By Foster Nicholas | Sports Editor

WACO, Texas – With 22 transfers making their Baylor football debut, fresh faces wasted no time writing their way into the record book. Led by sixth-year senior quarterback Dequan Finn, four transfers each scored a touchdown to lead the Bears to a season-opening 45-3 win over Tarleton Saturday night on the 10th anniversary of their first game played at McLane Stadium.

The Bears lurched ahead to a 21-0 lead in the first quarter, with each touchdown scored by a newcomer. On the first drive of the game, Finn escaped the pocket and shifted his way to the end zone with a 39-yard touchdown carry.
