Baylor football can finally say it beat the Oklahoma State Cowboys, 41-34.

“Last year, we had a great season, outstanding season, Heisman trophy winner and all that kind of stuff, but I wouldn’t trade this season for the world,” sophomore nickel back Ahmad Dixon said. “These seniors and these other guys that are here with me, we have grown tremendously, speaking for myself not just as a football player but as a young man. These guys, in our down times have taught me so much. Looking to these guys when I needed them, I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Last season, the Baylor men’s basketball team fell in the Elite Eight to the eventual national champion Kentucky Wildcats.

Even though every starter from that Kentucky team is gone, the Bears will still get their shot at revenge at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in Lexington, Ky.

The Bears have stumbled out of the gate so far with a 4-2 record.

No one on this Baylor football team has ever beaten the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

“To beat them would be a great wrap up to my career,” senior wide receiver Terrance Williams said. “OSU is a team that we as a senior class haven’t beaten yet, so to beat them here would be a great wrap- up.”

Baylor’s last win against Oklahoma State came in 2005, a 44-34 victory.

Soccer can be relentless sometimes. A team can outplay its opponent all game, but one goal can change things dramatically. Such is the way it went for the No. 11 Baylor women’s soccer team against the No.13 University of North Carolina on Nov. 18 in the Sweet Sixteen.

The Baylor volleyball team’s season is officially over after a regular season in which the Bears earned 20 wins and just 12 losses.

This season is just the sixth time in program history that the Bears reached the 20-win mark.

It is the second time that the team has won at least 20 matches under head coach Jim Barnes.

Baylor football clinched a historic third consecutive bowl bid this season by defeating Texas Tech in overtime 52-45 on Saturday.

The Bears are on a hot streak with three wins in the past four games. When it counts the most, Baylor is playing its best football late in the season.

In November and December of the past two seasons, Baylor is nearly perfect with a 9-1 record.

A sea of burgundy and gold overwhelmed Cowboys Stadium and waves of “RG3” chants poured out of the hole in the roof.

Thursday was a homecoming for former Baylor and Heisman-winning quarterback Robert Griffin III as he returned to the Lone Star State as a member of the Washington Redskins.

“It was good to be back in Texas, where I have that feeling of being home and where I spent so many years,” Griffin said.

Arlington was Redskin country, if only for a few hours.

Baylor’s dramatic 52-45 win on Saturday over Texas Tech wasn’t easy.

After three missed field goal attempts going into overtime, the Bears’ chances at a bowl game appearance looked grim.

“Baylor’s kind of like the Israelites that wandered in the desert for 40 years,” Houston senior Matthew Morgan said. “So based on history, I wouldn’t [have been] surprised if we didn’t make it because our defense is more lame than Congress right now and doesn’t usually get anything done. So I really thought we were done. Doneskis. Put a fork in us.”
