WACO, Texas (AP) - Dane King threw two touchdown passes in a 42-second span of the fourth quarter to secure Baylor's 37-14 victory over North Texas on Saturday night.

Baylor (2-1) of the Big 12 Conference avenged a 52-14 loss to North Texas (0-4) last year.

King's 7-yard scoring pass to Dominique Zeigler was quickly followed by a 40-yard TD pass to Marques Roberts with 14:08 left to put the Mean Green away.

Baylor built a 17-14 lead in a wild first half that included a blocked punt for a touchdown.

North Texas of the Sun Belt Conference struck for a touchdown on its first possession, a 67-yard strike from Scott Hall to a wide-open Johnny Quinn.

Freshman Braelon Davis blocked Brad Kadlubar's punt and recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown to quickly tie the score for the Bears.

Paul Mosley's 10-yard run after a 20-yard pass from King to Trent Shelton put Baylor ahead 14-7.

Hall and Quinn hooked up for a 33-yard pass to position the Mean Green for Jeramy Thomas' 43-yard touchdown run. Thomas, who gained a North Texas freshman record 247 yards against Colorado last week, left in the third quarter with a hamstring injury.

Thomas was filling in for the injured Patrick Cobs, who ran for 131 yards against Baylor last year and went on to claim the NCAA Division I-A rushing title.

Kenny Web's 25-yard field goal handed Baylor the slim halftime edge. He added 37-yarder in the third period and a 38-yarder in the fourth.

Baylor is 12-1 all-time against North Texas, which dropped to 3-17 against Big 12 schools. The Mean Green also has losses to Texas and Colorado this year.
