Vanderbilt currently leads Baylor 21-17 at halftime in the Academy Sports + Outdoors Texas Bowl in Houston.
The Bears’ defense struggled against the Commodores’ big plays, but sophomore quarterback Charlie Brewer threw 11-15, connecting with six receivers for 153 passing yards and led Baylor’s rushing yards with 51.
Baylor takes on Vanderbilt minus leading senior wide receiver Jalen Hurd, who underwent knee surgery in early December, as well as two-time All-Big 12 senior punter Drew Galitz, who tore his ACL before the Texas Tech game on Nov.
