Sports news from The Baylor Lariat.

I am absolutely thrilled with your decisions this year. Although the vast majority of America wants to see a playoff system and there are probably ways to have that make more money anyways, you guys have really stuck to your corrupt principles and kept the BCS Championship series.

The ninth-ranked Texas defense made statements all week, saying it would not let junior quarterback Robert Griffin III win the Heisman against it. In the 48-24 victory Saturday Floyd Casey Stadium, however, it was Baylor’s defense that made the difference.

Baylor looked to have control of this game, grabbing a 14-0 lead before the eight-minute mark in the first quarter. Junior quarterback Robert Griffin III found senior receiver Kendall Wright for a 59-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the game.

Senior running back Terrance Ganaway rushed a school-record 42 times for 246 yards and two touchdowns Saturday, leading Baylor (8-3, 5-3) to a 66-42 win over Texas Tech at Cowboys Stadium and earning him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.

The No. 1 Baylor Lady Bears continued to live up to their hype over the weekend as they defeated Pat Summitt’s No. 7 Lady Volunteers on the road in Knoxville 76-67.

Baylor can reach eight wins for the first time since 1991 with a victory over the Red Raiders, and get to five Big 12 Conference wins for the first time.
