Cougars halt Baylor comeback in OT for first Big 12 road win

Junior quarterback Donovan Smith clinched the Cougars’ first-ever Big 12 road win leading an overtime touchdown drive plus a two-point conversion. UH beat Baylor 25-24.

Baylor scored first in overtime with a one-yard touchdown run, giving the Bears their first lead of the game 24-17.

Set up at the Baylor 40 due to a penalty on the extra point, Smith led UH down the field to score a touchdown on a QB sneak. Head coach Dana Holgorsen elected to go for two and the win. Smith took the snap and kept the ball, running in the end zone for the win.
