Longhorns Daily News: A century of Texas, Baylor’s rivalry culminates in Waco this weekend

More than a century of college football history – 112 meetings altogether, minus the 1944 season – likely ends this weekend once Big 12 rivals the Texas Longhorns visit the Baylor Bears in Waco. Fitting, too, is the fact that undefeated Texas enters the matchup at No. 3 in the latest AP Poll, while Baylor – whose longest winning streak against Texas is only in back-to-back seasons in 2013 and 2014 – enters with a losing record, at 1-2.
