Jonathon Brooks ran for two touchdowns and No. 3 Texas got a dominant game from its defense to overpower Baylor in a 38-6 win Saturday night to launch the Longhorns into their final Big 12 season.
Texas will join the Southeastern Conference next year and will be finishing out the Big 12 with several last matchups with old rivals. The game was the 113th meeting between the Longhorns and Bears and the final one for the foreseeable future in a series that dates to 1901.The Longhorns made quick work of the Bears with an explosive first half that included a 40-yard touchdown run from Brooks and a 29-yard scoring run from quarterback Quinn Ewers.
The Longhorns final slate of games in the Big 12 has been unofficially dubbed the “Embrace the Hate” tour and the first game drew a sellout crowd. Baylor fans lustily booed “The Eyes of Texas” song by the Longhorn band before the game', but many were leaving for the exits by the start of the fourth quarter.
Brooks' long touchdown run and Ewers' scrambling run to the end zone broke the Bears. Ewers had nearly thrown an interception the play before and seemed to have nowhere to throw when he took off running. He ducked around one blocker at the sideline and had a clear path to the end zone. Texas led 28-6 by halftime. Two Baylor drives inside the Texas 5 in the third and fourth quarters ended with no points when Robertson threw an interception in the end zone and then was sacked on fourth down. Robertson was sacked five times.Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
