Entering 2009’s Texas vs Baylor matchup, Mack Brown had never lost to the Bears, enduring an 11 game winning streak. When the game took place in Waco, the Longhorns were winning by an average of 48.0 points.
That season would be no different, as the eventual Big 12 champions embarrassed the hosts, 47-14. All 14 of Baylor’s points were scored in the latter half of the fourth quarter after the backups were already in.
Winning the game itself was nothing special. The 2009 Texas team was punishing teams week in and week out. Outside of the Red River Shootout against Oklahoma, no regular-season game was decided by less than 10 points.
What made it an important day was Colt McCoy tying the NCAA record for the most wins as a starting quarterback. Since the day McCoy started as a true freshman in 2006, all he did was win. After the Baylor game, he possessed a 42-7 record.
Winning four out of four games against the Bears in his career, Oklahoma State is the only other school to suffer the same fate. McCoy dominated Baylor every single year, throwing for 14 touchdowns over the four years.
As for the game itself, McCoy finished with 181 passing yards and two touchdowns on 23 of 34 passing. He connected with his roommate and go to target Jordan Shipley six times for 46 yards and both touchdowns.
Here are the game highlights:
McCoy would go on to win three more games in the 2009 season to finish to set the record for the most NCAA wins as a starting quarterback with 45. It would stand for two seasons until Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore won 50 games and only lost three.
