Overview

  • Bryson Washington rushed for 135 yards with two touchdowns to pace the Bears' ground attack.
  • Sawyer Robertson went 23-of-37 for 211 yards and three scores, surpassing 1,000 passing yards for the season but throwing his first two interceptions.
  • A blocked punt on the opening series and multiple takeaways set up short fields as Baylor built a 35-7 halftime lead.
  • The offense sputtered after the break with one second-half touchdown, a stretch Dave Aranda said lacked focus and energy.
