Baker's insistence on holding the ball and thus losing yards to a sack is starting to become worrisome.

He's having a really great year and I don't imply he's bad, but it concerns me heading into Baylor/TCU and OSU as those yards could end up costing us.

I have noticed it the last several games starting with Texas and it seems to be getting worse. Several times Saturday he was out of the tackle box and all he had to do was throw it out of bounds, but he ends up getting sacked and losing yards.

Anyone else see it as something that is definitely fixable but yet doesn't seem to be improving?
