Why Baylor Will Win

It was just over a month ago, but Texas was whacked in Waco 59-44 as a part of a rough run going 4-7 since the new year started.

The Bear D didn’t let Texas do anything from three, there weren’t a whole slew of mistakes and turnovers, and there wasn’t any drama for a team now on a 20-game winning streak.

The No. 1 team in the nation continues to dominate with a suffocating defense that Texas shouldn’t be able to handle.

This isn’t hard – the Longhorns just don’t score. They’ve only hit the 70 point mark twice in 2020. Baylor will come up with the turnovers needed to make the UT O struggle that much more.

Why Texas Will Win

How do you beat Baylor? Texas has to get hot from three at home early on and get the Bears out of their comfort zone.

This isn’t a hard formula. When the Longhorns hit the three, they win. They’re 8-0 this season when they connect on 40% or more of their threes, and they’re 0 for they’re last 8 when they’re under the 40% mark.

It’s not totally impossible to hit 40% on the Baylor defense, but it’s certainly not easy this year.

In the Big 12, Texas is only behind TCU in the the number of threes jacked up per game – and it’s going to keep on pumping them up.

What’s Going To Happen

Texas isn’t going to hit 40% from three.

The Baylor defense is too active, forces too many mistakes, and it’s not going to let Texas get that extra pass it needs. Just as big a problem is the inability of the Longhorns to get to the line and hit their free throws – they’re not going to get the easy points needed to pull this off.

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:

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.
