In its place he has instilled a culture of absolutes and efficiency. Staff and players are not allowed to use the phrase "pretty good." Something is either good or bad. Babers lives 2.6 miles and two traffic lights from his office, which means he can get to his desk in less than five minutes. He politely declines to dive into specifics of the offense, deflecting questions with a big smile and a joke. And he tells an in-house crew filming promotional videos, "Make sure I see what goes on before you show that. No one else in the country does that drill."

This is not to say that all is perfect among teams running the Baylor system. Syracuse (3–4, after upsetting No. 17 Virginia Tech) and Texas (3–3) have struggled on defense. The Orange are allowing 37.7 points per game, while the Longhorns are giving up 34.0. One of the offense's weaknesses is the pressure it puts on its own defense because of the large number of possessions it forces. But Babers is not going to slow anything down. He wants to highlight the offense. "We have to be able to show our product," Babers says. "Show our brand."

Of course year one was always going to be about building a foundation, but will Syracuse be able to flip the switch in year two? Says Edinger, "It has never not worked."
