Postgame Presser: Dave Aranda Answers Questions about Season-Opening Loss to Auburn
The Baylor Football head coach met with the media after the Bears' 38-24 season-opening loss to the Auburn Tigers of the SEC.
Dave Aranda expressed disappointment with the team's performance, highlighting a lack of execution and self-sabotage. Auburn rushed for over 300 yards, with quarterback runs and match coverages causing issues. Tackling was a significant problem, and the absence of defensive player Jackie Marshall affected strategies. The offense struggled to establish the run, with Bryson Washington and Caden Knighten facing challenges. Receivers showed promise, accumulating over 200 yards after the catch. Aranda emphasized the need for improvement in tackling and overall execution, aiming to learn from the game and be better prepared for the next match.
