Baylor football has had a rough opening to its 2015 season. Though they are 2-0 on the field, the Bears have not had a perfect record off the field this year.
After incidents of coach and player suspensions, as well as the national attention from the Sam Ukwuachu trial, many have begun to wonder if these distractions are affecting the Bears.
Most recently, Baylor announced that starting tight end Tre’Von Armstead had been dismissed from the team for violation of team rules.
“It’s hard to remain focused [with the negative attention] but at the same time, we can’t get distracted because we have football games [to win] and we have to stay together,” said junior wide receiver Corey Coleman.
