Baylor players couldn’t contain their excitement when Gavin Holmes weaved through the defense and broke free for the end zone on a punt return in the season opener. Their celebration was more about the sixth-year player who scored than the 72-yard touchdown itself. Fifth-year cornerback Mark Milton says he was at a loss for words. Holmes missed all of the Bears’ Big 12 championship season last year because of a broken right foot. That was after he was limited to one game during a two-season span when he twice tore the ACL in his left knee. Ninth-ranked Baylor is at No. 21 BYU on Saturday night.
