The Texas Longhorns (3-0) have reached Baylor week. And although the Bears (1-2) have only won 2 of their last 8 meetings, the team has won its last two home games against the Longhorns.
The 2021 matchup still leaves a salt-like sting in the wound for Texas. We expect veteran players could play with an edge. They will need an edge to escape with a win.
Texas comes off a 31-10 victory over Wyoming. The game felt much closer. Offensive struggles compounded the power of Wyoming’s early 62-yard touchdown run.
It’s equally true that Texas outscored Wyoming 31-3 after the Cowboys’ early touchdown drive, and the offense adjusted to win the fourth quarter 21-0.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s that Texas is vulnerable to defenses that shatter tendencies in the first half. You can expect Baylor defensive coordinator to have a few changes up his sleeve for the Longhorns.
Baylor will probably make this another knockdown drag out game. Can the Longhorns adjust in time to win or, better yet, have plays that transfer to success regardless of what Baylor runs?
Texas takes on Baylor on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC.
