Baylor dominates Kansas 45-17 in Big 12 matchup
Baylor cruised to a 45-17 victory over Kansas in Week 14, with the Bears' defense stifling the Jayhawks' offense in the second half. Baylor jumped out to an early lead with a 14-point first quarter, including a 36-yard touchdown pass from Sawyer Robertson to Monaray Baldwin. The Bears extended their advantage to 21-10 by halftime, then put the game away with an explosive 21-point third quarter.
Kansas managed early offensive success, with Devin Neal breaking free for a 38-yard run in the first quarter, but the Jayhawks' momentum fizzled. Kansas scored just 10 points after the first quarter, unable to sustain drives against Baylor's defense. In the fourth quarter, Kansas' frustration mounted with two critical turnovers, including an interception by Jalon Daniels that resulted in a touchback.
Robertson led Baylor's passing attack with 310 yards, while Quentin Skinner paced Kansas receivers with 77 receiving yards. Richard Reese added 9 rushing yards for Baylor. The victory kept Baylor competitive in the Big 12 standings as the season winds down.
