Lol good job Dave!


Right, Dave should have never let the receiver get behind him then rip his helmet off. Lol


He's the head coach bud

Aranda is a moron. Call TO.

He can guarantee getting the ball with 2 minutes but instead will get it with about 1 to 1:30.

How can anyone defend his knowledge.

That actually worked out OK. Got the stop without having to use a timeout.

It wasn't pretty… But that's about all we could ask from our defense. They did their job in that situation.

Perfect for Sawyer Robinson. He has the perfect amount of time to get us either a TD or FG

Knocking the guys helmet off was the best defensive play of the day by Baylor. Saved a TD, then KSU spit the bit.

I have no idea why they got so pass-happy late. Kept us in the game.

Powledge will get Aranda fired. If he doesn't he will if Powledge isn't fired after this season.

Powledge is the DC in name only. This is Aranda's defense ... and it sucks.


Dave has to be HC and effectively DC because Powledge is his DC.

In retrospect, ripping the guy's helmet off potentially saved the game.

I bet Dave Aranda-coached games are really fun to watch for everyone but Baylor fans. They almost call come down to the final possession.

Since actually stopping them without a score is out of the question I guess you're right.

Just wasting time and downs get in fog range. I have more confidence in our kicker than making a td

That was a killer because we were within running distance of field goal range.
