Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Bears to a 45-17 victory over Kansas, marking their sixth straight win. Bryson Washington ran for 192 yards and two touchdowns, helping Baylor secure a spot in contention for the league championship game until Arizona State’s win later that day. Despite a three-game winning streak, Kansas struggled to stop Baylor’s offense, with Devin Neal running for 133 yards and a touchdown. Baylor coach Dave Aranda praised his team’s resilience throughout the season, while Kansas coach Lance Leipold expressed disappointment with their performance. Baylor’s remarkable turnaround in the second half of the season, following a shaky start with a 2-4 record, has solidified Aranda’s position as head coach.
The Bears capitalized on Baldwin’s impressive performance, catching two touchdown passes and finishing with 119 yards, in addition to Josh Cameron’s contributions with a touchdown and 102 receiving yards. Kansas showed promise in the first half, outgaining Baylor, but struggled to convert opportunities into points with missed field goals and turnovers. Baylor’s consistency and improvement throughout the season have positioned them well for a potential bowl game, while Kansas’ season comes to an end.
Looking ahead, Baylor awaits to see where they will play their bowl game, while Kansas reflects on a roller-coaster season filled with challenges and missed opportunities. Overall, Baylor’s dominant performance against Kansas highlights their growth and determination to finish the season on a high note.
