CT at Mercedes Benz Superdome. It will be broadcast by ESPN. BU is seeking its first-ever win season after registering the third win campaign in program history. This has been an incredibly special season, and I'm proud of the work of our student-athletes, coaches and staff. Tickets go on sale to the general public, Thursday, December This match-up between the Bulldogs and the Bears not only represents great football but also great fun.
The Bulldogs boast the nation's No. This will be the fifth all-time meeting between Georgia and Baylor — the Bulldogs won all four meetings by an average of just 6. The teams' first match-up was a decision in while the last meeting was a Georgia win in The Bulldogs also won in and in The Bears gain 20 yards. If he kicks a field goal, then sure, Baylor has three points.
But if Baylor scores, it has more points than making two field goals in that spot. Even after the pick, Baylor ended up near the spot it would be by punting offense has the ball at the So Baylor was only in a position to debate that idea—whether to kick or not—because it went for it.
You only put yourself in that spot by being aggressive. Before halftime, Aranda elected to onside kick. The Bears got it. On 4th and 1, Bohanon was unable to extend quite far enough on a sneak, and BYU took over. Once again, the Cougars did not score. Once again, going for it was the right call. The important thing is about correct systematic decisions. If a basketball coach takes more threes, sometimes his team will miss them. Last year, Aranda foolishly punted from the Texas I, and most of you, excoriated him for that decision.
Aranda quickly admitted that was wrong. Then he decided to get more aggressive. Even up at the half yard line, Aranda could have sent the field goal out to make it a three score game with left.
The Bears need to be able to gain one yard in back-to-back plays. Smith took it in to make it And anything above , while not completely out of the question, would put Aranda in strong contention for Big 12 Coach of the Year. All we can really do is the ponder the tea leaves and assess the knowns and known unknowns. Perhaps the most critical offensive takeaway from the season is that it resulted in the transfer of quarterback Charlie Brewer to Utah.
With Brewer gone, the Bears will turn to an inexperienced signal caller in either Gerry Bohanon or Jacob Zeno, who both made positive impacts for the Bears during the Big 12 Championship. Another quarterback to keep an eye on is incoming 4-star recruit, Kyron Drones. However, his effectiveness in drop-back passing situations will need to improve if he is to take full control of the starting job as he appears to struggle to read coverages and blitzes while often failing to get the ball out on time.
Drones is the wildcard in all of this. While he is more likely to redshirt than push for the starting job, his recruiting videos reveal a dual-threat QB with good improvisational skills, a big arm, and an ability to make tacklers miss in open space. For that reason, he might emerge as a dark horse for the two-deep as the season moves on.
Sneed moved from the slot to wide-out last season where he buttered his bread with out routes and, in the red zone, post routes. The Bears need Thornton to have a big bounce back this season and return to or improve upon his Another reason Baylor may look to Bohanon and his ability to run at quarterback is the departure of running back John Lovett, who transferred to Penn State after an injury limited him to just five games in The Bears will probably turn to Craig Williams, who averaged 7.
Despite questions at quarterback, receiver, and running back, the biggest thing going against the Bears ahead of the season is the questions along the offensive line. Help is on the way via transfer portal, however, particularly from guard Jacob Gall, who accompanied Grimes from BYU, where he ranked among the best guards in all of college football last season.
Dave Aranda is a defensive coach , and the pieces are there to improve on a good to fair showing last season.
