The 2024 Texas Bowl serves up a New Year’s Eve treat for college football fans as the Baylor Bears and the LSU Tigers clash at NRG Stadium in Houston. With both teams entering the bowl with identical 8-4 records, this matchup has the potential for a closely contested and exciting game.
Baylor arrives in Houston boasting a six-game winning streak, fueled in part by the impressive performance of freshman running back Bryson Washington. Their recent surge suggests a team peaking at the right time, making them a dangerous opponent for any bowl contender.
LSU, despite sharing the same 8-4 record as Baylor, enters the Texas Bowl with a different trajectory. Both teams have faced their share of challenges, each with three losses against ranked opponents. This shared experience adds a degree of parity to the matchup.
The Texas Bowl, successor to the now-defunct Houston Bowl, continues the city’s tradition of hosting prominent postseason college football. This New Year’s Eve game offers a fitting end to the college football season and a chance for both teams to end the year with a victory. The game kicks off Tuesday, December 31st at 3:30 PM EST on ESPN.
