‘Playing green’: No. 17 Baylor football rallies, overcomes first half woes

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

No. 17 Baylor football bounced back in a big way following its week two 26-20 road loss to No. 12 Brigham Young University. The Bears suffered from a slow start but eventually broke free toward a 42-7 blowout win over Texas State University Saturday afternoon at McLane Stadium.

One problem from the game Saturday that carried over from the BYU loss was the fact that the team wasn’t “playing green.” Head coach Dave Aranda emphasizes playing green over playing yellow or red.

“Playing green, playing fast, playing authentically, putting themselves out there and not holding back for the majority of the game,” Aranda said.
