Why Baylor Will Win

The Bears keep on playing at the high level of a No. 1 team, ripping through the Big 12 and then flexing some muscle with a 12-point win over Auburn on Saturday to show just how real this all is.

The offense struggled against the Tigers, but the defense was a rock when it needed to be, and again, it was yet another easy win. The Bears are still terrific from three – they lead the nation hitting over 43% from the outside – they move the ball around better than just about anyone to get those threes, and the D is great at taking the ball away.

Texas doesn’t force errors, but …

Why Texas Will Win

The Longhorns are amazing at defending the three – they lead the Big 12 at three-point D.

It’s the one team that can not only bother them from three, but can provide a big push on the boards at both ends. The defense has to take over for stretches.

The offense is streaky. It’s a good shooting team overall, and it can get hot from three, but it’s all about the defense. The Longhorns are going to bother the Bears more than anyone else has, but …

What’s Going To Happen

Baylor is playing at a whole other level.

Texas has the D and the pressure to keep this from getting out of hand, but even when pressed, Baylor has a way of going on that one big spurt needed to get by.

Texas doesn’t shoot well enough, it gets hit with way too many fouls, and it’ll turn the ball over just enough to ruin a brilliant day from the defense.

Postgame Report: Texas demolished by Baylor, 24-10

The Texas Longhorns dropped another game against the Baylor Bears today, losing 24-10

Going into today’s matchup with Baylor, this was a chance to earn a little bit of redemption for the Longhorns. After an overall disappointing season, this was a chance for Texas to right the ship or show some progress. Instead, the Baylor Bears embarrassed the Longhorns. Though the score doesn’t imply a blowout, Texas was never in control and the lone touchdown on the day came in garbage time on a 4-yard Daniel Young run.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger finished the game with 22/37 passing for 200 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. He added 19 attempts on the ground for 79 yards in one of the worst performances of the year. Devin Duvernay picked up where he left off, catching 10 passes for 78 yards.

Texas played a sloppy game, reflected in the three unsportsmanlike penalties they accrued in the second half. Frustration is to be expected, but repeated offenses like that can call coaching into question.

The standout performer for the Longhorns was running back Keaontay Ingram, who finished the game with 7 rushes for 86 yards. Ingram came up with the best play of the game for Texas, and one of a very small handful of highlights. With 18 seconds before halftime, Texas was down 7-0 to the Baylor Bears and backed up to its own end zone. The Longhorns hand the ball off to Keaontay Ingram to run the clock down and head to the locker room, but Ingram takes it 68 yards into field goal range with 4 seconds on the clock. Check out the long run here:

After that long run put Texas in field goal range, Cameron Dicker hit the field goal to put points on the board and head into the locker room down 7-3:

Texas Longhorns DB DeMarvion Overshown will not return

In a tough game for Texas, the hits just keep on coming. Earlier, Keaontay Ingram got injured on what would be the best play of the game for the Longhorns’ offense. Ingram injured his ankle and will not return. Now, DB DeMarvion Overshown is also out for the remainder of the game with an ankle injury.

Texas hasn’t gotten anything going, and Baylor is having it’s way with the Longhorns, as the Bears lead 24-3 in the fourth quarter. If you aren’t doing anything anyway and want to check out the end of the game, Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream.

More unfortunate news for the Texas Longhorns. On his 68-yard run to put Texas in field goal range at the end of the first half, Keaontay Ingram injured his ankle and Texas announced that he will not return to the game. Roschon Johnson is used to stepping up, so hopefully he can provide the energy the Longhorns need to come back from a two-score deficit in the second half.

A win here against the Bears gives Texas something to build on going forward and represents some movement in the right direction after a season that has not gone according to plan. Here is everything you need to know to watch, listen, or stream the game.

Texas didn’t play a great first half. The offense never got into rhythm, and continuously stalled on drive after drive. Keaontay Ingram put the team on his back as he gashed the Baylor defense for 68-yards to give Cameron Dicker (the kicker) a shot to put the Longhorns on the board. Dicker predictably knocks it through, and Texas heads into the locker room for the half down 7-3 to the Baylor Bears.

The Longhorns really needed this. With 18 seconds before halftime, Texas was down 7-0 to the Baylor Bears and backed up to its own end zone. The Longhorns hand the ball off to Keaontay Ingram to run the clock down and head to the locker room, but Ingram takes it 68 yards into field goal range with 4 seconds on the clock.

Sam Ehlinger is a mad man. As Texas trails by one score to Baylor in the second quarter, the Longhorns’ offense is in desperate need of a spark. Fortunately, Sam Ehlinger has delivered those time after time. Here, as Texas is backed up into their endzone, Baylor sends heat on a delayed blitz but can’t take down the Longhorns’ QB. Ehlinger slips out of the tackle and delivers a strike through the hit to Malcolm Epps for the first down.

Prediction

Baylor 30, Texas 20

Moneyline (ML)

Baylor should win this game, especially with it being at home. The Bears are 11-1 SU in their last 12 games dating back to last season and are healthy entering this one against Texas.

Texas’ defense simply won’t be able to slow down the Bears offense enough in this one, allowing Baylor to come away with a win. Bet on BAYLOR (-223) to win straight up.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Baylor to win returns a profit of $4.48.

Against the Spread (ATS)

Texas is just 4-6 ATS this season, while Baylor is 5-2 ATS in its last seven games this season after starting 1-3. Baylor is 6-2 ATS against Big 12 teams, too.

The Bears are favored by 5.5 points,. It’s not a huge spread considering how poorly Texas has played lately. Take BAYLOR (-115) to cover the spread and win by at least six points.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total is set at 59.5 points, a fairly high number for this matchup. The combination of Texas’ struggling defense and Baylor’s consistent offense makes this seem like the Over is going to hit, but the total has gone Under in each of the last six meetings between these teams.

The total has gone Under in 11 of Texas’ last 15 road games, too. Take the UNDER (-110).
