No. 9 Texas survives Baylor, 23-17, with last-second defensive stand

The first potential game-winning pass went through the hands of Brandon Jones. The second landed harmlessly out of bounds beyond the end zone. So did the third.

With the incomplete pass, the No. 9 Texas Longhorns survived a late comeback attempt by the Baylor Bears at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday to move to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in Big 12 play.

There were missed field goals — two in the second half by freshman kicker Cameron Dicker, last weekend’s hero in the Cotton Bowl.

There was a big injury, as sophomore quarterback Sam Ehlinger suffered a shoulder injury on the game’s first drive and did not return.
