AUSTIN, Texas -- The No. 3 Texas Longhorns have revealed the gameday trailer for Saturday's Big 12 opener against the Baylor Bears in Waco.

The Longhorns have dropped some heart-pumping trailers through three games this season, and delivered again this time around.

"We said from Day 1, we're on a mission," Texas coach Steve Sarkisian can be heard shouting at the start of the video. This certainly fits for Saturday, as its been Texas' spoken mission since the offseason to win the Big 12 in the final season in the conference. That all starts against Baylor.

Take a look at the trailer:

Texas and Baylor played the first game of the all-time series in 1901. The two programs have faced each other 111 times since then, with the Longhorns holding a commanding 80-28-4 series lead.

The Longhorns know that the Bears will have it out for them in what could be the final game of the long-standing in-state rivalry for quite some time.

"We understand the environment we’re walking into, and we can’t be fearful of that," Sarkisian said Monday. "We have to embrace it, we have to walk in there and be ourselves, and play our brand of football, but understand what we’re going into.”

It's well documented that Sarkisian wants his team to "embrace the hate" this season. And with Big 12 play now beginning, that approach could benefit the Longhorns as they look to navigate the negativity that each road matchup will bring from here on out.

“Now more than ever are there horns down,” Sarkisian said Monday. “Now more than ever are there ‘who cares about Texas? Let’s take one more shot at them on the way out.’ We can’t sit here and be a punching bag. We have to walk in there, be in attack mode, and make sure we’re built for the environment.”

The Longhorns and Bears will kickoff from Waco on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT.
