Sports Take: Baylor football needs to continue up-tempo offense

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

As a wise philosopher once said, “Speed. I am speed.”

Baylor football would do well to take his advice.

The Bears have faced a number of hurdles early this season, not the least of which was losing starting redshirt junior quarterback Blake Shapen to injury for multiple weeks. Offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes had to reshape a lot of the offense around redshirt sophomore backup quarterback Sawyer Robertson, but there’s one thing that doesn’t need to depend on who’s under center: pace of play.

The Bears have one of the slowest offenses in the country.
