Art Briles, Baylor not worried about replacing 237 starts up front
WACO, Texas -- Art Briles proudly predicts Baylor is about to have its most competitive spring practices yet. And the Bears’ biggest battles will involve their big men.
Losing five offensive linemen and four defensive linemen who combined for 237 career starts is kind of a big problem, especially when you have College Football Playoff aspirations.
So why isn’t Briles panicking?
“You’ve got good depth, you’ve got good people and you’ve got good competition. It all adds up. We’ve got all three,” Briles said. “We’ve got some guys that can play that have been waiting to play. Guys that wait to play seem to be pretty anxious and hungry, and I like that. I like having a hungry football team.”
