HOUSTON -- Baylor made an impressive turnaround this season, winning six games after managing just one win in 2017.
The Bears (6-6) will try to cap their successful year with one more victory Thursday when they meet Vanderbilt (6-6) in the Texas Bowl.
"It's really important that we go out and play our best game," Baylor coach Matt Rhule said. "It's really important that we go out and show that we know how to win versus an SEC team and I hope we make that jump. But I think the real progress has been made over the last month, and I'm real proud of the work the guys have put in.
