Richard Reese ran for two touchdowns, freshman Dawson Pendergrass added 111 yards and a score on his 21 carries and Baylor ended a six-game losing streak with a 30-7 win over FCS-member Long Island University on Saturday.
Baylor also ended a four-game losing streak at home, in a game that included a two-hour delay because of lightning in the area that first started when the teams were leaving the field at halftime. The Bears' last win overall was 38-35 at Oklahoma on Nov. 5, 2022.
The Bears had four scoring drives that lasted at least 10 plays, the last when Sawyer Robertson threw a 3-yard TD to tight end Drake Dabney with 5:41 left in the game. That was Dabney's third TD catch this season. Robertson completed 10-of-22 passes for 113 yards. It was the Mississippi State transfer's second game filling in for injured starting quarterback Blake Shapen, who is expected to miss at least one more game because of an MCL injury.
Reese carried it 12 times for 82 yards for the Bears, who played without leading rusher Dominic Richardson. The Bears finished with 251 yards rushing. After LIU stopped Baylor on downs right before halftime, quarterback Chris Howell scored on a 10-yard run to make it 16-7. The Sharks then recovered a fumble but gave the ball right back on an interception.Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
