The Baylor Lariat: BU football begins practice for fall

By Chris Derrett
Editor in Chief

Baylor football went back to work Thursday, and it was hot outside.

Big deal.

That seemed to be the team’s collective sentiment, at least about the weather. Regardless of the triple-digit temperatures, the Bears were thrilled to hold their first team practice Thursday and prepare for the 2011 season, which starts with a Sept. 4 ESPN matchup in Waco against No. 14 ranked TCU.

An excited Robert Griffin III even cracked a few jokes about the inevitable heat before taking the field.

“It’s going to be hot; we’re going to sweat a lot. I’m going to get five shades darker, but I’m willing to do that for the team,” the junior quarterback said. ...

Sept. 4?

I hope Briles has 'em wearing shorts in the gym to avoid the heat.

Sept. 4?

Funny that the first TCU fan to read this story notices an error missed by the Lariat's editor-in-chief.

Depth chart at BU looks slim, especially without Gordon. Look for a lot of the incoming freshmen to fill in the gaps including at RB at WR.

Apparently, from the above chart, Baylor will run the 4-2-4 on defense. Very confident to play with just 10 players. Does help with depth, I suppose.

Not sure, but maybe you should look again: DE DT NG DE, WLB MLB, NB CB DS CS CB

Anyone seriously think Gordon won't play Vs. TCU?

Will be interesting to watch. My guess is if he isn't back next week he won't be in the TCU game, but just a guess.
