Ten years from kicker Chris Callahan’s historic last-second game-winning field goal to knock off TCU 61-58, redshirt junior kicker Isaiah Hankins replicated the magic with a 33-yard field goal as time expired to help Baylor football knock off their in-state rival, 37-34, on Saturday night at McLane Stadium.

The Biletnikoff Award is given to the season’s most outstanding receiver, with the most recent winner being Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. Winning the praise wouldn’t be new for a Bear, as in 2015, Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman took home the hardware.
