Because Baity has been really good. Damn good. One of the best in college football good.
According to CFB Film Room, the senior cornerback has been targeted just 20 times this season, allowing just three total receptions.
Three catches. In six games.
When you think of all the screen passes, quick curls, and backs catching balls out in the flat we see week after week in college football, it just makes that statistic even crazier. He’s not even giving up the cheap balls other corners across the nation give up without thinking twice.
To take it one step further, he has allowed zero catches on 16 targets thrown ten-plus yards downfield.
