Bennett totals 3 TDs in Baylor’s 44-3 win over Prairie View A&M

WACO, Texas -- , Backup quarterback Nate Bennett threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score to lead Baylor to a 44-3 victory over Prairie View A&M on Saturday night. Bennett started in place of Florida transfer quarterback DJ Lagway , who was ruled out pregame with an ankle injury he suffered in the Bears’ 17-16 loss to Auburn last week in the season opener. “His preparation was right on , real confident dude,” Baylor coach Dave Aranda said of Bennett. “His attention to detail and his routine throughout the week couldn’t be any better. … His preparation put him in position to play fast and play free, which he did. I didn’t see a lot of thinking out there or a lot of double-guessing or any of those things.” Baylor (1-1) scored points on six of its first seven drives, including four TDs and two field goals, to build a 34-3 halftime lead.
