They are that longshot horse that everyone knows can run and will finish second but never win a race

Goodbye to Romance College Football
Baylor ran for 323 ypg vs TxSt, TxSo and KU and just 112 ypg in their two Big Xll games. 560 TY their first 3 and just 275 TY vs Big Xll.
Iowa State and Oklahoma St are likely the two best defenses in the league to date, so Baylor has had tough going there. Baylor had 89 1st H yards, finished with 280.
Spencer Sanders threw 3 INTs vs Baylor. The Bears O went 3-and-out after each INT.
With about 2min left in the game, OkSt was knocking on the door up 17-14 threatening to score a TD to ice the game, or get a FD inside the B05 to ice the game. Facing a 4th-and-2, Baylor had 12 men on the field, but called a timeout before the refs realized it. Gundy realized it and went nuts on the sideline as the penalty would've given OkSt a FD and allowed them to take knees and win by 3. Instead, OkSt ran on 4th-and-2 and got a 4y TD run to win 24-14.

Bijan Robinson was named Big Xll O POW for second time this year after getting 35 carries for 216y 2 TD and caught 2 for 22y (second most receiving yards on team). First Texas RB to go over 200y since 2016. Evans had a better ypc (7.5 - 6.2), but Evans only ran 15-113.
TCU lost 3 fumbles = 3 Texas FGS...a 4p 13y drive, a 4p 1y drive and a 7p 56y drive for FGs following those fumbles. Texas was SOD late at the TCU01 leading 32-20 before TCU scored very late to make the game look closer. There were some other "gifts" Texas got in the game. Texas appeared to be going 3-and-out at their own 7 yard line, but a targeting penalty kept the drive alive and Texas went on to score TD that possession. Each team kicked a pair of RZ FGs. TCU 50% 3rd down, Texas 40%

Anyone who was involved in the OU-K St full game or 2nd H spread knows the importance of the 93y Kansas St KO ret TD with just 1min 20 seconds left. OU (-7 2nd H) appeared to have outscored K St 24-14 in the 2nd H after kicking a 47y FG to go up 37-24 (OU -12.5 full game). OU had converted 3rd-and-8 which would've ended the game at 34-24, but were called for block in the back and had to kick FG which allowed K St to run that KO back. K St did outgain them 420-392. Skylar Thompson was pretty great in his return.
