Texas 47 Baylor 14



The Longhorns scored on an 80 yard drive to open the game and never looked back, as they cruised into halftime with a 40-0 lead.

It was nice to see the running game get on track (35 carries for 224 yards, a healthy 6.7 YPC).  Yes, Baylor ranks 89th in the country against the run, but you have to be able to run against teams that can't stop it, and the Horns held serve there on Saturday.

The receivers didn't have a great day with some drops on third down, and you would have liked to have seen the Horns come out in the second half with a little more fire, but they did what they needed to do and got out of town.

Colt McCoy tied former Georgia quarterback David Greene with his 42nd career victory, and has a chance to break it Saturday night in front of a national television audience.  The Horns also have the opportunity to lock up the Big 12 South.  Throw on top that it is Senior Day for a very accomplished group of seniors, and Saturday night at DKR should be very electric.

We'll be back on Wednesday, where we will look at the match-up for Texas/Kansas, Oklahoma/Texas Tech, and the battle for the North division crown, Kansas State/Nebraska.
