After last year’s fairy tale season with Heisman trophy winner Robert Griffin III, Baylor looks to make sure this season does not do a Humpty Dumpty fall.
For Baylor football, there is no preseason.
Every snap counts.
“The difference between college, high school football and professional football is that with high school you get scrimmages, with NFL you get preseason games, but with college they blow the whistle and it’s real,” Baylor head coach Art Briles said.

When the Freeh Report was released, Judge Louis Freeh blamed Penn State’s cover-up partly on the fact that the school had valued winning football games over the safety of innocent children.
Last season was arguably the greatest football season Baylor has ever known.
As far as individual awards go, Robert Griffin III claimed the most prestigious award in all of college football, the Heisman Trophy.
The million-dollar question, though, is whether or not Baylor can build on last season’s momentum with the loss of RG3.
Scoring is hard in soccer. If it were easy, more games would have football scores. Junior defender Kat Ludlow has made scoring a habit recently.
She has recorded two goals in four games despite playing defense.
Her key is to execute on set pieces.

Baylor’s men’s rugby club is in the Allied Rugby Conference, but it belonged to a different conference in 2011.
Last year, the Baylor rugby club was in the Southwest Rugby Conference.
However, Baylor remains on the Southwest schedule, and the league still considers Baylor a member.
Baylor, along with Texas and Sam Houston State, left the Southwest this offseason for the Allied Rugby Conference.
Texas’ and Sam Houston’s resignations from the Southwest were approved by the league, while Baylor’s was not.
Baylor volleyball’s current class of freshmen was rated as the No. 16 recruiting class in the nation by to Prepvolleyball.com.
With the infusion of freshman talent, the team needs veteran leadership to guide it through the grueling season.
Senior setter Kate Harris is the backbone of the team, and the team relies on Harris for her leadership and inspiration.
“She’s the heart and soul of this team,” Baylor head coach Jim Barnes said. “Hard work is her middle name. She’s always the first to practice and the last to leave.”
I would like to imagine that when people see the University of Texas ranked No. 15 in the country, they laugh, roll their eyes and throw away whatever news source gave them such a standing.
They lost to every ranked team they played and then also lost to Missouri, finished the Big 12 season 4-5 and nearly missed bowl eligibility for the second year in a row.
I know its defense was pretty good, but it was this same defense that gave up 55 points to Oklahoma, 38 to Oklahoma State at home and 48 to Baylor in the rain.

Let’s go on a road trip.
We’re going to start out taking a break for two days before heading to Nebraska.
After that, we will go to Denver and then to Zion.
We like it so much there that we stay for four days before traveling back to Nebraska and staying there for two days.
Do you know where we end up in this road trip game?
Neither do the New York Jets…
The Baylor volleyball team entered the Fairfield Inn North Baylor Classic with inexperience and questions. After going undefeated in three matches while playing as many as five freshmen at one time, Baylor volleyball has a platform of optimism to build from.
With his recent success against the Texas Rangers, Cole De Vries was glad he got a second chance to face the top-scoring team in the majors.

After an unprecedented year of athletic success, current and former Baylor student-athletes hauled in a number of prestigious awards this summer.
On July 11, at the ESPY awards in Los Angeles, Heisman trophy winning quarterback Robert Griffin III was given “Best College Male Athlete.”

In the Las Vegas Summer League, Acy played just two games and averaged 6 points and 5 rebounds.
For the last two seasons, the Baylor volleyball team has made it to the NCAA tournament.
The incoming freshman class is ranked as the No. 16 recruiting class nationally.

Senior forward Dana Larsen is the true embodiment of the word “student-athlete.” She is a talent to be envied on and off the field, and her teammates look up to her for it.
The team’s leading scorer is poised for another successful year on and off the field.
“Most people don’t know all of her accomplishments, but she is a brainiac as well as a soccer stud,” junior midfielder Alex Klein said.
Larsen is a biochemistry major who has been named to multiple all-academic teams and is on the Dean’s list.
“School has always been super important to me from high school all the way up. To me, being a student-athlete is a privilege. You’ve got to do the schoolwork to get it done,” Larsen said.
