More things of import may happen in this afternoon’s coach/player media availability, but this is definitely worthy of note:
QB Zach Smith will wear #8 jersey for remainder of season. Was told by Coach Rhule this week. #Baylor

I can hardly think of anyone more worthy of the honor after the way he’s performed the last few weeks, and apparently Coach Rhule agreed. Baylor now has all 9 single-digit numbers occupied going forward.*
*For those unfamiliar, single-digit numbers on Coach Rhule’s teams are awarded based on merit, with each player wearing one having earned it in practice, film study, on the field, etc.
