Lagway throws 2 touchdown passes to help Baylor hold off Colorado 23-13 in Big 12 opener

WACO, Texas -- , DJ Lagway threw two touchdowns in his return to Baylor’s lineup, including the go-ahead score with 9:02 left as the Bears beat Colorado 23-13 in the Big 12 opener for both teams on Saturday. Lagway, the Florida transfer and Texas native, had missed the past two games since an ankle injury in a season-opening loss to Auburn in his Baylor debut. He completed 19 of 39 passes for 221 yards and interception against Colorado. Rhett Armstrong kicked three field goals for the Bears (3-1), whose three-game winning streak has pushed embattled seventh-year coach Dave Aranda’s record to 39-38 overall. Armstrong had kicks of 37 and 27 yards before making a 54-yarder with 4 1/2 minutes left. “There’s a lot to clean up, and there’s a lot that we’re still fighting to get right,” Aranda said. “But the thing I’m proud about is that fourth quarter.
