The Bears' offense was unable to convert.

Baylor was not able to reach the end zone one time. Part of the reason was Bears' quarterback Sawyer Robertson's inability to be consistent and accurate while under pressure. Texas' defense came to play and are hungry for a dominant season. With five total sacks on Robertson, two of which occurred on their opening drive, Baylor struggled with making plays while in an early hole.

Baylor's offensive line was unmatched against Texas' powerhouse defense.

Defensive veterans on the Longhorns like Byron Murphy II, Alfred Collins, and T’Vondre Sweat made it almost impossible for Baylor's o-line to assist on offense. With a total of eight tackles for loss, Texas' defense was too overwhelming for the Bears. Texas has arguably one of the best defenses in college football at the moment, so when placed up against an unranked team, like Baylor, it almost seems mismatched. 

The Bears had no room to run.

Baylor's leading rusher, RJ Martinez, had a total of 22 yards the entire night without a score. 

For Texas on the other hand, the majority of its points were from rushing into the end zone. Longhorns' running back Jonathon Brooks recorded two touchdowns and 106 rushing yards for the Horns.
