Recap

Baylor dominated the first half en route to defending the belt, jumping out to a commanding 34-10 lead by halftime behind Nick Florence's efficient passing attack and a dominant defense that forced two interceptions. Oklahoma State's Clint Chelf threw a costly pick-six to Eddie Lackey early in the first quarter, setting the tone for a lopsided opening frame where Baylor scored on four of their first five possessions. The Cowboys mounted a second-half comeback with two touchdown passes from Chelf to Josh Stewart, but couldn't overcome the large deficit as Baylor's superior time of possession and third-down conversion rate proved decisive in the 41-34 victory. Baylor's defense ultimately held firm when it mattered most, preserving the belt despite Oklahoma State's furious rally.

Eddie Lackey's pick-six in Q1 gave Baylor an early 10-3 lead and set the tone for Baylor's dominance
Tevin Reese's 75-yard touchdown reception extended Baylor's lead to 27-10 and essentially put the game out of reach
Clint Chelf's two touchdown passes to Josh Stewart in Q2 kept Oklahoma State's comeback hopes alive but came too late
Baylor's time of possession advantage (32:05 to 27:55) and superior third-down conversions (9-17 vs 7-15) wore down Oklahoma State in the second half
