Baylor battled back from a 23-21 halftime deficit to take control of the game in the second half behind the strong rushing attack of sophomore running back Terence Williams and senior quarterback Seth Russell. However, it was the Texas Longhorns who persevered and pulled out a 35-34 win over Baylor after a game winning 39-yard field goal from senior kicker Trent Domingue.
Baylor’s defense had outscored its opponents 45-0 in the fourth quarter coming into the game, but Texas broke through, outscoring the Bears 9-3 in the final quarter.
“We had a great opportunity to win but again I don’t know how much it is the game got away from us but Texas just played good late,” said acting head coach Jim Grobe.
