Where do the Bears go from here? Well, they will give the keys to their lethal offense to Jarrett Stidham, and hope that he can keep this offense, well, lethal.

Here’s where the bad news becomes worse: Baylor still has to play the Oklahoma Sooners, Oklahoma State Cowboys and TCU Horned Frogs. All three teams still have a shot at the College Football Playoff.

Sad, sad news for Russell and the Bears.

Here’s to a speedy recovery.
