Baylor football holds a 38-20 lead over Abilene Christian at halftime of the season opener.
Senior quarterback Jalan McClendon leads the Bears with 163 passing yards and two touchdowns. Junior running back JaMycal Hasty has 70 rushing yards and two scores as well.
Despite a 13-yard carry by Hasty, Baylor’s first offensive possession fizzled out when sophomore quarterback Charlie Brewer missed senior wide receiver Jalen Hurd on a slant as the Bears were forced to punt.
Senior safety Verkedric Vaughns stuffed a short pass by ACU sophomore quarterback Luke Anthony to prompt a Wildcat punt and give Baylor the ball near midfield.
