It’s beginning to look a lot like football season.
After losing spring practices due to the pandemic and going through walk-throughs and organized team activities late in the summer, Baylor football is finally putting on the pads and preparing for their first opponent: Louisiana Tech on Sept. 12 at McLane Stadium.
Head coach Dave Aranda said while the team had some energetic practice and walk-throughs with just helmets on, there’s a freedom to finally donning the pads.
“I think when you put the pads on it allows our guard on a counter play to kind of be himself and do what he does,” Aranda said.
