Baylor Senior QB Seth Russell...
“I’m excited for this week for sure. Regrouping is just kind of what we do. When you come out with a bad week you have to be able to sit back down and get back to basics, and I feel like the coaches said some really good things yesterday when we were watching film. We have to get back to what we do.”

Baylor Senior CB Ryan Reid...
“Senior leadership, coaching staff; we just have to remind everybody and keep everybody busy with football. We can’t keep everybody off of social media, but we can try to get them to not focus on everything that’s going on with social media.”


Elizabeth Sherman, SicEm365
Baylor Senior LB Aiavion Edwards...
“They have a great running game, and Baker Mayfield has done a great job this season. That’s going to be a big challenge for us as a defense and as a team.”
“We have to focus on the basics. We have to work on tackling this week. The tackles that we missed went into bigger plays down the line, so we have to focus more on execution.”

Collapse after questionable call.

They must be reading signals the way they have jumped some wr screens.

Replay that and he hit the guy right at 3 yards. That was a 50/50 call and of course it goes against us. Shouldn't have been called.
Refs have been calling it all year, at some point coaching staff and players have to be aware and adapt.

A guard getting flagged for engaging with a middle linebacker 3-4 yards up field completely takes away the option of RPO's.

If it's legit, call it. No problem.

But you get 3 yards. Blackmar was standing on the yard marker exactly 3 yards down the field.

Amazing how one ineligible lineman downfield completely changes the game.

Just heaved it up.

Black has to go for the ball and not just the tackle.

Game. Set. Match. Good effort, but moral victories were for the Guy Morriss era.

When you can just throw it up and make plays like that then you just can't overcome stuff like that.

OU now running the TCU jump ball offense.

Why do I feel like on those types of reviews for us, it takes 10 minutes and then the ball would be placed at the half yard line?

Gotta score. Still have a shot but if you throw all the time and waste chances to score it's tough

I personally agree with you, problem is someone in the Big 12 office or other schools have made it a major thing for Big 12 crews to watch this year. Especially with our offense, as I haven't really seen it called against other schools that have RPO in offense.
