The recurrent storyline that doesn’t go away whenever the Texas football program meets up with the Baylor Bears is the lack of a certain offer for a quarterback. That aforementioned quarterback is Baylor’s junior standout Charlie Brewer, who seems to take to the forefront in his last two matchups against Texas.
During the 2017 recruiting cycle, Texas was between two head coaches and was completely seeking out a new direction for the program. The Texas Longhorns football program was between letting go of former head coach Charlie Strong and trying to win current head coach Tom Herman over from the grasp of the LSU Tigers.
