It’s fair to say that a 2-2 result for the Texas Longhorns in the first four games of the 2020 season is disappointing.
In a year that featured a favorable schedule and a solid core of upperclassmen leaders, preseason talks were of conference championships and potentially playing in the College Football Playoffs. Now, Texas essentially faces a must-win game every week in order to keep any shot at a Big 12 championship game alive.
The gauntlet starts Saturday at home against the Baylor Bears, who are coming off of a loss at the West Virginia Mountaineers and missing a week of practice due to a COVID shutdown. The Bears have managed just two games in six weeks of football due to virus issues, canceling non-conference matchups, as well as pushing their game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys to the end of the season.
Senior quarterback Charlie Brewer leads a Baylor offense that returns seven starters, but misses key playmakers like Denzel Mims, who took his talents to the NFL. The Bears have yet to establish who their new playmakers are on offense and will look to do so against Texas on Saturday.
