Baylor overwhelmed Samford on Saturday, securing a convincing 42-7 victory in Week 3. The Bears controlled the game from the outset, scoring 14 points in the first quarter and 21 more in the second to establish an insurmountable lead. Samford's only touchdown came early when C.J. Evans connected with Torrey Ward for a 12-yard score, but the Bulldogs managed just seven total points across the remainder of the contest. Baylor's Sawyer Robertson led an efficient offensive attack, highlighted by touchdown passes to Louis Brown IV in the fourth quarter and completions to Josh Cameron in the second. Samford's Quincy Crittendon led the visiting offense with 59 passing yards, while Ken Cherry caught eight passes and Emerson Russell rushed for seven yards. Defensively, Gumbo Gaskins notched an interception for Samford in the third quarter. The game remained lopsided throughout, with Baylor's defense frustrating the Bulldogs consistently and the Bears adding a final touchdown in the fourth to seal the decisive victory.
