Baylor Sleep Walks to 45-27 win over Iowa State

With 8:14 to go in the second quarter, Baylor led over Iowa State 35-0 and even Cyclones fans were telling me on Twitter that the game was over. Then, over the next 30 full minutes of the game, Baylor didn't score, Iowa State scored 20, and things got way more dicey than anyone ever expected. The defense, which allowed just 46 total yards through the first quarter-and-a-half, gave up more than 300 the rest of the way. The offense, which looked unphased by the rain early on, completely turtled in the third quarter and never really recovered, and the Bears, a dominant force of nature through the first 6.
