Caleb Douglas caught nine catches for 99 yards and three touchdowns
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Sawyer Robertson threw for a career-high five touchdowns — three to Josh Cameron — in his first visit to his hometown, leading Baylor to a stunning 59-35 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday.
Bryson Washington ran for two scores as the Bears ended an eight-game conference losing streak and stopped the Red Raiders' six-game home winning streak, their longest in 15 years.
Robertson, who started his career at Mississippi State as the 2020 Texas high school player of the year out of Lubbock, was 21 of 32 for 274 yards without an interception.
The Bears (3-4, 1-3 Big 12) scored their most points against an FBS opponent since a 61-6 victory over Kansas on Nov. 30, 2019.
Behren Morton finished 33 of 49 for 286 and three TDs but set up one of Baylor's scores with his first interception at home this season as the Red Raiders (5-2, 3-1) had a four-game winning streak stopped.
Washington scored twice from the half-yard line following long plays that were ruled touchdowns and overturned on review. The first was his 44-yard run in the first quarter. The second was Cameron's 73-yard punt return in the second quarter.
Cameron's first touchdown catch was a 6-yarder for a 24-14 Baylor lead with 4 seconds remaining in the first half. The second answered a Texas Tech TD to start the second half, and the last put the Bears up 52-21 early in the fourth quarter.
Texas Tech tight end Jalin Conyers threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Douglas after taking an inside handoff from Morton.
Washington ran for 116 yards on 10 carries, and Cameron had six catches for 75 yards.
Texas Tech's Tahj Brooks, who entered the game third nationally in rushing yards per game, had 125 yards and a 31-yard TD on 25 carries.

The Red Raiders travel to Fort Worth to face TCU Saturday. The time is still to be determined.
