"Aranda's specialty is the linebackers"*

Aranda's defense has to be setting a record for most QB runs for a TD on Baylor in a season. Sawyer keeps staring down receivers and throwing late

Just a wild guess, but maybe it's because we don't have any 5 star guys.

A good AD would put an end to this at year-end.

Oops.

Nevermind.

Yeah a change now means Rhoades or Jovan is making the calls. Do you want that?
