Texas Tech snatches defeat from the jaws of victory against Baylor

Texas Tech had Baylor on their own one yard line with 100 seconds left in regulation. They had the Bears backed up to a 2nd and 18 in the first overtime, and crossed inside the Baylor 30 on all but one of their second half drives. Almost every stat from Saturday’s game made it seem like Texas Tech would find a way to win in Waco.

But they lost.

Tech scored a FG as time expired on the first quarter to lead 3-0, and after the two teams engaged in defensive war for 30 minutes it seemed like the 6-3 lead for Tech at halftime would be a sign that the Red Raiders would have to grind out a Big 10 style game.
