Scott talked with Bears Illustrated publisher Tim Watkins about the upcoming SMU-Baylor matchup.
Q: 1. Replacing Bryce Petty, what are expectations for Seth Russell?
TW: “Really, with the amount of talent around him, we don’t need him to be great. We need him to be good and take care of the ball. I think that’s the big question mark around him. He has got a looser running style. He fumbled the ball quite a few times. He takes some sacks. He’ll throw it deep, just like you’re used to seeing from the bears the last few years, but he forces it.
