WVU continues Morgantown dominance, defeats Baylor 43-40 in thriller

By Michael Haag | Sports Editor

In a wild showcase, Baylor football fell to West Virginia University 43-40 Thursday evening at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, W.Va., on a go-ahead 22-yard field goal.

The Bears (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) and Mountaineers (3-3, 1-2 Big 12) combined for nearly 1100 total yards in a back-and-forth battle. Neither team could maintain momentum the entire way, and Morgantown remains a winless voyage for Baylor, as it falls to 0-6 all-time.

Out of 25 total drives, there were only five punts between both teams.

Fifth-year senior linebacker and captain Dillon Doyle said the defense let the team down today.
