This shouldn’t have happened. Baylor trailed 31-21 with less than nine minutes remaining. In came Charlie Brewer—a guy who didn’t practice most of the week because of a concussion. He was absolutely terrible against West Virginia. He was tasked with leading Baylor on two scoring drives. And even then, it might not have been enough.
Brewer made a nice throw to Jalen Hurd. He was spectacular today. He came to Baylor to play wide receiver and not keep destroying his body playing running back. But it’s obvious he’s special at that position. And so today he started the game at running back.
