Slow start stings Baylor football, falls to No. 11 Utah, 23-12

By Foster Nicholas | Sports Writer

Baylor football fell behind early and failed to recover from a brutal start despite No. 11 Utah’s senior quarterback Cam Rising going down with an injury in the first half. The Utes never looked back after slapping 23 points on the scoreboard in the first half en route to a 23-12 victory over the Bears Saturday afternoon at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City.

After allowing 17 points and 151 total yards in the first quarter, the Bears (1-1) held the Utes (2-0) without another offensive touchdown and just 141 total yards for the rest of the game.
