WACO, Texas – Baylor coach Jim Grobe knows he has a great senior quarterback in Seth Russell. He knows he has four quality running backs. The numbers and talent at receiver, linebacker and in the secondary still look good.
“The issues for me are in the offensive and defensive lines,” Grobe said.
Going into his first practice as the leader of the Bears on Thursday, Grobe knew the biggest on-field challenge his staff must address in August are depth concerns up front. Baylor entered fall camp with “right around” 70 scholarship players by Grobe’s count, putting the program about 15 under the 85-man limit.
