Baylor beat Texas State 42-7 and avoided becoming another Top 25 team to lose at home to a Sun Belt Conference team.
Baylor running back Craig Williams runs against Texas State safety Jarron Morris during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Waco, Texas, Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022.WACO, Texas — Baylor quarterback Blake Shapen was racing untouched to the end zone while running back Richard Reese was being tackled in the backfield on fourth-and-1 just before halftime.
Shapen took off to the right after the fake handoff, and past a over-pursuing safety, for that 35-yard touchdown that came right after Texas State had closed to 14-7 on Layne Hatcher’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Ashtyn Hawkins with 1:59 left in the first half. It wrapped up a nine-play drive after the Bears started at their own 4. Craig Williams, a fifth-year junior nicknamed “Sqwirl” who had already had a 30-yard touchdown run, had muffed the kickoff.“Very pivotal moment for us,” Texas State coach Jake Spavital said. “We got it it to a one-score game with the ball coming out in the second half.”
Baylor jumped in front when Reese went straight up the middle for a 14-yard TD on the game’s opening drive. He added scores of 52 and 5 yards in the fourth quarter, giving him five rushing TDs in the Bears’ two home games.
