A tone-setting Saturday awaits the Texas Longhorns as they leave the bye week for their final four games. It will be perhaps the most consequential and season-defining game of the year.
Texas faces the Kansas State Wildcats in what will likely determine whether or not the Longhorns are competitive the rest of the season. We have seen how Texas tends to play once they are eliminated from conference contention in years past. They may need to win on Saturday to keep the team engaged.
Other games across the conference have significance. Baylor travels to Norman to face Oklahoma and stay in the conference title race as well. Elsewhere TCU hosts Texas Tech and Oklahoma State will aim to fend off the pesky Kansas Jayhawks.
Let’s look at potential results of some of the biggest games.
