Football takes down Kansas in conference opener

By Adam Gibson | Sports Writer

Baylor football secured its third victory of the season and first Big 12 home win since 2016 with a 26-7 win over Kansas Saturday in McLane Stadium.

After a 40-27 loss to Duke on Sept. 15, Baylor head coach Matt Rhule and the Bears bounced back with a physical win over the Jayhawks. The defense held Kansas scoreless for every quarter but the third and locked down freshman running back Pooka Williams to under 100 yards after he had back-to-back 100 yard games. Rhule said he saw several veterans step up and make plays on defense which led to a more complete team win.
