Nate Bennett

You know, it was kind of a, a weird week one contest gets hurt, misses consecutive games.

And in his place, Nate Bennett comes in and starts and plays pretty well.

People were wondering, you know, is DJ Lagway going to lose this job? You know, former five-star burning out as quickly as, as he possibly was, you know, not all of a sudden declaring he's going to live up to the billing and, and be one of college football's best, but he, A fantastic showing for him in his first game, fully healthy this season, 25 of 40, 306 yards, four touchdowns, no turnovers Baylor.

All of a sudden after that week, one loss looked pretty uninspired.

Ha.

Last week saying, "Oh, would it have been better with Nate Bennett out there?" No disrespect to Nate Bennett, that was dumb.

[laughs] That was dumb You know, I said DJ is your guy because of the response drive he had against Colorado, and that is true.

But DJ is your guy because he can do that.

I didn't think this was a slouch of an Arizona State defense either, and in fact, I don't think that's a clueless team, but they looked clueless.

Baylor made them look clueless, 55-19 in their own home barn.

So yeah, no disrespect to Nate Bennett, but [laughs] DJ Lagway's your dude, and he's been your dude.

And I'm fired up that it's coming together, that we are starting to see it.

Through the air, you'd never know.

310 yards for Cutter Boley, 320 for DJ Lagway, and Nate Bennett.

On the ground, this is the story of the game here.

244 yards on the ground for Baylor, 99 for the Sun Devils.

But Gavin Freeman is great at, like, the intermediate underneath route.

And so I think that's really helped DJ kind of get in a rhythm and helped whoever's at quarterback, whether it's DJ or Nate Bennett, get in a rhythm.

So I think for Gavin, it's just been kind of right place, right time, right attitude.

and uh man he has not disappointed for Baylor so far he is just an absolute monster but yeah other guys like I mentioned Lewis Brown Jaden Porter Draylon Miller is another guy he was uh he was at Colorado last year with Omarion Miller who's on uh Arizona State now so but he has yet to kind of find his groove a little bit Jaden McGowan is another receiver who I think has come on, he's more of a special teams guy, but certainly has found his footing.

No, he hasn't.

A lot of the success that you see in Baylor's passing attack to this point is their backup quarterback, right? It's Nate Bennett.

This is a Baylor offense that has gone through some changes.

Obviously, in the offseason, you lose Sawyer Robertson out of eligibility.

I don't know if we even want to call it a competition.

If DJ's healthy, he's going to go.

I've seen Baylor fans say that Nate Bennett's better, like they'd rather have him out there.

But again, it could just be trolls on the internet that want something to talk

And the issue going around right now is that Baylor's got different quarterbacks going on right now.

Like I mentioned, Lagway earlier, Nate Bennett came in as well.

And now it's a matter of what who they're going to see on Saturday.

Here is what Kenny Dillingham had to say.
