Baylor leads 42-10 over the Rice Owls thanks to a defensive shutout in the second quarter and three touchdowns from junior receiver Corey Coleman. The return of starting linebacker Taylor Young provided a big spark for the Bears defense in the first half.
The Baylor defense was able to limit Rice to three points on the Owls’ opening drive. Rice threatened to score a touchdown early, but senior quarterback Driphus Jackson overthrew an open receiver in the end zone, forcing an Owls field goal.
Baylor wouldn’t trail for long, as they put together a seven play, 75 yard drive to take the lead 7-3.
