Texas Longhorns vs Baylor Bears: Halftime recap

After being down 3-0 at the end of the first quarter, Texas has responded and goes into the locker room with a 13-3 lead.

Who says the Big 12 is all about offense? After being down 3-0 at the end of the first quarter, Texas has responded and goes into the locker room with a 13-3 lead.

Sam Ehlinger has picked it up, finally finding the endzone through the air. The senior quarterback is eight of 13 with 146 yards. Ehlinger connected with Joshua Moore for the first touchdown of the game.

Keaontay Ingram has gotten the majority of the carries on the ground, gaining 31 yards. Sophomore Roschon Johnson has yet to get a touch after suffering a shoulder injury against Oklahoma.

The biggest story for the defensive is the health of Joseph Ossai. Playing the Jack position, Ossai headed back to the locker room in the final minute of the second quarter.

Missed opportunities on the defensive end remain crucial for the Longhorns. B.J Foster, Chris Brown, and D’Shawn Jamison have all dropped interceptions. For a team that is desperate for turnovers, Texas must take advantage of Charlie Brewer’s mistakes.
