The Baylor Bears first fielded a football team in 1899. Baylor's greatest football success came under the leadership of head coach Grant Teaff, who took over a struggling Baylor team in 1972, and within two years managed to win the program's first Southwest Conference title since 1924. That season and the win that year over the rival Texas Longhorn team are still referred to as “the Miracle on the Brazos” after the river near Baylor campus. Teaff managed to put the Baylor Bears on the college football map, and the current squad looks to continue his legacy and hopefully even improve on it. The Bears play in the Big 12 Conference and have won over 8 conference championships. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Baylor Bears football tickets.

2016 Baylor Season Preview
The Baylor Bears concluded their 2015 season with 10 wins and 3 losses, including a win in the Russell Athletic Bowl against North Carolina where they ended the season as No. 4 in the Big 12. Baylor enters the 2016 season with a number of question marks, starting with the abrupt change in the head coach position. After eight years as the Bears head coach and taking earning a spot as a top Big 12 team, Art Briles was dismissed and replaced by interim head coach Jim Grobe. Baylor begins the 2016 season with only nine starters and the task of rebuilding both offensive and defensive side. The offense will be led by quarterback Seth Russell, who has proven to be an asset to Baylor. Russell will need to rely on the strongest position in the Bears' offense with running backs Shock Linwood, bowl game MVP, and Johnny Jefferson who had a 1,000 yard 2015 season. The Bears will have a lot of work to do to up their power on the defensive line with a less experienced team. The change in coaching has lowered the Bears' odds as a conference championship and a showing in the CFP, but they could surprise fans and come out as a stronger team. Exciting games on the Baylor Bears 2016 schedule will be against rival teams Texas Tech, TSU and Texas Longhorns.

From 1974-1992, the Bears won 10 games against Texas, one of the most successful runs of any team against the Longhorns during that period.
