McLane Stadium was already buzzing Saturday night, but Baylor fans were stunned into silence when starting quarterback Sawyer Robertson was abruptly pulled from the game in the middle of a second-quarter drive. The shock deepened when cameras caught a fiery shouting match between Robertson and offensive coordinator Jake Spavital on the sideline. Tensions visibly boiled over after a missed third-down read, with Robertson allegedly waving off Spavital’s call before the snap. Moments later, backup QB RJ Martinez trotted onto the field. Social media erupted with speculation, with some claiming Spavital was yelling, “You don’t run this offense—I do!” Coach Dave Aranda attempted to downplay the moment in the post-game press conference, calling it “a moment of passion,” but fans aren’t buying it. Many are now questioning if the incident signals deeper dysfunction within the offense. While Baylor escaped with a narrow win, the bigger story is unfolding off the field. Will Robertson regain the trust of his coordinator? Or is this the beginning of a quarterback controversy that could derail the Bears’ season? The locker room may be quiet for now, but behind the scenes, the heat is rising in Waco.
