Baylor’s hopes and dreams of a national title came to a screeching halt tonight as the Oklahoma Sooners overpowered the Bears 44-34, snapping a 20-game home winning streak.
Saturday’s loss was the first defeat suffered at McLane Stadium by Baylor.
“[This loss is disappointing] for us and the fans but it’s just one game and it doesn’t define our season,” senior wide receiver Jay Lee said. “We have to move forward, knowing that we have three games left to ultimately get to our goal and become co-champions [in the Big 12].”
While Baylor’s defense came up with several crucial stops and forced turnovers, it was the offense that failed to find a consistent flow and rhythm for most of the night.
