Stoic, phlegmatic and impassive. As a last-ditch field goal by the Knights (3-2, 0-2 Big 12) drifted away from the uprights and the clock hit double zeros, head coach Dave Aranda put his head down, walked to midfield and shook hands with UCF head coach Gus Malzahn as if there had never been a doubt.

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.

“We always kind of talk about how you have to go down before you go up,” Aranda said. “It’s easier to talk about than to go through that. But that’s where we’re at.

But we have the makings of a good team.”
