Bears look to step up rushing game after struggles in San Antonio

By Adam Gibson | Sports Writer

Baylor head football coach Matt Rhule discussed the need for an improved running game at his weekly press conference on Monday afternoon. After defeating UTSA 37-20 Saturday night in San Antonio, the running game will be a major focus of the coaching staff moving forward.

In the win over the Roadrunners, the Bears had 494 total yards, but only 91 of those yards were from 31 rushing attempts. Only one of those attempts resulted in a touchdown that came with only 1:29 left in the fourth quarter off a 1-yard rush from junior running back JaMycal Hasty.
