Two red zone turnovers already.

This feels just like the Arizona State game.

We're ****ting down our leg and wasting stops. It's only a matter of time before the defensive dam breaks.

Agreed. The worse thing you can do is fumble the ball. I'd take a running back half as good as he is who doesn't fumble the ball, based on how good the rest of the offense skill players are.

Another good stop. The defense has answered the bell today. The offense ... has not.

The D is doing its job now. Hopefully we'll be able to hold on the ball when the O comes out.

We're at home, almost halfway through the second quarter, and we're losing to the worst K-state team in years.

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


The S&C seems pretty poor as expected with Daves program. All the best players on the team are hobbled. Don't see another program in the country quite like it.

Who woulda thought our defense would come up with two huge stops to make up for two turnovers.

Still missing points though.

Feels just like the Arizona State game.

The problem is our defense will probably start sucking as soon as the offense decides to show up.

Lol..

Y'all must think we're Georgia or Texas who are 3 deep in every position.

We ain't sitting Washington.. unless he's banged up which he is..or Cameron when he fumbled twice.

If the O doesn't score here, this is looking like a carbon copy of ASU game. D actually playing well sans the opening drive, with the offense continually shooting themselves in the foot

Hopefully that fumble makes B-Wash mad. That was a nice, angry run there.

Any time we get the ball, I'm just gonna tell Spav to run the Prentice play. It always seems to work for a TD!

Defense has settled in now. Forced three punts in a row.
Looks like Sawyer has settled in too. We needed that TD!

Inevitable eventually
ESPN+ is worth the fee if you want to watch Big 12 sports, especially if you watch basketball, etc.
