Bears fall short in Austin in defensive showdown with Longhorns

By Adam Gibson | Sports Writer

AUSTIN, Texas – Since 2014, Baylor football hasn’t found a way to defeat the University of Texas, and that continued today for the (4-3, 2-2) Bears who, with seconds left on the clock were unable to score after multiple attempts, lost 23-17 to the No. 9-ranked Longhorns Saturday in Austin.

After the loss, head coach Matt Rhule said failing to pull off the last-minute win took a toll on the players and the opportunities were there for the team to take the lead.

“Kids are beat up emotionally right now,” Rhule said.
