After falling behind 23-0 at halftime, Baylor couldn’t muster enough in the second half to beat Duke. The Blue Devils won 40-27. Baylor is now 2-1. The Bears take on Kansas at 2:30 next Saturday at McLane Stadium. That will air on FS1.
The first half started poorly. John Lovett fumbled, and Duke proceeded to score on 3rd and 7. The Bears had only three down defensive linemen and nobody defending the “B” gap on that play. The Blue Devils ran right through it for a touchdown.
The first half didn’t get any better. Jalen Hurd—really the only guy who could consistently get open in the first half—had too many drops.
