WACO, Texas (AP) Baylor officials insist it is a fluke that Nos. 61 and 58 are side-by-side in the Bears’ new football team photo.
TCU fans may find that hard to believe after the Frogs’ 61-58 loss at Baylor last season.
In the front row of the Bears’ photo taken this week are two senior offensive linemen, No. 61 Jarell Broxton and No. 58 Spencer Drango. They are in that order with coach Art Briles close behind them.
Baylor spokesman Heath Nielsen says Nos. 61 and 58 being beside each other is just a ”weird coincidence.”
Nielsen says players were sorted by class. Seniors were on the front rows with Briles, then sorted by height by the out-of-town photographer doing the shoot.
Big 12 co-champs Baylor and TCU were both left out of the first College Football Playoff last season.
They play Nov. 27, the day after Thanksgiving.
