  "account": "WACO, Texas (AP) — Backup quarterback Nate Bennett led Baylor to a dominant 44-3 victory over Prairie View A&M on Saturday night. Bennett threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score during the game. The freshman started in place of Florida transfer quarterback DJ Lagway, who left the game early due to an ankle injury he sustained during Baylor's season opener against Auburn. Baylor's offense dominated, scoring points on six of their first seven drives, including four touchdowns and two field goals, which led to a 34-3 halftime score. Prairie View A&M, making their first appearance against Baylor, struggled to maintain drives, averaging just 2.1 yards per play and punting nine times. The Panthers managed only 110 yards of offense throughout the game. Bennett connected on 23 of 35 passes for 301 yards, including two touchdown passes of 33 and 22 yards, and added a 17-yard rushing score. Despite throwing two interceptions, he was the primary contributor to Baylor's impressive performance. Baylor's wide receiver Gavin Freeman, who transferred from Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, caught 10 passes for 104 yards. The Bears' defense was also formidable, holding Prairie View A&M to just 28 points in the first half and recording no interceptions in their previous two games. Following the game, Baylor's defensive lineman Devonte Tezino suffered a lower leg injury and was carted off the field, but he did not return for the remainder of the contest. Prairie View A&M next hosts Stephen F. Austin next Saturday night, while Baylor will face Louisiana Tech in a Saturday afternoon game.",
