No. 13 Oklahoma 42, Baylor 34: Landry Jones tossed two touchdowns and Damien Williams rushed for two others as the Sooners defeated the visiting Bears for the 21st time in 22 meetings.
Justin Brown reeled in six receptions for 83 yards and a score and Williams finished with 99 yards for Oklahoma (7-2, 5-1 Big 12), which rebounded from last season's 45-38 setback to Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and Baylor.
After Lache Seastrunk's second of three touchdowns brought the Bears (4-5, 1-5) within two at 28-26, Williams capped a 12-play, 75-yard drive by rumbling 17 yards for a score with 2:10 remaining in the third quarter.
Jones, who completed 25-of-36 for 277 yards, moved past Ty Detmer and into fourth place in NCAA history in passing yards. The senior has 15,070 in his career.
Blake Bell's 55-yard score 46 seconds into the fourth quarter provided suitable insurance for Oklahoma, which yielded Seastrunk's 6-yard touchdown with 1:26 remaining.
