Texas junior quarterback Colt McCoy passed for 300 yards and five touchdowns.

The Bears have lost 17 straight games against ranked teams over the past five seasons, by an average margin of four touchdowns.

Baylor had tied the game with a pair of five-play scoring drives, one covering only 6 yards and the other 96.

Undeterred and untouched while blitzing, safety Jake LaMar had a crushing hit on McCoy as he let go of the pass. Krys Buerck picked it off and returned it 46 yards to the 6. A pass interference penalty put Baylor at the 2, and Griffin scored on a 1-yard run.

Griffin’s 55-yard TD pass to Wright came after a 34-yard gain by Wright on a lateral and Griffin’s 17-yard keeper.

On the opening drive of the game, McCoy rolled out of the pocket and motioned to Cosby, who got behind two defenders. Cosby then had three catches for 35 yards on the next drive before McCoy bootlegged right on second-and-goal from the 1 and hit wide-open tight end Greg Smith.

“There are a lot of positives we can take away from this, because it’s a win,” McCoy said. “That got us back on track.”
