WACO, Texas — Jaylon Glover scored on an 11-yard run with 17 seconds left for Utah’s second touchdown in the final two minutes, and the 12th-ranked Utes escaped Baylor with a 20-13 win Saturday in a matchup of future Big 12 foes both missing their starting quarterbacks.

Utah’s winning drive was set up at the Baylor 29 after Cole Bishop’s interception on a pass Sawyer Robertson threw under pressure.

“Great job by our fellas finding a way to win,” Utes coach Kyle Whittingham said. “There’s a way to win every single game. And you’ve just got to figure out what that is.”

The Utes (2-0) had tied the game at 13-13 with 1:59 left when redshirt freshman quarterback Nate Johnson scored on a 7-yard draw. That capped an 88-yard drive when he 20 yards rushing and completed 4 of 5 passes for 57 yards after getting a chance to take over the offense.

Johnson, who had several snaps along with Bryson Barnes throughout the game, said he does his best to stay ready, “just step in, trust in the game plan, trust the calls, trust in our offense and trust in God. And he blessed us to come out with a win.”

The game was scheduled eight years ago, and the first meeting of the teams wound up being a Big 12 preview. Utah, which has won the last two Pac-12 championship games and is hoping for even more in coach Whittingham’s 19th season, is one of four teams from the picked-apart Pac-12 going to the Big 12 next year.

Baylor (0-2) had one more chance to tie the game, with one second left after Robertson’s 47-yard pass to Hal Presley to the Utah 22. But the final pass into the end zone was incomplete.

The Utes were again without Cam Rising, their starter each of the past two seasons, who is still recovering from a torn ACL in the Rose Bowl eight months ago. He was cleared to do more at practice in this week, but Utah stuck with Barnes and Johnson as it did in a season-opening 24-11 win over Florida. Barnes started again and was 6 of 19 passing for 71 yards.

Baylor, the Big 12 champion only two seasons ago, has lost six games in a row dating to last season. When coach Dave Aranda was asked if the Bears could recover from the skid, he said he believed so.

“That’s kind of the path that’s ahead of us,” Aranda said. “We always kind of talk about you have to go down before you go up. You know, it’s easier to talk about than to go through it. But that’s where we’re at.”

Mississippi State transfer Robertson, who completed 12 of 28 passes for 218 yards and had two interceptions, had a 4-yard keeper with 3:23 left in the first half for Baylor’s only touchdown.
