e time outside Moody Library asking the basic football questions to Baylor students about the 2012 football season

The Bears enter the 2012 season with a notion to prove itself.

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.

While the volleyball team basks in the rays of Hawaii, the Lady Bears soccer team remains in Waco, looking to bounce back from its 2-1 overtime loss to No. 11 Long Beach State, at 7 p.m. today against Nebraska.

The Bears are in Honolulu this weekend for the Hawaiian Airlines Wahine Volleyball Classic.

Entrance to this tournament is invitation only, something Barnes said the program had to deny in the past.

“I’m glad we got another invitation,” Barnes said. “This is a great tournament to be in.”

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.
