Spin all you want and offer any excuse for why Baylor went 2-7. The offensive line was bad. COVID-19 made it impossible to build comradery with the team. A first year coach deserves a ton of leeway. Throw out more bad takes, but they can’t obscure the truth: Baylor should have been better this season.
They returned every major offensive piece beyond JaMycal Hasty and Denzel Mims. Yes, that duo hurts to lose. But the Bears returned Tyquan Thornton, Josh Fleeks, Charlie Brewer, Trestan Ebner and John Lovett. Bill Connelly had their offense 23rd to start the season.
