WACO, Texas -- How did Jarrett Stidham celebrate his first victory as Baylor’s starting quarterback? He went hunting.
“I was at the deer lease all weekend,” he said. “Opening weekend.”
The national spotlight burned bright on him last Thursday night, so taking a break from it all had to feel good. He came home empty-handed this time, but that’s OK. Hunting relaxes Stidham. He doesn’t have to talk to anybody or worry about anything.
Considering three straight games against top-15 opponents are up next for Stidham and the Bears, this was his last chance for a little peace and quiet before the chaos.
