Overview
- Lagway was ruled out for Baylor’s Week 2 game against Prairie View A&M and Nate Bennett was named the starter, sources reported Friday.
- Reports say Lagway suffered a high-ankle sprain in the season opener at Auburn and finished that game while visibly hampered by a heavily taped right ankle.
- Lagway completed 27 of 54 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the loss to Auburn, raising questions about his mobility and decision making under injury.
- Coach Dave Aranda has described Lagway as 'day-to-day' and framed the choice to sit him as a conservative move given the opponent and the team’s upcoming schedule.
- Bennett will make his first career start with limited game reps, and how the staff adjusts the game plan will affect both short-term results and Lagway’s timeline ahead of Baylor’s Sept. 26 Big 12 opener at Colorado.
