Baylor Bears
The Bears crawl into this weekend’s action sporting a respectable 4-2 record. In addition, the Bears wield a 2-1 record in Big 12 play this season. That conference record ranks Baylor as the 3rd best conference in the Big 12. Coming off a 37-34 triumph over Kansas State, the Bears are hopeful they can use this momentum to get an upset over Texas this weekend. However, considering that the Bears were killed by Oklahoma 66-33, the same Oklahoma that Texas upset this past weekend, it’s clear that the program will have their hands full this weekend. Furthermore, Baylor is 0-3 in their last 3 meetings against Texas. Clearly they’ve had some struggles against the Longhorns and this Saturday’s matchup will be no different.
Players to Watch: Charlie Brewer (1,558 passing yards, 9 TD, 2 INT), JaMycal Hasty (285 rushing yards, 3 TD, 5.9 AVG), and Jalen Hurd (550 receiving yards, 3 TD, 42 REC).
Texas Longhorns
The Longhorns enter this weekend’s action proudly sporting a 5-1 record after picking up their biggest win of the season this past Saturday. In addition to their 5-1 record, Texas has an unblemished 3-0 record in Big 12 play this season. Surprisingly, this pegs them alongside West Virginia as the best program in the conference. Ultimately Texas and West Virginia will settle this debate three weeks from now when the Longhorns travel to face the Mountaineers on the road. Looking over the numbers, it’s clear that Texas will have an advantage this weekend. Right now they’re putting up 32.0 while giving up24.0. On the other hand, the Bears are scoring 35.8 while allotting 32.3. With a better defense, and an equally dynamic offense, we should expect Texas to coast to an easy win this weekend.
Players to Watch: Sam Ehlinger (1,499 passing yards, 11 TD, 2 INT), Tre Watson (299 rushing yards, 1 TD, 3.9 AVG), and Lil’Jordan Humphrey (535 receiving yards, 4 TD, 35 REC).
