Kansas State prepares for unknown Baylor quarterback, again

No one knows what Baylor’s offense will look like against Kansas State on Saturday when freshman quarterback Zach Smith makes his first college start, but coach Jim Grobe is hopeful it will resemble the same system the Bears have operated all season.

“We have tried to, in practice and in the limited time we have had Zach on the field, make no difference between our quarterbacks,” Grobe said earlier this week.

Smith replaces normal Baylor starter Seth Russell, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury last week against Oklahoma.

Both quarterbacks have the talent to successfully lead Baylor’s offense, but they are different players when it comes to experience.
