For the first time since Halloween last season, Texas will be facing off against a ranked team on the road. No. 16 Baylor plays host in Waco, hoping to keep pushing their successful second year under Dave Aranda forward.
Both teams are coming off a bye week. In their last matchup, the Bears got a 14 point win over BYU, while Texas collapsed against Oklahoma State. The vibe around each program could not be more different.
When comparing the two from a stat perspective, the numbers a similar. Of the six categories selected (passing, rushing, receiving, tackling, sacks, and return yards), Bijan Robinson’s numbers are the only ones that show a significant difference.
Baylor quarterback Gerry Bohanon has some room on Casey Thompson, but the first two starts of the year went to Hudson Card. The former has played in and started every game for Baylor.
Here is a comparison of Texas and Baylor’s stat leaders. Of note, both teams have played seven games to this point.
