Baylor and Texas wasted little time getting its offenses going in the first half.
After winning the toss, Baylor used just 66 seconds to score its first touchdown. Senior quarterback Seth Russell orchestrated the six play, 75-yard drive and capped it off with a 50-yard touchdown run, giving the Bears an early 7-0 lead.
However, the Longhorns answered immediately as freshman quarterback Shane Buechele found junior wide receiver Armanti Foreman for a 40-yard scoring strike, evening the score at seven.
Texas, after intercepting Russell’s first pass of the Bears’ second possession, took the lead on a 37-yard touchdown run by junior running back D’Onta Foreman, putting the Longhorns up, 14-7 early in the first quarter.
