Viewpoint: RG3 can still be great

When Robert Griffin III threw a game-winning touchdown against the University of Oklahoma in November 2011, he transformed Baylor football.

That one pass took Baylor from a program that mostly resided in the doldrums of the Big 12 to a program with constant mainstream media attention.

Within the scope of one play, Griffin gained national attention for Baylor and himself.

Some would say that his dramatic finish against the Sooners is what tipped the scale in his favor for the Heisman Trophy over Andrew Luck.

Others would go even further and say that single play is what brought football to Baylor’s campus in the form of McLane Stadium.
