SAWYER ROBERTSON NEWS

QB1 of depth chart Robertson is listed as the Bears' starting quarterback for their game Saturday at Iowa State, Zach Smith of The Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Before Monday, Baylor's depth chart included Robertson and Dequan Finn as co-starters. Now, the Bears have Robertson as their lone starter, which seems to assure he will be starting moving forward. This comes off another relatively strong performance in which Robertson logged four touchdowns against BYU.

Falls short after late rally Robertson was 27-for-48 passing for 324 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 34-28 defeat to Brigham Young. He also had 12 rushes for 29 yards with one t...

Impact Robertson was directing the team down the field in the final minutes, but a leaping interception from BYU's Crew Wakley ultimately sealed the win for the Cougars. Despite the loss and the team's current 2-3 record, Robertson had a solid stat line and appears to have a strong hold on the starting job over Dequan Finn. The Bears have no reason to go back to Finn at the moment, so Robertson will likely start again next week against Iowa State.

Starting against BYU Robertson will start under center for Baylor as they face off against BYU on Saturday, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Robertson will make another start for the Bears with Dequan Finn (undisclosed) sidelined again. The 6-foot-4 redshirt junior has looked good for Baylor this season, throwing for 396 yards (29-of-45), two touchdowns and zero interceptions across his two starts, adding on 89 yards and two scores on the ground.

Solid despite OT loss Robertson completed 11 of 21 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-31 overtime defeat against Colorado. He also had nine rushes for 82 yards with one touchdo...

Impact Although the Bears fell short, Robertson logged another full game under center and played well. Dequan Finn was considered active but did not play, further clouding the quarterback situation. Finn beat out Robertson in camp, but the Bears would be rightfully gun-shy about flipping back to the incumbent after Robertson's two solid results. Baylor takes on an solid BYU squad in Week 5, and it will be interesting to see who ends up as the signal caller.

Starting vs. Colorado Robertson has been announced as the starter for Saturday's game against Colorado, Zach Smith of Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Co-starter for Colorado game Robertson is listed as a co-starter for Baylor's game Saturday at Colorado, Zach Smith of The Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact Without any ailments, Dequan Finn (undisclosed) is expected to be Baylor's starting quarterback Saturday. But if they continue until then, the Bears will have Robertson as their primary QB.

Convincing in decisive win Robertson was 18-for-24 passing for 248 yards during Saturday's 31-3 win against Air Force. He also had three rushes for five yards with one touchdown.

Impact Although Air Force didn't represent much of a challenge, Robertson's result is cause for re-igniting the quarterback competition for Baylor. Dequan Finn has played adequately but showed some inconsistency to begin the season. Conversely, Robertson was very effective in directing the offense and looks like the better fit at the moment. A change could be imminent, and next week's game against Colorado will prove to be a good litmus test.

Starting Saturday Robertson is expected to start against Air Force on Saturday, Zach Smith of the Waco Tribune-Herald reports.

Impact With Dequan Finn dealing with "minor ailments", the junior Robertson is expected to get his first start this year against Air Force. Robertson has completed 3-of-5 passes in limited action this year for 67 yards and a touchdown. He completed 56.4 percent of his passes for 864 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions last season.

Sees limited snaps as backup Robertson was 3-for-5 passing for 67 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-3 victory against Tarleton State.

Impact Dequan Finn won the job over Robertson in camp, but he managed to see some snaps in the blowout win. Unless Finn suffers an injury, Robertson will have minimal impact this season.

Not expected to be QB1 Robertson is not expected to be named Baylor's starting quarterback, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Dequan Finn is expected to be named Baylor's starting quarterback. It should not be such a surprising decision, considering Finn's statistical output during his enrollment at Toledo. But now, there is a chance Robertson does not earn the same opportunities he received during 2023, especially if Finn plays well and remains healthy across 2024.

Impact Robertson was benched after he struggled in Week 4 of the 2023 season, but was able to finish out the year with a start, completing 17 of 19 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown. Though his playing time was very inconsistent this past year, he is still in the running for the starting quarterback spot, though he does have some competition in Toledo transfer DeQuan Finn. The 6-foot-4 quarterback's future is unclear, though his playing time for the upcoming season should be a little less blurry as spring practices start to ramp up.

Losing effort in surprise start Robertson completed 17 of 19 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 34-31 defeat to West Virginia. He also had 15 rushes for 33 yards.

Impact Robertson received the start with Blake Shapen in the concussion protocol. He played fairly well in a game manager role, yet it wasn't enough as West Virginia made a final drive comeback. With just three wins on the season, Baylor is done for the year.
