It's time to BEAR DOWN. Baylor football is starting to look like a very interesting team, and Noah is breaking down the biggest takeaways from the Bears' latest performance, including his current feelings on Dave Aranda, Baylor's defense, the offense and what this team could look like moving forward. Baylor has poured significant money and attention into its defense, and it's starting to show. The Bears are doing DEFENSE STUFF with 15 sacks, 36 tackles for loss and 7 forced turnovers. Pro Football Network also has Baylor's secondary among the highest-rated units in the country. Is this exactly the type of Baylor football team Dave Aranda wants to build? But there's one massive problem that continues to show up: The run game. Noah takes a closer look at the Baylor offense, including the offensive line and running backs. Baylor isn't consistently getting enough push up front, and the run game isn't creating enough yards after contact. Is the Baylor offensive line and rushing attack the biggest thing holding this team back? Plus, Noah reacts to the latest Baylor fan response, breaks down where Baylor football actually stands right now and looks ahead to the Baylor vs Arizona State matchup and what to expect from Arizona State football. And, of course, it's time for the POSTGAME AWARDS. Whether you're following Baylor football, the Big 12, Dave Aranda and the Baylor defense or looking for a Baylor football postgame reaction, Noah breaks down what's happening with the Bears, what's working, what's not and what comes next.

Oh boy... Baylor beat Colorado 23-13 in the throwback uniforms, but why are fans frustrated by a victory? Noah takes a deep dive into the game and why fans have good reason to be upset despite walking away with a victory. DJ Lagway wasn't super impressive despite the defense being on fire. It all boils down to the big question everyone's asking: what's going to happen with Dave Aranda? Then, Lance (1/2 of The Boys) joins to give the fan perspective on the team and how he's feeling about this team after the win. What's next for Baylor? Are you encouraged by this win?

Coach PRIME is coming to town, but are the Baylor Bears actually ready for the challenge? Noah takes a deep dive into the key storylines for this game for both Colorado and Baylor to figure out why this is the most important game of the season for both of these teams. Colorado has the chance to right the ship after a shaky week in Boulder and Baylor has the chance to prove they are here to make some noise in the Big 12 (in some SWEET uniforms). Noah then takes a deep dive into why Colorado could be dangerous this weekend and how the point spread could be a liar. He ends with his weekly Six Packer and rides off into the sunset. https://x.com/noah_torr1 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@noah.torr YouTube: https://youtube.com/@noahtorr?si=il-CX_jEMaWX7Teb

Baylor Football just squeaked out a messy win, but what does it actually tell us about Dave Aranda and where this program is headed? In this episode Noah and Matthew break down Aranda's postgame comments, the offense's high's and low's and the biggest bright spots: Nate Bennett's emergence, a deep receiver room, and defensive flashes worth watching. Then they get into the hard stuff: a shaky offensive line, red-zone execution issues, and a now questionable D-Line? They also ask the questions Baylor fans should be asking: Why doesn't McLane Stadium feel like a real home-field advantage? Is it too early to panic on Aranda?
