Led by freshman quarterback Zach Smith, the Baylor Bears (6-4) look to get back on track versus the Texas Tech Red Raiders (4-7) at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Friday evening at 5 p.m. CT.

Aiavion Edwards...
Elizabeth Sherman, SicEm365
“We try to keep everybody positive. It’s something that we have to do, and we have to keep pushing forward so that we can get back on track.”

“The things that go wrong are definitely correctable. It isn’t that we aren’t giving the effort. It’s just a missed assignment.”

“We’ve missed a lot of tackles. We’ve been in position a lot of the time and we haven’t made the play. We have to get off the field when we have the opportunity.”

Patrick Levels...
Elizabeth Sherman, SicEm365
“We definitely plan to get back on track. We’re going to go out there and play as hard as we can, and we’re going to figure out a way to get the win.”

“It starts at practice. You have to be all-out at practice, and what you do there will transfer to the game. We have to continue to practice hard and be more enthusiastic so that we can continue to keep the ball rolling.”



Zach Smith...
Elizabeth Sherman, SicEm365
“I’m a leader and I’m a competitor and I want to go out there and win every time. When you don’t do that and you fail, it’s tough, It’s frustrating, but you have to shake it off, move to the next game and try to go get a win.”

“It’s pretty frustrating, but being a leader, you have to shake it off and tell everybody to shake it off and clear it and just stay positive because the game is still going.”



Kyle Fuller...
SicEm365
“I think he did great for the situation that he was put in. We didn’t help that much as an offensive line. We had quite a few errors going on. The fact of the matter was he was calm the whole time. That’s one of the things that can get to a younger player. You can get hit once and the entire game is a struggle for him. I think that his calmness and his trust in us was definitely something that was really good about his performance that day. I’m sure that going forward he is going to do better.”

How about 2 unbelievable Baylor comebacks today. Just have a player's only meeting at halftime and lets do this.

Coaches have absolutely quit on this team. They can all suck it. I sincerely hope Mack gets the pleasure of firing all their asses.

I feel so bad for our players. This has to be killing them.

Are the players at least being coached up on the sidelines this week? This is hard to watch.

Pathetic. Sucks for poor Zach Smith - thrown to the wolves two weeks in a row and nothing.

Have family in town so I didn't tune in until 3:25 left in the 2nd...knew exactly what I'd find on the board when I saw the score.
Coaches have quit. BOR sucks. Defense can't play.

I really hope the optimists here were just blowing sunshine to make everybody feel better. I had/have 0 expectation that we would show up tonight. Ending this season against Tech & WVU is almost a cruel joke. We will be lucky to hold either team below 70 or score as much as 35. Too few (if any) of our players or coaches care at this point. And announcing a new coach will help the fans feel better but likely only puts the nail in the coffin for the players this season. Start getting hype about bball (like KU fans) and hope the spring holds some improvement.
This season was lost in the hearts and minds of our players somewhere between May 25th and the WSJ article.

The season was lost after we lost to UT. There was really nothing left in the tank when 12-0 disappeared. Just way too much outside stuff for a bunch of kids to handle and the coaches have been handling it poorly since game 1 with the #cab **** on their hands. It was a problem then and everyone knew it.

Yep. He's missed an entire year of coaching. Wouldn't be the worst thing to get Matt Davis, a JUCO QB and redshirt Smith but it'd be a tough sell.

Yep, no question. It was a pretty untenable situation, but we really had no choice with the timing of Briles firing.

Some may know this, not sure how public it is, but KK built a new house in Lubbock with a pool in the back and a 25 FOOT WALL around the backyard. I guess he thought that keep the snoopers away, but his neighbor has a big house with a window looking down into KK backyard.

Had Baylor committed to running their offense from opening snap of the game Zach's stat line might be like Mahomes.

Tech WR threw Arnold to the ground right in front of a ref and no call.

Don't blame the d. They didn't fail on 4th and 1 or 2 like 4 times.

The new Def Coach's first priority should be teaching our guys to look back for the ball. 7+ years of this is mind numbing.

Yep, our efense hasn't been able to get stops to keep us in the game. Offense was really bad after the initial TD, but efense hasn't done a thing all game.

No question, offense was poor but defense could've gotten stops to help out till they got going.

Hey Kendal, Tech is loading the bo and plugging the middle. Try something else

That we can't get one rushing yard against the worst rush defense in d1 is very telling

How obvious is our play calling in these situations. Up the middle 99% of the time. I've tried to give KB the benefit of the doubt but a 5th grade Pee Wee coach could predict his plays right now. Embarrassing
