“Warming the Bench” blog: Panic time in Waco?

How concerned should Baylor fans be about Seth Russell’s injury?

Well, it’s always bad when the starting quarterback goes down. He is the starter for a reason. He also has the reps, rapport and timing down with the offensive weapons. That is something a backup simply doesn’t have, by no fault of his own.

I do not, however, think Baylor fans should press the panic button quite yet. Art Briles is a masterful coach and he is prepared every year for a situation like this.

Jarrett Stidham is the next man up at quarterback for Baylor.
