Baylor at Texas 10/13/18 - College Football Picks & Predictions

The Baylor Bears (4 - 2, 2 - 1 CONF) are hitting the road for a matchup against the #19 Texas Longhorns (5 - 1, 3 - 0 CONF). Texas will be hosting this game at the Royal Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, TX. Baylor comes into this matchup having just scored a nail biting win over KSU. Texas comes to town having won four in a row including an upset win over #7 Oklahoma last week. Texas should be amped up to score another win in a suddenly resurgent season.

The Baylor Bears have struggled on defense this season and they are giving up 32 PPG to opposing squads. Baylor's struggles stopping the run could be the difference in this game. Baylor is scoring 36 PPG on offense while racking up nearly 500 total yards of offense per game. Baylor needs to score more efficiently if they want to keep the pace with Texas throughout two halves of football. Texas comes to town with a balanced offense and a defense that bends but never breaks completely. Texas is scoring 32 PPG on offense this year behind the big arm of QB Sam Ehlinger(1,499 yards, 11 TD, 2 INT). Ehlinger has played relatively flawless football and he should be primed to carve up the Baylor secondary. Texas has only given up more than 21 points a single time this season, last week against Oklahoma.
