Each week, we’ll grade Baylor’s position groups from the prior game. Here’s how each group performed in Baylor’s 20-13 loss to Utah.
Quarterback
Cody Orr: Back-up quarterback Sawyer Robertson had a rough outing against the stout Utah defense. At 12 for 28 for 218 yards, two interceptions, and one rushing touchdown, it’s a surprise that Pro Football Focus (PFF) graded him as well as they did with a 50.6 passer rating. Live it looked like some of the incompletions could be attributed to miscommunications with the receivers, so Robertson only deserves partial blame. Robertson also apparently injured his ankle halfway through the game, which surely affected his ability to throw the ball, but that’s just an explanation for the grade, not a reason to change the grade itself.
