Texas hands No. 8 Baylor first loss with late field goal

“We would never coach that way and that’s not how our team plays”. But first comes Saturday’s visit to Texas. Defensively, Texas football is yielding 263.1 yards in passing and 175.6 yards in rushing against the opposing teams. We’ve got a setback.

Storyline: This marks the sixth time in seven years the Bears enter their game against the Longhorns as the higher ranked team, but UT’s underdog status didn’t matter much in last year’s 23-17 upset in Waco. Strong, asked whether he has received support from his bosses, said: “We do have support within this program”. Texas avoided falling to 3-5, and college football fans who didn’t want to see scandal-plagued Baylor run undefeated to the Playoff got a reprieve.

Several players spoke on the subject of unity, and it was clear that they are hearing the talk surrounding their coach’s job. On the defense, Texas football yields 263.1 yards in passing and 175.6 yards in rushing against their opponents. “But it didn’t hurt them enough”.

Defenses have had difficulty slowing down Texas Tech’s Patrick Mahomes all season.

“They tried to give us the game”, Strong said.

Texas: The Longhorns are at Texas Tech on Saturday. And we can rattle on about the kicking or the quarterback or the wide receiver drops or anything else that went wrong. Texas competed without several injured players as well.

On the ensuing drive for Texas, Buechele hit [Armanti] Foreman for a 39 yard strike that put the Longhorns deep in Baylor territory.

“I was excited for him”, Beck said. Baylor scored on the next play when Seth Russell found KD Cannon with a 15 yard pass, and a almost 2 hour first half mercifully came to a close. “We know he’s banged up and we’ve just got to get after him”, Hager said. It’s a game that we could have won and we didn’t get it done. When I go out there I want to play my most aggressive game, but I’m not trying to do anything to physically injure someone. He threw for 734 yards and five touchdowns and also ran the ball 12 times for 85 yards and two touchdowns.

Just when you think the Charlie Strong era is going to come to a dramatic end with a blowout loss at home against Baylor…THAT happens. They forced a field goal inside their 10-yard line to keep it a one-score game.

Strong is 14-18 during his three seasons at Texas, including 10-12 in Big 12 games.

“For years, you find ways to win them, then you find ways to lose them” Patterson said. The Longhorns capitalized on the next play with D’Onta Foreman’s 37-yard touchdown run on the next play.

West Virginia’s Skyler Howard passed for 212 yards, but he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble for the Mountaineers (6-1, 3-1).
