Baylor football suffered its first loss of the season Saturday, falling 40-27 to the Duke Blue Devils at McLane Stadium.
The Bears got off to a strong start when freshman receiver Josh Fleeks returned the opening kickoff 41 yards to set up sophomore quarterback Charlie Brewer and the offense. After an eight-play, 26-yard drive, junior kicker Connor Martin missed a field goal attempt wide left.
Head coach Matt Rhule said Fleeks is a danger to opposing teams because of the talent he has when the ball is in his hands.
