College football fans often use the promise on display during a spring game to get them the through the dark days of the off-season. If Saturday's performance is any indication, the off-season might actually be the only bright spot for Baylor fans. Case in point,
the Green and Gold teams managed to score just 7 points in the finale to Baylor's spring practices, and the lone touchdown came in the game's last five minutes.
"That's kind of been our M.O.," Morriss said. "It's the (lack of) consistency with some new things that we're doing this spring that's got them thinking a little too much. We really would have liked to see them be a little more crisp and sharp than we were, but we've still got some time to work on all that."
While I'm sure Baylor fans have to come to expect this type of deficiency, you'd think the offense could at least muster a little spunk in the spring game. Optimistic fans will point out the strong play of the Baylor defense. The first-team defense of the Green team shut out the Whites, and tallied six sacks. Baylor managed just 11 sacks all of 2007. But despite their performance, Baylor defenders are displaying an incredible level of
modesty hyperbole:
"Man, it's an incredible feeling to know that you've got a push like that in the middle," said senior defensive end Geoff Nelson. "When we start doing stunts, it's going to be amazing to watch."
Shutting out Baylor just feels right. Even when you play for ... Baylor.
