The Baylor Bears are your 2021 Big 12 champions after holding on against Oklahoma State. In the end, just one inch decided the contest.
Baylor quickly built a 21–3 lead in the first half behind the stellar play of freshman quarterback Blake Shapen, who finished the contest 23-of-28 for 180 yards with three touchdowns. But the Cowboys played some incredible defense to claw their way back in the second half.
The story of the day was Baylor's defense. The Bears picked off Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders four times and mounted an unbelievable goal-line stand in the game's final seconds to help the team emerge victorious.
