No. 11 Baylor football relies on defense for road win against KSU

By Michael Haag | Sports Writer

No. 11 Baylor football (9-2, 6-2 Big 12) defeated Kansas State University 20-10 Saturday night at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan. in a tight contest. The Bears now have four straight wins against the Wildcats (7-4, 4-4 Big 12), tying the longest win streak in matchup history.

Redshirt freshman quarterback Blake Shapen was forced to take over the offense late in the second quarter, due to a hamstring injury to junior quarterback Gerry Bohanon. Shapen had only thrown three career passes to this point, but was 16 of 21 for 137 yards after taking over.
