their opportunity instead of needing to earn it or even prove it in practice. In this case it may have cost Aranda his job

That Baylor QB was the best we have played all year. Utah was lucky to play his

Captain Stubing

he was way better than I was expecting, having not watched many of their plays

fulano

Sep 30, 8:53am

To that point, it’s a total indictment of the Baylor coaching staff that he

sometimes a guy is a gamer and it doesn't show in practice

fulano

True but I think that’s the exception rather than the rule.

Games are another level of intensity that you can't simulate even in scrimmages

fulano

Sep 30, 8:59am

Ryan Hancock agrees with you.

Soy Celeste

perfect example. Dude's helmet didn't even sit right on his head.

As does everyone that watched Jake Heaps regularly

It was the opposite for Jake. He was reportedly a great practice player but

Soy Celeste

Yes, many players react differently to practice and games both directions

NYC and Japan

They also committed A LOT in NIL to Finn and pressure to play him because of it

Not really. He played a lot last year and wasn't good.

Also pretty pedestrian vs. Colorado

SoBlueitHurts

He played in 6 games for them last year and didn't look great.

molodyets

Sep 30, 11:21am

Yeah. Seemed like their O line was giving him time to find what he needed too,

SWKTNative

Sep 30, 8:55am

yeah they were. Holding on every pass play though.

fulano

Sep 30, 8:56am

Can't we just realize that everyone is held on every pass play by now?

But only MWC refs call it

Huge Manatee

Sep 30, 9:00am

I hate those MWC refs

ochobeeguy

Sep 30, 9:02am

Aren’t MWC refs and Big12 refs from same ref pool with Big12 having 1st choice?

NYC and Japan

Sep 30, 11:12am

The issue is that Big12 refs rarely call holding even obvious ones

Rollouts helped him a lot too

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 30, 12:01pm

BYU dropping 8 made him look good, had we pressured him like the other QB's

Agree but remember Hank Bachmeier? Seems like sometimes you get some great

Wife_Apologist

Bachmeier's thrown for like 10,000 yards in college.

I think Avery Johnson is better than he played against us. He seemed

Sep 30, 9:08am

I was impressed, but his WRs caught everything in vicinity.

The Y's Insider

Sep 30, 9:14am

That one 4th down catch on the sideline was outstanding

I'mBatman

Sep 30, 9:17am

Ya, still not sure on that last TD catch for BU. No clear evidence he was

Captain Stubing

Baylor WR’s were lights out…

Refugee

IOW Baylor can use the same excuse for losing to Utah as Utah can to AZ

Brandoblueblood

Sep 30, 10:40am

Thankfully we did not lose. Excuses for surviving are easier to swallow

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 30, 12:02pm

I mean Utah regularly uses the "but Cam Rising is hurt" to feel better.

Brandoblueblood

Cameron #34 was nails. Freshman. I would love to get a guy like that.

DazeofBlue

His HC is gonna be gone by the end of the year …

puntersarepeople

Sep 30, 11:51am

We need to make a run at him. I am contributing now to make that happen.

DazeofBlue

Sep 30, 11:53am

I think he plays just as bad or worse as Avery Johnson if game is at LES

Cooouuugs

Sep 30, 11:49am

I was impressed.

IronPotato

Sep 30, 11:55am

Umm, is he though? Or did we just make him look good?

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 30, 12:00pm

Did we make him look good or did he just throw the ball 48 times?

molodyets

Sep 30, 12:08pm

Their desperation was a huge factor for sure, and when we got pressure at the

SoBlueitHurts

He also always manages to squeak away from sacks and threw the ball away

MaximusMeridius

Sep 30, 3:07pm

Yep he missed getting out of the one intentional grounding by 1/2 yard

palangi

Unfortunately, Baylor had to face Rising, also — till they took him out for the benefit of the rest of us, anyway.
