Baylor football avoided a three-game losing streak and held off a second half effort by the University of Kansas, winning 35-23 Saturday morning at McLane Stadium during Homecoming weekend.
The Bears (4-3, 2-2 Big 12) put their foot down early, as they hoisted a 28-3 lead over the Jayhawks (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) by halftime. But 20 unanswered second half points from KU cut Baylor’s lead with nearly six and a half minutes left in the game.
In a gut-check moment for the Bears, they responded with a seven-play, 69-yard drive to put the game away.
