Baylor News
Baylor rocked college football and stunned the nation with its 52-24 demolition of the No. 1 team in the nation Saturday evening. The Bears, however, weren’t all that surprised.
“All week we believed we were going to beat them, and we weren’t going to be surprised when it happened,” senior quarterback Nick Florence said.
Belief was the key word for Baylor under the lights, filling the gaps for a football team that has been lack luster all season.
This time last season, Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III had his “Heisman moment” with the 34-yard touchdown pass to defeat No. 5 Oklahoma 45-38.
No. 1 Baylor’s 42-game win streak was brought to a close with a 71-69 loss to No. 4 Stanford in the first round of the Wahine Classic in Hawaii.
Junior point guard Odyssey Sims left the game in the first half with a hamstring injury and never returned.
