Baylor defense stifles Texas Tech 45-17

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

Just as the game appeared to be over, junior running back Qualan Jones put his head down and scored an exclamation point 17-yard touchdown to really rub it in with 45 seconds left.

That final punch made it 45-17, which is what Baylor football beat Texas Tech University by Saturday evening at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock. The Bears were once again led by freshman running back Richard Reese, as he continued his dominance.

Reese rushed a career-high 36 times for 148 yards and three scores.

However, one glaring difference from the Bears (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) was that they intercepted Texas Tech’s (4-4, 2-3 Big 12) quarterbacks five times.
