Baylor QB Blake Shapen not expected to play against Texas

The Baylor Bears will likely be without redshirt junior starting quarterback Blake Shapen for a third straight game when the No. 3 Texas Longhorns travel up I-35 to Waco for Saturday’s primetime matchup at McLane Stadium, Baylor head coach Dave Aranda said on Monday — Aranda believes that Shapen is “about a week out and I don’t expect him in this game.”

Shapen was 21-of-31 passing for 303 yards and two touchdowns in Baylor’s season-opening loss to Texas State, but was sacked twice and took several other big hits that caused an MCL injury that knocked him out of the game and was initially thought to keep him out for two weeks.
