO NOT risk running into the punter.

I hate to lose, but there is nothing worse than losing a game when the refs are a major determining factor.

I hate games like this. The number of no call PIs alone is insane. Then there are the holding penalties that never get called on 3rd down conversions for the SEC teams. I really hate games like this.

The only thing we can do now is send some LSU players to the hospital... that's all we have left.

You must be drunk, we have shot ourselves in the foot on our own. 21 points one way or the other were completely our fault.

It is somewhat ironic the Baylor's glaring weakness is defense.

Pummeled, castrated, humiliated, shredded.

Got a "stellar" group coming in, a Yoda HC/"defensive guru", an OC spinoff of Leach/Briles, 20+K loyal fan base and a strong G5 returning group. Stealing words from Darrell Royal… "We're Ready".

You are not allowed to say that. We just need NFL talent across-the-board on defense, and we will be able to compete. Also, it was totally the officiating. Give the premium board 24 hours, and they'll have 10 more excuses. It should be good

I've long suspected Dave not the defensive guru the football media makes him out to be. Seems he was just on the bus with some better overall team ms but highly doubt he was ever really the man.

Let's make a TD here... and then that BS call on the TD reversal will be the determining factor for the SEC win.

Take away the inexcusable roughing the punter and we would have been down 6 with 3:28 left in the game.

Gonna be so many "what ifs" from this game

(Btw... Cameron is such a special player)

Fumbled a huge momentum game. Terrible execution all game long, poor technique discipline, totally incompetent secondary with little talent. Sawyer has been a little off lately but hopeful that next step is taken next year

90% of or snaps have been 14 inches over Sawyers head. Good thing he can jump and catch.
