Eight years ago, Baylor-West Virginia ended 70-63, and Mitt Romney battled Barack Obama for the presidency. If you transported someone from 2012 to Morgantown today, they’d think time travel had screwed everything up. But despite the radically different world, Baylor lost again in Morgantown. The Bears fell 27-21 in double overtime. Baylor is now 1-1 and will play in two weeks against Oklahoma State in Waco.
There are two big takeaways from this one. First, terrible officiating. And second, an awful offensive day by the Bears. Let’s start with the officiating. Down 14-7 with five minutes left, John Lovett ran on 4th and goal and appeared to cross the line.
