Some Vital Aspects Of Baylor Football To Keep An Eye On This Offseason

The offseason is where championship teams are made.

This upcoming season will be incredibly telling for Matt Rhule and the Baylor program. After winning only one game to Kansas last year, the team is trying to piece together a respectable season. Here are 4 things to look for this offseason.

1. The QB Battle

Charlie Brewer will look to maintain his place as QB1 as freshman Gerry Bohanon tries to take the job. Bohanon is a 4-star dual threat out of Arkansas but is most likely to redshirt and spend a year learning under Brewer. It would still be fun to watch a fight for the starting job though.

2. Byron Hanspard II

Hanspard is one of Rhule’s crown jewel recruits. His father played in the NFL as a running back and passed his athletic abilities down to his son. Hanspard II is a 4-star recruit out of DeSoto High school and is one of the perfect leaders for this Baylor locker room. From just following Hanspard II on Twitter, I’m confident that his leadership and Christian mentality will be displayed for the next 4 years.

3. Wide Receiver Health

Baylor had an absolutely atrocious time with injuries last year. Star receiver Chris Platt went down early with a knee injury, R.J. Sneed had a season-ending leg injury, and Pooh Stricklin took a knock to the foot. With all these players back, the Bear’s receiving core looks lethal, but it will be a major question of recovery and maintenance for these guys.

4. Running Back Health

Injuries happen, but the amount of injuries that the running backs took became a little ridiculous. Terence Williams, JaMycal Hasty, Dru Dixon, John Lovett, and Tristan Ebner all took some form of an injury this past season. Obviously, this can't be the case this offseason or Rhule may have to start signing random kids jogging on treadmills at the SLC.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.
