Conference play is here for Baylor football, and it begins with a test against a No. 3 Texas team that’s off to its hottest start since 2012. The Bears will be without starting redshirt junior quarterback Blake Shapen for the third-consecutive week, and it comes against a longtime rival that they likely won’t see again for a while.
