Three Baylor players that can haunt Texas

These three Baylor players could end up haunting the Longhorns.

Running Back Abram Smith

We should all be well aware that opposing running backs have been terrorizing the Longhorns defense. Texas allows about 200 yards rushing per game, and Baylor will likely give Smith and their trio of running backs as many carries as possible if the game is in reach. Smith is extremely elusive, and is not easy to tackle by any means averaging 7.5 yards per carry, which is not a good sign for a Texas team who has been struggling in that aspect as of late.

Smith concerns me the most, because if Texas does not bring him down at the first level it will be a long day for them. They need to create penetration and prevent Baylor from repeatedly running the ball down their throats.
