Recap

In a high-scoring affair in Waco, Baylor claimed the College Football Belt with a 61-58 victory over TCU in a game that featured explosive offensive plays from both sides. Baylor's Bryce Petty was particularly effective through the air, connecting with Corey Coleman for a 29-yard touchdown in the second quarter and KD Cannon for a 67-yard score just before halftime to build momentum. TCU kept pace with Trevone Boykin finding Kolby Listenbee for a 35-yard touchdown early and added three rushing touchdowns from B.J. Catalon, but critical turnovers—including a catastrophic 40-yard fumble deep in their own territory with just seconds left in the half—proved costly. Despite outgaining Baylor in total yards and converting third downs at a better rate, TCU's three turnovers to Baylor's one ultimately decided the contest.

Petty's 67-yard touchdown pass to KD Cannon with 1:49 left in the second quarter gave Baylor crucial momentum heading into halftime
TCU's 40-yard fumble at their own 12-yard line with seconds remaining in Q2, recovered by Baylor's Shawn Oakman, leading to a field goal and a 12-point halftime lead
Catalon's three rushing touchdowns kept TCU competitive throughout, but the offensive balance couldn't overcome the turnover differential
