It had looked like Baylor was going to lose its third home game of the season, but the Bears did some magical things on Saturday to pull out a 35-34 win over Kansas State. Baylor found itself trailing 31-17 at the end of the third quarter, but a Sawyer Robertson TD pass and a Jacob Redding pick-six put the Bears right back into the game.

Kicker Connor Hawkins would drill a 53-yarder with just over a minute left in the game. However, Avery Johnson and KSU would drive the field to set up a long FG to win the game. But the Baylor special teams unit came up clutch with a block to seal the game.
