S6E13 - From Wildcats to Horned Frogs

Travis recaps the brutal loss to Kansas State, his thoughts on the future of Blake Shapen, and previews the Bears matchup Saturday vs the undefeated TCU Horned Frogs.

1 year ago

It was a rough night in Waco for the Baylor Bears as they were unable to score a touchdown in a 31-3 beating by the Kansas State Wildcats. It was an incredible turnout in a blackout themed game for the fans, but the team wasn't able to rise to the occasion.

Travis rides solo this week and he kicks off the episode with a short, yes short, recap of the Kansas State game. He doesn't mince words as he quickly admits the Bears were flat out embarrassed at home. Travis was disappointed in the defensive gameplan to keep coming with the corner blitz and the inability to stop Deuce Vaughn. Offensively, the Bears weren't able to score a TD and ended the game with only 23 rushes, 7 of which were from Blake Shapen.

Travis then answers a few fan questions with one revolving around choosing Shapen as Baylor's starting QB this year. He answers if he thinks it was a mistake or not to ride with Blake Shapen this year and lays out the reasons behind it. Has Shapen hit his ceiling and is it time to see what we have in Drones?

Finally, Travis turns his attention to the matchup vs the undefeated TCU Horned Frogs as they visit Waco on Saturday. TCU will be the best offense the Bears have faced all year and one of the most explosive offenses in the country that has 13 TD's of over 50 yards. Baylor will have to find a way to limit Quentin Johnston and Kendre Miller as they both can score any time they touch the ball. Travis wraps up with his "Bear Necessities" and of course a game prediction.

Bear with us this week and get ready for a massive rivalry game vs TCU. It's always an exciting game when these two teams face each other and regardless of each other's records it seems to always be a close game. Baylor has a chance to avenge its loss to TCU last year that likely kept them out of the College Football Playoff and return the favor. We'll find out if they can on Saturday!
