Bears claw their way to victory in dramatic Big 12 Championship finish

By Marquis Cooley | Sports Editor

No. 9 Baylor football etched their name into the history books Saturday with a 21-16 win over No. 5 Oklahoma State University in the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington. Despite the Bears leading wire-wire, it was a game that will be remembered by the Baylor community for decades to come as it took a goal line stand at the end of the fourth quarter to give the Bears their first Big 12 title game victory and third conference championship.

“It has been a real treasure for me just to see the growth of our team off the field and how that relates to on the field so that we can win those hard-to-win games,” head coach Dave Aranda said.
