quartet combined to rush for 166 yards, to highlight a 38-27 win for the offense over the defense in the 2023 Green & Gold Game, presented by TFNB, on Saturday afternoon at McLane Stadium.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Bears split for an offense vs. defense format in their annual spring game, using the scrimmage as a way to wrap up a 15-practice spring season that started on March 21.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Baylor used a modified scoring system that rewarded the offense with normal scoring rules and also gave them two points for all explosive plays of 20 yards or more. The defense
could score points with touchdowns (six points), takeaways (three points), fourth-down stops (three points), sacks (two points), three-and-out stop (one point) and forced field goals inside the 25-yard line (one point).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">“This is the first time for me ever going offense versus defense,” Coach Dave Aranda said. “I’ve always been a part of just teams. And I think the advantage of doing this
is just the competitiveness of it. The two points for big plays on offense, there was some bantering going on throughout the week of how, ‘Dave, they’re getting points for these things, we’re just getting points for touchdowns.’ Right away, I think as a defensive
coach, when that plea is being bargained, you know you’re going to deal with double moves and just all these other things. But I think it just makes it more competitive, makes it more fun. And then, the offensive guys are getting on me because some of the
sacks were maybe questionable. We’re trying to keep it competitive.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The Bears totaled 319 yards and three TDs in the air and finished with 236 yards rushing, not accounting for sacks of quarterbacks, who were limited in contact allowable.
The game was played with normal timing rules in the first and second quarter and featured a running 30-minute clock in the second half.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Sawyer Robertson completed 9-of-16 passes for 170 yards and two scores, finding Jonathan Davidson on a 14-yard strike in the first half and letting Monaray Baldwin scoot
for a 57-yard score on a screen play in the second half. Blake Shapen was 11-for-20 for 100 yards and a TD, which featured a 29-yard scoring throw to tight end Drake Dabney. RJ Martinez was 4-for-7 for 49 yards, which was highlighted by a 28-yard completion
to freshman wide receiver Micah Gifford. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Tight end Jake Roberts had a team-leading five catches for 60 yards. Baldwin, Dabney and Davidson each had TD catches, with Baldwin nabbing three balls for 70 yards. Dabney
added three catches for 49 yards. In addition to Baldwin, Dabney, Davidson and Gifford, Cameron Bonner Josh Cameron, Jonah Burton, Ketron Jackson, Qualan Jones, Hal Presley and Kelsey Johnson each had catches.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">On the ground, the Bears featured 11 ball carriers, including six running backs. Freshman Bryson Washington toted it 11 times for 67 yards, junior Dominic Richardson had
eight carries for 46 yards and Richard Reese had 10 carries for 42 yards. Bonner had three rushes for 48 yards.

<p class="MsoBodyText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The defense totaled six sacks in the game, and the specialists saw Isaiah Hankins perfect in PATs and Jack Stone drill a 28-yard field goal in the second half.
