Robertson led the Bears to victory when they needed it most to help save their football season. Going into a bye week, Robertson and the Bears will look to keep the momentum going through motivation and preparation for the No. 17 Utah Utes (7-2), who arrive in Waco on Nov. 15.
Robertson will be challenged by the Utes. Utah has allowed 156 yards passing and an opponent’s completion rate of 50 percent this season.
The home crowd on the banks of the Brazos River will be loud and proud as the Bears look to continue their winning ways.
