Recap
Oklahoma State dominated Baylor from start to finish, with quarterback Clint Chelf leading a devastating passing attack that overwhelmed the Bears' defense. The Cowboys scored on four of their first five possessions, including a 51-yard completion to Marcell Ateman that set up Kye Staley's opening touchdown, followed by a 12-yard touchdown pass to Charlie Moore in the second quarter. Baylor managed only a field goal response before the third quarter became decisive, as Oklahoma State scored twice more on touchdown passes to Tracy Moore and a rushing score, with Chelf adding a rushing touchdown to put the game out of reach. The turnovers proved critical, with Baylor committing three while Oklahoma State took care of the ball, allowing the Cowboys to control time of possession and convert nine of seventeen third downs to Baylor's seven of eighteen.
- Marcell Ateman's 51-yard reception to the Baylor 20 in Q1 that set up Kye Staley's opening touchdown
- Charlie Moore's 12-yard touchdown reception in Q2 extending Oklahoma State's lead to 14-3
- Tracy Moore's 56-yard touchdown reception in Q3 that put Oklahoma State up 28-3
- Baylor's three turnovers versus Oklahoma State's zero, tilting field position throughout the contest
