Turnovers cost Bears in home loss to Longhorns

By Ben Everett | Sports Writer

Baylor football fell to Texas 38-7 Saturday at McLane Stadium to remain winless on the season.

The Bears’ (0-8, 0-5) three turnovers were not a season-high, but they came at costly times in the first half against a stout Longhorns’ (4-4, 3-2) defense.

The Baylor offense only put together one successful drive and accumulated a season low 249 yards as the Texas defense had its way for most of the afternoon.

On a third-and-eight during Baylor’s first possession, sophomore quarterback Zach Smith‘s pass slipped through the receiver’s fingers and was intercepted by Texas junior safety DeShon Elliott.
