*****GAME THREAD: Texas Longhorns @ #13 Baylor Bears*****

[HornSports Staff]

With two games left on the 2019 football schedule, the Texas Longhorns (6-4, 4-3) have an opportunity to salvage what currently stands as a mediocre football season. The Longhorns will need a win over the #13 Baylor Bears in Waco to reach win no. 7 on the season, which presents a tall task for a Texas team that has played with inconsistency throughout the season. Tom Herman holds a perfect 2-0 against Baylor as a head coach, and a win for the Longhorns would secure a winning season for Texas.

Texas is coming off a close road loss to Iowa State in which quarterback Sam Ehlinger threw three touchdown passes. Baylor lost their first game of the season last weekend to #10 Oklahoma, 34-31, but Matt Rhule’s team remains tied atop the Big 12 Standings with Oklahoma.

A victory against the Bears would extend the Texas win-streak over Baylor to five. Texas is 19-20 in games under Tom Herman in games which they have outgained their opponent, which means Ehlinger and the offense must make the most of every possession. If the Texas offense can dominate Baylor, Texas likely leaves McLane Stadium with a win.

Would love to see the bailor rapists lose this one to give at least some happiness to Horn fans these days. I expect this to be a lopsided loss for UT though. Hope I'm wrong. Tired of my Saturdays being tarnished by the way Horns have played/been coached. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Collin Johnson and BJ Foster out for this game due to injury.

 

[Aaron Carrara]

You think Tom Herman wants to win this game?

 

[dillohorn]

Fumble saves Orlando's butt on BU opening drive. Good God.

 

[texbound]

Swing pass right for 4 yards, predictable run for no gain, 3rd and medium to long....rinse and repeat

 

[texbound]

Could you just imagine if every player on the defense played with the same hustle as Overshown does...this defense would be outstanding.

 

[aUTfan]

Two programs, one with lesser talent recruited year after year and one coach paid significantly less than the other, both been at their respective schools the same exact amount of time to turn their programs around. See if you can determine the team with fewer resources.

 

[dillohorn]

I've seen enough of this.

 

[Bevostuntdouble]

This coaching staff is pure f##king trash. 

 

[Bevostuntdouble]

Herman should not be calling plays. He is a horrible play caller. 

 

[The Tinman]

BU has the offense all figured out. Texas has to go into the vault to get points on the board

Put him in concussion protocol because the offense is in a coma right now.

 

[Hiwood]

its not the plays being called...Texas doesnt have the playmakers and game changers, Sam has lost a bit  of his mojo..Guess we aren't back

That..... i was going to include this assessment in my post above that every year aggies claim our recruits get ranking bumps. TBH, I can't point to any data that counters that point, either that or our coaching staff is substandard, its one or the other. Its clear on the field against every team this year we dont look any better then the other team. We arent' any faster, our players aren't athletically better than the ones across the field.

 

[drgilbert]

We have 84 total yards. Glad I’m at work and missing this shit show. 

 

[Captain Hookem]

It's be interested in numbers for this offense with and without Collin. Seems like everything shuts down without him.

Defense is actually playing well, especially considering they are getting no break from the offense.

 

[aUTfan]

Sam hasn't even looked like hes even in the top 5 in THE BIG 12 much less a heisman candidate. Its laughable, and I swear if I hear his name mentioned next year as a candidate I'm going to lose it. He doesn't deserve it, i don't care how good the team is next year.

 

[aUTfan]

And I love our kids, but I'm going to call a spade a spade, this team does not have elite athletes at all, any where.
