COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (AP) -- Texas A&M's touchdown drought is over.

Randy McCown revived Texas A&M's dormant offense with three third-quarter touchdown passes Saturday as the Aggies (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 13 AP) rebounded from their first loss of the season with a 45-13 victory over Baylor.

The Aggies had gone 10 quarters without an offensive score.

"All of us were relieved to finally get some touchdowns," said A&M coach R.C. Slocum. "It had been annoying for us for the last few weeks. We had to live with questions why the offense hadn't been scoring. We had no definitive answer for it until today."

Safety Michael Jameson returned an interception for a touchdown and blocked a punt that produced another score as the Aggies (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) opened a 17-6 halftime lead.

Then came the offensive touchdown avalanche.

McCown hit fullback Ja'Mar Toombs with a 26-yard swing pass for a touchdown, found Leroy Hodge on a 12-yard scoring strike, and threw a 74-yard touchdown pass to Bethel Johnson in the third quarter as A&M beat Baylor (1-5, 0-2) for the ninth consecutive time.

The TD pass to Toombs was the first touchdown for A&M's offense in 32 possessions. The Aggies were coming off last week's 21-19 loss to Texas Tech.

"Finally, we came out and got it into the end zone," said McCown. "We got that pressure off our backs. We're ready to play football now. We had to prove something to ourselves as a team. "

"We finally had some big plays," Slocum added. "I still think we can have a pretty good offense."

Kyle Atteberry's career-long 52-yard field goal put Baylor ahead 3-0, but Jameson dashed 20 yards with a wayward Jermaine Alfred pass to put the Aggies ahead 7-3.

The teams traded field goals -- a 23-yarder by Atteberry and a 27-yarder by A&M's Terence Kitchens -- before Jameson struck again.

He broke through untouched to block Atteberry's punt at the Baylor 22. Six plays later, freshman Joe Weber scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 7-yard run. Weber got his chance because Dante Hall, the Aggies' top-rusher, hurt his back lifting weights and didn't play.

Baylor blew a chance for another score when Daniel Wilturner intercepted a pass and returned it 49 yards before he was tackled by quarterback McCown with two seconds left in the first half. Atteberry then missed a 27-yard field goal.

"That was a bit turning point because we had a chance to keep the score close at halftime," said Baylor coach Kevin Steele. "We came out fighting and gave it our best. But we just broke down and made too many mistakes against a good team like A&M. We got breaks and didn't get points. They got breaks and scored points. That was the difference."

However, Wilturner scored in the fourth period when Gary Baxter blocked a Kitchens field goal attempt and Wilturner picked up the ball and returned it 63 yards.

"We made some big plays," Wilturner said. "We just didn't convert some of them."
