Injury Alert: Texas RB Keaontay Ingram out for the remainder of the Baylor game
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.
Watch: Cameron “Dicker the kicker” puts the Longhorns on the board with last-second field goal
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.
Dicker, the kicker, probably cut it closer than he wanted but it's good. Herman pumped. Or, relieved? Baylor up 7-3 at the break. pic.twitter.com/RL9TWqg9zE

Texas Longhorns RB Keaontay Ingram gives Texas the spark it needed, getting into field goal range with seconds left
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. Check out the long run here:

Watch: Sam Ehlinger somehow slips out of would-be safety and throws for a first down
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.

Texas’ third most-played opponent, Baylor comes into Austin with only one loss. The Longhorns can make it five wins in a row on Saturday.
Texas and Baylor have been playing against each other for a long time, with the first game dating back to 1901. Only Texas A&M and Oklahoma have played the Longhorns more. The Bears are also the team Texas has beaten the most in their history. Dominating the series for years, the momentum swung towards Baylor in the first half of the decade. Now on a four-game winning streak and back in favor of Texas, they can add another win against an old rival on Saturday.
Here is the series record between the Longhorns and Bears:
All-time series record: Texas leads 78-26-4
Largest wins: Texas 77-0 in 1913, Baylor 50-7 in 1989
Latest Texas win: Oct. 13, 2018
Last season’s victory against Baylor was one that was led by then backup and now SMU quarterback Shane Buechele. Sam Ehlinger left the game injured in the first quarter and Buechele played well in this place.
Buechele was 20-34 with 184 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. His touchdown was a 44-yard deep throw to Collin Johnson who beat one on one coverage down the right sideline to give the Longhorns a 13-10 lead.
Where the Longhorns really succeeded though was on the ground. Keaontay Ingram had a season-high 110 yards on just 19 carries. Tre Watson contributed 41 yards and Texas rushed for 170 total yards. Lil’ Jordan Humphrey had the only rushing touchdown for the Longhorns, scoring on a wildcat formation touchdown.
Holding Baylor go 100 rushing yards, the Bears’ 88 rushing yards were third-fewest Texas allowed in the regular season. Quarterback Charlie Brewer led the Baylor in rushing with 22 yards. As for passing the ball, Brewer struggled, only completing 51% of his throws. His 240 yards, a touchdown, and an interception were apart of an offensive struggle for the Bears.
Texas won 23-17, making it four wins in a row against Baylor. It is the longest winning streak the Longhorns have had in the series since winning 12 straight from 1998 to 2009.
Latest Baylor win: Oct. 4, 2014
Ranked No. 7 at the time, Baylor was riding a 4-0 start with an average margin of victory of 41 going into the 2014 matchup against Texas. Under first-year Head Coach Charlie Strong, Texas was 2-2 and still trying to find themselves.
Both quarterbacks had an awful day, completing a combined 41% of their throws. Baylor’s Bryce Petty was 7-22 with 111 yards. Two of those seven completions were second-half touchdowns to Antwan Goodley and Corey Coleman. Texas’ Tyrone Swoopes was a little better going 16-34 with 144 yards, but he had two interceptions.
Both teams excelled running the ball, especially the Bears. Baylor’s Shock Linwood averaged 5.3 yards per carry, with 148 yards on 28 carries. Other running back Johnny Jefferson had 72 yards on 11 carries. Texas had Jonathan Gray and Malcolm Brown go for 134 yards on 24 carries, while Gray scored the Longhorns’ only points of the game.
In a low scoring affair, both offenses struggled to find points. The only scoring play of the first half was a first-quarter blocked field goal by Baylor and Terrell Burt returned it 62 yards to give the Bears a 7-0 lead.
Baylor beat the Longhorns 28-7, making it their second win in Austin since 2010. Before those two wins, it had been since 1991 that the Bears beat Texas on the road. Baylor ended the season 11-1 and just missed out on the inaugural College Football Playoffs, while Texas stumbled to a 6-7 season.
Texas will play Baylor on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CST on FS1.
Former Longhorn Jordan Hicks continues his career year as he leads the NFL in tackles
This past offseason, former Texas Longhorn Jordan Hicks was signed by the Arizona Cardinals to a 4-year, $34 million contract. Before that, Hicks played four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles. Early into his tenure with the Cardinals, Hicks is having the best year of his career – and pacing the NFL in tackles.

Through 11 games, Hicks has tallied 111 tackles (66 solo), 1.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 3 interceptions, 8 tackles for loss, and 6 passes defended. He has already set multiple career highs, reaching a new best in tackles, forced fumbles, solo tackles, tackles for loss, and quarterback hits. As the unquestioned leader of the resurging Cardinals defense, Hicks has brought a hard-nosed Texas Longhorn attitude to Arizona.
