Texas Longhorns starting quarterback Sam Ehlinger and center Zach Shackelford will miss the Longhorns' game at Baylor on Saturday, the team announced.

Both players were in concussion protocol this week following the Longhorns' 13-10 loss to Oklahoma State, according to coach Tom Herman. Neither were cleared to play on Saturday and did not make the trip to Waco, Texas for the game on Friday. Both missed practice on Thursday.

Sophomore quarterback Shane Buechele will start vs. Baylor in Ehlinger's place. He was the Longhorns' starter in 2016 and started twice this season -- the Longhorns' the season-opening loss against Maryland and their 27-7 win at Iowa State.
