WACO, Texas — The Nebraska Cornhuskers rolled into McLane Stadium and handed the Baylor Bears a punishing 38-14 loss in front of a stunned home crowd. From start to finish, Nebraska’s defense set the tone, completely overwhelming Baylor and never allowing the Bears to find any rhythm on offense.
Baylor struggled mightily to move the ball, as Nebraska’s relentless pressure up front and tight coverage in the secondary left the Bears searching for answers all night. Time and again, Baylor drives were derailed by sacks, hurried throws, and well-timed stops on third down. Nebraska’s defense dictated the pace, forced mistakes, and shut the door on any hopes of a Baylor comeback.
After a brief flicker of life in the second quarter, when Baylor managed to reach the end zone twice, Nebraska quickly reasserted control. The second half belonged entirely to the Cornhuskers, who shut out the Bears after halftime and never let them back into the game.
Meanwhile, Nebraska’s offense played with poise and control, steadily building a lead and capitalizing on Baylor’s miscues. Though not flashy, the Cornhuskers were efficient and physical, wearing down the Baylor defense and maintaining control of the game.
It was a humbling loss for Baylor, who simply had no answers for Nebraska’s intensity, execution, and defensive dominance. The Bears now face tough questions moving forward, while Nebraska walks away with a convincing road win and a clear message sent.
