Five impact players for Oklahoma State vs. Baylor

END OF THE THIRD QUARTER

Baylor scores two third quarter touchdowns to take the lead back 24-20. It wasn't a great quarter for the Pokes as the offense couldn't get anything going other than an early touchdown by Hubbard, and the defense couldn't stay off the field.

The two touchdowns from Baylor were on big time drives by Charlie Brewer and were aided by a couple of OSU penalties.

The highlight of the quarter was a fourth down fake punt pass by Tom Hutton to Dayton Metcalf that went for 20 yards leading to the three-yard touchdown by Chuba Hubbard.
