Game Log: No. 4 TCU Beats Baylor at the Buzzer
The No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs continue their push towards the College Football Playoff as they take on the Baylor Bears in Waco, continuing the most played college football game in Texas state history.
TCU leads the all-time series 57-53-1 and have won six of the last seven games in the series. The Bears are hoping to return the favor of knocking TCU out of playoff contention after the Horned Frogs did the same to them with a 30-28 upset victory in Fort Worth in 2021.
While the Horned Frogs notably come in at 10-0 on the year, the Bears have stumbled to a 6-4 mark, having lost 31-3 to the Kansas State Wildcats on the same field last Saturday. Without much to play for on paper, senior linebacker Bryson Jackson said Saturday's game is a chance to show fans "what Baylor football is all about."
TCU won the toss and deferred to the second half and Baylor will receive to start the game.
