Baylor Bears star quarterback Robert Griffin will be out for the season due to a knee injury.

An MRI scan revealed “an isolated tear” in his ACL. This is most unfortunate as Baylor had high prospects for a great season mostly due to the stellar sophomore QB. He sustained the injury in the first half of the Bears’ 68-13 victory over Northwestern State on Saturday night.

The Bears also lost senior defensive back and return specialist Mikail Baker to a knee injury. An MRI revealed an ACL tear and tears to his medial and lateral meniscus after he was hurt on special teams.

Griffin was injured when his leg bent awkwardly while being stopped for no gain on a fourth-down play the opening series of the game. He remained on the ground for several minutes, the silence broken only when Baylor students started chanting his name before he walked gingerly to the sideline.

This is a huge loss to a team that might have upset a couple of top ranked Big 12 teams this year.
