Can Colt McCoy continue his Heisman-worthy play?
Coming off a loss to Texas Tech that knocked the Longhorns from title favorites to title contenders, the team will look to rebound today against Baylor. Sitting at number four in the BCS rankings if the Horns can take care of their business starting today they could easily climb their way back into things. Baylor is a better team than in year’s past so Texas won’t be able to sleepwalk through this one.
After a tough loss and a week of distractions, can Texas avoid the upset? Find out what we think below:
Brian - This is a huge game for the Longhorns. There are so many reason the team could be headed for a let down against Baylor, coming off a ferocious stretch of games and also coming off a loss. Baylor, led by Robert Griffin, is a solid team that as they showed last week against Missouri can play with anybody these days. Texas is still a class above them and I think the leadership of this team is strong. Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley are going to get back on track. We’ll also see huge games for linebackers Sergio Kindle and Roddrick Muckelroy as they try to keep Griffin from going off. Texas 48 - Baylor 20
Mike - This game could go two ways. The hangover of last week combined with a dead stadium early Saturday morning against the year in and year out door mat team of the Big 12 could lead to a tightly played, poorly executed ball game. Or Texas could come out and dominate trying to prove a point that last week is in the past. Great teams rebound from a tough loss and while I’m not convinced this UT squad is a great team, I do think they are mentally tough enough to bounce back from a loss that would send some teams into a downward spiral. Texas is bigger, faster, and should be hungrier than a much improved Baylor team. It won’t be the laugher it has been, but Texas wins going away after a slow first quarter. Texas 45 - Baylor 17
