FILE - In this Oct. 13, 2018, file photo, Baylor head coach Matt Rhule watches from the sideline during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Texas, in Austin, Texas. Rhule may have only been joking when he said he sometimes still wakes up in the middle of the night haunted by the memory of those highlight plays TCU’s Jalen Reagor made against the Bears last season. But that was in the last loss for the Bears, when Reagor pretty much single-handedly beat them by turning a screen pass into a 65-yard touchdown and running 37 yards for a score on a fourth-and-1 reverse.
