Though they faced a 28-point deficit midway through the third quarter, Baylor football wasn’t ready to call it quits.
The Bears scored 29 unanswered second-half points and defeated the UCF Knights 36-35 Saturday evening at FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando, Fla. Redshirt sophomore kicker Isaiah Hankins drilled the 25-yard game-winning boot to complete the largest comeback in program history.
