Ole Miss to open 2020 season vs. Baylor in Houston

NRG Stadium is the home of the NFL’s Houston Texans.

Ole Miss is going to open the 2016 season against Florida State in Orlando and opened its 2014 season at the Georgia Dome with a dominant 35-13 win over Boise State.

A tough non-conference opponent is a big change for Baylor. The Bears have been criticized for their tissue-soft non-conference schedules. They haven’t played a Power Five team in a non-conference game since meeting Wake Forest in 2009, and they aren’t scheduled to play a non-conference regular-season game against such an opponent until 2017, when they meet Duke.
