WACO, Texas — Robert Griffin III continued his incredible feat of throwing more touchdown passes than incompletions, tossing for five scores and running for another to lead No. 17 Baylor to a 56-31 victory over Rice on Saturday night.
Griffin was 29 of 33 for 338 yards, upping his season totals to 13 touchdowns and 12 incompletions. He came into the game leading the nation in passing efficiency and third in total yards.
Griffin ran for 51 yards and even punted once, on a quick kick, for 39 yards. He led Baylor to touchdowns on five straight drives in the first half, putting the Bears (3-0) ahead 35-7.
Rice (1-2) was coming off a win against Purdue, its first against a team from a BCS conference since 2001, but never made this game close.
