Offense finally had a little snarl to them. Too bad it took over a quarter to get there but I'll take it.

The offense is really good and moving the ball at will but their execution and detail isn't quite there.

Forget Dave and show some fire and focus.

Great pass sawdog

That was a beautiful, on the money, spiral exactly where you put it to lead the receiver forward.

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.


Says fans of every team. I think Iowa St. Just lost both of its starting cornerbacks for the season

I've got to give the defense credit. Since K-State's scripted drive, they've done almost nothing.

You can't allow Johnson to escape there on third down. That's what we do entirely too much.

The stop was right there for the taking and we couldn't get him down.

if the D doesn't promptly give up a score here I might start feeling cautiously optimistic

And we give up a score…..

A field goal's not the end of the world, but it would have been really nice to keep them off the board. The key is to get the lead to two scores. Do that, and you probably win.

4:23 is plenty of time to go into halftime leading 17-10.

Had the chance on that third-down play and couldn't get home on the blitz.

And we get the ball out of halftime. We need to sandwich halftime with touchdowns to take control of this game.

We've got to get more on first downs. We're consistently playing behind the chains. We need to fix that in the second half.

Cincinnati is way better than I thought they were. That's a good football team.

Sure glad we were able to grab Wilson out of the portal. He's been an awesome pickup.

He and Prentice have both been big pickups.

Trigg just made himself a high-round draft pick with the tape on that drive.
