Longhorn Minute: 3-4 status and injured quarterbacks
The Texas Longhorns are currently three and four after losing to Oklahoma State. They are set to face the winless Baylor Bears on the road. Despite Baylor's poor record, the Longhorns should not be overconfident. The discussion shifts to Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who is in concussion protocol after being hit hard in the previous game. There are concerns about his health and whether he should play even if cleared. The speakers suggest starting Shane Buechele instead and possibly using Jerrod Heard in a Wildcat formation. They emphasize the importance of protecting Ehlinger's health, despite the team's urgent need for a win. The Longhorns' defense is praised, but the team's overall performance remains uncertain.
