Around the Big 12: Regular season finale
With a spot in the Big 12 title game on the line, Kenny Hill and company played one of their more complete games of the season. Hill threw for 325 yards, tossed 3 touchdowns and ran for another. Garry Patterson’s defense forced 3 Baylor turnovers and held the Bears to just 3 second half points. The first half, however, was more intriguing. Baylor actually jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first quarter, and only trailed 21-19 at halftime. Charlie Brewer threw for over 300 yards, including 2 touchdowns, and was also the leading rusher for the Bears. The Horned Frogs victory earned them the chance to redeem their loss earlier this season to Oklahoma when they face them in the Big 12 championship.
