Texas’ season is on the line when Baylor travels to Austin on Saturday afternoon. The Longhorns are coming off back-to-back losses to TCU and Oklahoma to sit 1-2 in the Big 12. A loss would end any remaining chance Texas has of making the conference championship game.
In the fourth year of the Tom Herman era, this is a must-win game if he wants to keep his job past this season. After the Red River Shootout, there were questions brought up about his job security. A win against the Bears would keep him safe for now.
For Baylor, this will be their first game since Oct. 3 on the road to West Virginia as Dave Aranda’s squad has been dealing with COVID-19 complications. It led to the cancelation of the Oklahoma State matchup originally scheduled for Oct. 17.
