Texas looks to continue mastery of Baylor

Oct 20, 2007 - 10:37 AM No. 19 Texas (5-2) at Baylor (3-4) 12:30 pm EDT

WACO, Texas (Ticker) -- Texas coach Mack Brown certainly is pleased to be facing Baylor this weekend.

One week after an emphatic victory ended a four-game Big 12 Conference losing streak, Brown's 19th-ranked Longhorns try to continue their domination of intrastate foe Baylor on Saturday.

Texas (5-2, 1-2 Big 12 South) dropped its final two conference games last year and its first two this season before routing Iowa State in Ames last Saturday, 56-3. Colt McCoy threw for 298 yards and four touchdowns for the Longhorns in the romp.

The Longhorns lead the all-time series against Baylor, 70-22-4, and crushed the Bears in Austin last year, 63-31.

Texas has won nine straight over Baylor, including four straight in Waco, where it has outscored the Bears by a whopping 229-10 in that span. In fact, Baylor has been held scoreless over the last 10 quarters at home by Texas.

Baylor (3-4, 0-3 South) has dropped its last three games, all in Big 12 play, by at least 20 points. Last week, the Bears were crushed by host Kansas, 58-10.

Blake Szymanski was limited to 119 yards in the air and was intercepted three times in the blowout.
