“We’re an attacking offense that runs a few plays a lot of ways — more misdirection than anybody in the country,” senior wide receiver Tyquan Thornton said in a press conference on Aug. 10.
That’s the kind of offense new Baylor offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes wants the Bears to have. Coming from Brigham Young University after winning the 2020 Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach, Grimes is known for his belief in the wide zone offensive scheme.
“Coach Grimes, his emphasis on wide zone and the play action is like something I’ve never seen before,” junior quarterback Gerry Bohanon said.
