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.”

SicEm365
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.”

T Will is a warrior for being out there. I hope Shock feels like **** for letting his team down.

Jesus I'm so sick thinking about everything Seth has been through. Broken neck, now broken leg, all on top of being thrown in this situation and probably being called a rape enabler daily.

Most if not all of us know he's just not been good at all as a passer, but I think everyone of us also loves him most for the type of person and leader he is.

The first guy to step up and lead by example when **** hit the fan this off-season. The absolute last guy you want to see something like that happen to.

This team will rally behind Seth. Seth's faith will make him stronger than ever after this and he'll bring the coaches and players together through this.

If anyone tries to continue the off the field stuff after this they should be run out of Waco.

Whatever about this season. With a new coach and potential recruits/transfers, I'm very excited about these young players and their future.

Arnold, Hunt, Johnston, J. Williams, Texada on defense has me excited.

#6 sliding bailed out a way too conservative call by Bennett. Let's see Zach go score!

Smith leads it down for a score despite 150 penalties on the drive.

Yep. We have to screen them to death to keep the heat off of Smith.

If the BOR releases any more info on Fridays after all the stuff that has happened, everyone alumni should sign a petition that Baylor is against them.

These kids deserve no more of this.

I am heartbroken for Seth. For the team. If you're physically able, I hope everyone on this site makes it to Waco next week. These kids deserve it.

Will Mixon celebrate that TD by nearly ending another woman's life tonight?

Have the announcers mentioned ONCE what he did?

The fact that its seth and not mixon that snaps his leg shows that life just isn't fair.

Bad call by Bennett. 3rd and 2 and both safeties are 20 yards downfield.

That's why Stoops didn't kick out the 5star after he knocked out the female.

Sometimes life isn't fair.

The missionary breaks his neck and leg and is done for the season.

The g/f beater who punches her face gets to continue to run for touchdowns w/ OU.
