After knocking Baylor's last quarterback out of the game, Texas jumped to a 20-0 lead in Waco, then held on in the second half to knock off the No. 12 Bears, 23-17.
Baylor third-string QB Chris Johnson took a hard hit and fumbled with 2 minutes left in the first quarter, and was removed from the game for good with concussion-like symptoms. With the Bears’ only other two quarterbacks, Seth Russell and Jarrett Stidham, already out with injuries, Baylor was forced to insert receiver Lynx Hawthorne, who last played QB his junior year of high school, in behind center.
