Longhorns hibernate Bears in final meeting between Texas, Baylor as Big 12 foes

Three first half rushing touchdowns from three different players combined with a stellar defensive effort propelled the third-ranked Texas Longhorns past the Baylor Bears, 38-6, in Waco on Saturday night. The game was significant because it was the 113th – and maybe final – meeting between the two regional rivals due to Texas’ move to the SEC after the season. 

The Longhorns looked like a team poised to exit the Big 12 with the championship belt after four games this season. Texas outclassed Baylor from the start as the Bears fell to 1-3 on the season despite playing their first four games at home. Texas returns home in Week 5 with a top 25 clash against Kansas. Baylor heads on the road for the first time this season for a must-win game against UCF.
