Cincinnati stormed past Baylor 41-20 at Nippert Stadium, racing to a commanding 24-0 lead behind early rushing touchdowns from Tawee Walker and Evan Pryor. The Bears fought back to make it 27-20 early in the fourth quarter, but Brendan Sorsby took over down the stretch with a 23-yard touchdown run and an 8-yard scoring strike to Isaiah Johnson to seal the victory. The Bearcats' balanced attack proved too much for Baylor, who couldn't overcome their slow start despite Sawyer Robertson accounting for all three Bears touchdowns.
