Baylor’s secondary played its best all-around game in years against the reigning conference champs Saturday, holding Arizona State to three red zone field goals before a fourth quarter breakdown led to a walkoff score.

The Sun Devils kicked a walk-off, 43-yard field goal to spoil the Bears’ Big 12 home opener. Sawyer Robertson tossed three touchdown passes and Michael Trigg made key plays down the stretch, but four turnovers proved too much to overcome.

The Bears struggled in the second half, but still won their final nonconference game in unquestioned fashion. Bryson Washington ran for two touchdowns and the defense forced three interceptions in the winning effort.

The Bears changed some defensive terminology and clarified some important position battles.
