The Baylor Bears, with a 37-34 victory, improved their record to 5-1 as they hosted the Kansas State Wildcats who fell to a 3-3 season. The game at McLane Stadium saw the home team clinch a narrow win in front of an attendance of 36,888 fans.
The Bears' offense was on full display as they amassed a total of 536 yards. The passing game contributed significantly with quarterback Charlie Brewer completing 30 out of 45 passes for a total of 296 yards and one touchdown pass that covered a distance of 21 yards. Brewer's performance yielded an impressive passer rating of around 120. On the ground, the Bears were just as dominant, rushing for an aggregate of 261 yards across 48 attempts which translates to an average gain per rush attempt at approximately five yards.
Special teams also played their part; while there was only one punt attempt by the Bears that went for over fifty yards, it was not returned for any significant yardage by the Wildcats. In terms of field goals, Baylor attempted six and successfully converted three with the longest being from thirty-five yards out.
Defensively, Baylor showed resilience by sacking Kansas State's quarterback three times and recording two interceptions during crucial moments in the game. These turnovers proved pivotal in maintaining momentum and securing possession time which totaled roughly thirty-four minutes.
On the other side, Kansas State put up a valiant effort but ultimately could not overcome Baylor's offensive surge despite scoring thirty-four points themselves. Their efforts were highlighted by several long drives that kept them competitive throughout all four quarters.
As fans look ahead after this hard-fought victory, they can mark their calendars for when Baylor will face off against Texas Longhorns at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin on October thirteen at seven-thirty PM local time.
