Baylor football (7-1, 4-1) defeated the University of Texas 31-24 in a roller coaster of a matchup Saturday afternoon at McLane Stadium. The Longhorns (4-4, 2-3) were leading 21-10 early in the second half, but the Bears put up 14 points in the fourth quarter to secure the victory and remain undefeated at home this season. Senior running back Abram Smith led the way rushing, with 20 carries for 113 yards and one score.

Smith and senior hybrid safety Jalen Pitre said after the game that the crowd noise was incredible.
