'Fireworks In Waco': Texas' Offense Lights Up Scoreboard, Defense Clamps Up In Win Over Baylor
It seems as if Texas fans are never pleased, but when the No. 4 Longhorns were held to just 10 points through three quarters against Wyoming there does seem to be a valid case for being upset.
Granted Texas poured on 21 points in the fourth quarter of the win last week, there were questions as to how they'd perform against Baylor in Week 4.
To say the offense had a fire under their you-know-what would be an understatement, as they went on to win by a score of 38-6.
With the game being 7-3 in favor of now-ranked No. 3 Texas heading into the second quarter, the offense exploded putting up three touchdowns before Baylor answered with a field goal.
All three scores came on the ground with Quinn Ewers showing off some speed, while CJ Baxter and Jonathon Brooks each added in a score of their own.

This gave Texas a 28-6 heading into the half, as the Longhorn defense continued to look like one of the best in the country.
Texas was able to hold Baylor to just 15 yards rushing in the first half and were living in the backfield all game as they recorded five sacks. Stud linebacker Jaylan Ford also added a clutch interception, which really took the wind out of Baylor's sails.
Ewers added to their lead later in the game with a strike to Xavier Worthy, and Texas was able to eventually put in backup Maalik Murphy.
While the Longhorns came in as favorites and were expected to win, Texas fans have to be thrilled at the fact that they didn't play down to an opponent like Baylor.
Following the win, Texas moves to 4-0 on the season and will return to Austin next week to take on a 4-0 Kansas team before their huge meeting with No. 16 Oklahoma.
