I went to Baylor's open scrimmage today at their new athletics complex on the campus. It was a great escape from the Texas Rangers' disaster that happened last night.
The scrimmage was great to see especially considering I was about 20 feet from the field the entire time. The team as a whole seems to have a swagger with a lot of chatter on the field and the "Green" squad breaking out in song at one point.
Things I took away from the scrimmage:
No surprise but RGIII (that's Robert Griffin for the non-BU fans and pictured above in red) is simply amazing. He oozes confidence and throws amazing on the run.
Freshman Willie Jefferson (#17 in the picture) is 6-6 and looks like a basketball player. He will be an incredible red-zone target that nobody will be able to contend with in the endzone.
Junior Krys Buerck is incredibly fast. He caught several balls and no one was able to catch him once he got into open space.
Sophomore Terrance Ganaway, Houston transfer, made the lone good run of the day breaking tackles in route to a 20+ yard gain.
Last point: The Bears are going to score a ton of points this year. I know, that was a Captain Obvious moment but I am stating it nonetheless.
Thanks to my lovely wife, Amanda, for taking the pictures and sitting in the hot sun for 2 hours.
