HOUSTON — Redshirt junior quarterback Sawyer Robertson threw for a career-high 445 yards on 30-of-51 passes, but a handful of self-inflicted wounds ate away at Baylor football’s chances to knock off LSU as they fell to the Tigers in the Kinder’s Texas Bowl, 44-31, Tuesday afternoon at NRG Stadium.
Head coach Dave Aranda saw the Bears (8-5) convert just one of six fourth down attempts against his former team, resulting in six of 13 drives ending in turnovers. The Tigers (9-4) earned their first bowl win over the green and gold, making up for losses in the 1985 Liberty Bowl and 1963 Bluebonnet Bowl.
