Since almost everyone watches the football games that would read this, I’m going to switch to offering a list of takes on Baylor’s 38-24 win.
1) Dave Aranda’s aggressiveness is correct:
The key factor in deciding if Dave Aranda’s too aggressive on fourth down—or in other spots—is deciding how the situation changes if he adopts a more conservative mindset. The reality is that if he’s not aggressive, Baylor’s never in the spot the “play more conservatively” folks want.
On 4th and 6 from the Baylor 43, Aranda goes for it. The Bears gain 20 yards.
