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

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

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.
