With a last-second 23-17 win over the Baylor Bears on Saturday evening, the Texas Longhorns secured their sixth consecutive win after slumping out of the gates and falling to Maryland in the season-opener.
Far more notable than the sheer six-game inning streak, though, is that the Longhorns are now celebrating their sixth win, which means a post-season is now assured, as Texas is bowl eligible for the second time in two seasons under Tom Herman.
Through seven games, that reality this soon likely isn’t something many projected entering the 2018 slate, especially considering the general expectation was an 8-4 regular season finish.
