Texas Longhorns Week 13 Opponent Preview: Baylor Bears
There are going to be major Big 12 title implications on the line Saturday in Austin when the Baylor Bears come to Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium to take on the Texas Longhorns.
Win, and the Longhorns are just a Kansas State loss away from making it to Arlington.
Lose, and the Longhorns' hopes are dashed.
Coming to Austin will be a Baylor team that is coming off of a heartbreaking loss to the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday, in which they blew a late lead, and their own Big 12 title chances.
What type of team will Baylor bring to Austin? Will it be a motivated team looking for an upset? Or will it be a defeated team already resigned to their mediocre bowl fate?
