Good coverage and tackle by Thornton. Let's make something of this stop.

I like the backspin on the KSU punter.

Two stops in a row by the D. O has got to take advantage of this great field position this time

Kansas St has the anti-Palmer Willlams as punter.

Another nice stop. The defense has settled in after that first drive. We need the offense to wake the **** up.

we've stopped them 2/3 times!

Checking the score and Daves as unprepared as ever against such mediocre comp. The dude doesn't have it.

If we're intent on forcing him to be a decent HC, make him an analyst and bring in a real DC and motivator. Pathetic and it's rubbed off on the offense. Always takes forever to get going.

At least we're only averaging one per quarter.

Washington has had terrible ball security this year. In general we as a team have not protected the ball well at all

If you're going to try and break a tackle, you better secure the ball.

Compared to the expectations we were given, simply put…. We suck.

Hallmark of bad team culture. Constant turnovers. Pretty sure we are one of the worst teams in the nation in turnover margin. Yet another indictment of coach guru

Dave's Mo… the softness and lack of execution rub off on every facet of this program. Should be 17-7 and yet this team can't get out of their own way. Pathetic

This has to be one of the most injury prone and turnover prone Baylor teams in years.

Someone needs to tell them that an interception and a fumble is not what we mean by complimentary football.

How can anyone in their right mind still defend Dave?

He has been a huge disappointment this year. Honestly thought he was one of our better running backs we've had in a long time at the end of the last year. Now I'm realizing that he's just a guy. In fact, Pendergrass might actually be better

The expectations are always high by Baylor… but we know the proof is in the pudding and the pudding tastes bad every year
