Texas Longhorns vs Baylor Bears

Love the Bears this weekend. Run defense has been a major problem for Texas this season - both Arkansas and Oklahoma ran all over the Horns. While not quite that potent, both Ok State and TCU were able to run the ball pretty well against Texas as well.

Baylor is averaging 240 yards a game rushing and 3.0 touchdowns per game on the ground and just went for 303 and four, respectively, in a dominate win over BYU.

Baylor's defense is a bend don't break defense and has also held each of its first seven opponents below 30 points.

Texas QB Casey Thompson looked good in his first start he has stumbled a bit in last 2 games - I expect more growing pains this weekend against a really good Baylor defense. Texas has weapons and will score some points but won't keep pace with this Bears offense over 4 quarters.

Prediction: Baylor 37- Texas 30

Both teams are coming off a bye week ahead of this match so look for this to be a big game this week. Baylor has the third best defense in the B12 limiting opponents to 333 YPG and their offense leads the B12 in YPG. This Bears team is a solid bunch, but this Longhorns team will be the best team they have faced to date. I think Texas will spoil the Bears B12 championship hopes and upset Baylor on the road.
