Baylor could not respond until the second quarter, but it finally did with a 10-play, 87-yard drive capped off by junior quarterback Robert Griffin III running in the 1-yard touchdown.

Iowa State came back on its next drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to re-take the lead before Baylor tied things up again with a 15-yard pass from Griffin to senior receiver Kendall Wright.

The touchdown was Wright’s 8th of the season, which ties him for the second most receiving touchdowns for a single season in Baylor history. He is also the first Baylor receiver to have 3,000 yards in a career.
