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

on top of his ability to extend plays. Glad we got the jump on them early.

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

Captain Stubing

9/30/24 8:51am

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

fulano

9/30/24 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

9/30/24 8:55am

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

TempeCoug

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

fulano

9/30/24 8:59am

Ryan Hancock agrees with you.

Soy Celeste

9/30/24 8:59am

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

fulano

9/30/24 9:00am

As does everyone that watched Jake Heaps regularly

NYC and Japan

9/30/24 11:10am

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

Soy Celeste

9/30/24 12:11pm

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

NYC and Japan

9/30/24 12:23pm

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

cougfan03

9/30/24 9:02am

This is a big issue with NIL, it’s like a 1st rd qb, they’re going to be given

palangi

9/30/24 9:22am

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

rad dawg

9/30/24 9:04am

Also pretty pedestrian vs. Colorado

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 12:01pm

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

molodyets

9/30/24 11:21am

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

SWKTNative

9/30/24 8:55am

yeah they were. Holding on every pass play though.

fulano

9/30/24 8:56am

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

ochobeeguy

9/30/24 8:59am

But only MWC refs call it

Huge Manatee

9/30/24 9:00am

I hate those MWC refs

ochobeeguy

9/30/24 9:02am

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

NYC and Japan

9/30/24 11:12am

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

I'mBatman

9/30/24 9:17am

Rollouts helped him a lot too

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 12:01pm

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

Big12Yfan

9/30/24 8:55am

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

Wife_Apologist

9/30/24 8:56am

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

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

9/30/24 9:08am

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

The Y's Insider

9/30/24 9:14am

That one 4th down catch on the sideline was outstanding

I'mBatman

9/30/24 9:17am

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

Captain Stubing

9/30/24 9:51am

Baylor WR’s were lights out…

Refugee

9/30/24 10:22am

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

Brandoblueblood

9/30/24 10:40am

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

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 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

9/30/24 10:56am

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

puntersarepeople

9/30/24 11:51am

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

DazeofBlue

9/30/24 11:53am

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

Cooouuugs

9/30/24 11:49am

I was impressed.

IronPotato

9/30/24 11:55am

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

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 12:00pm

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

molodyets

9/30/24 12:08pm

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

SoBlueitHurts

9/30/24 12:44pm

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

MaximusMeridius

9/30/24 3:07pm

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

palangi

9/30/24 3:21pm

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