What an exciting year for Baylor football! The Guy Morris era is dead and the Art Briles era is just dawning. Coach Briles was hired this time last year from Houston and brought with him a new attitude and a play maker that goes by the name of Robert Griffin. As the youngest quarterback in the NCAA Griffin finished his freshman campaign by being named to the Freshmen All-American team and is already being mentioned for next year's Heisman watch list. Griffin led an electrifying triple option zone-read offense that was anchored by a very talented O-Line.
Briles came in saying that he would return Baylor's run game and that he did by doubling the team's run production in just his first year. The year was highlighted by wins against Iowa State and a very dominating win over Texas A&M. Baylor's record could easily be flipped if this young team could have pulled off close losses against Nebraska (32-20), Missouri (31-28), Texas Tech and Connecticut. Baylor has proved they are on the rise and that has been evident in recent recruiting. With the building of the brand new Highers Athletic Facility Baylor now has the facilities that can compete with any school in the nation. I will talk about what Baylor football has to look forward to next season and recruiting in a later blog. Next up...Nebraska.
