Baylor Wins 2021 Big 12 Football Championship, 21-16

After winning just 2 games in 2020, the Baylor Bears are the Big 12 Champions!

Baylor jumped out to a 21-3 lead and held on for dear life through the second half, defeating Oklahoma State XX-XX to win the 2021 Big 12 Football Championship.

A 4-down defensive stand starting at the 2-yard line cemented a remarkable season for this Baylor program.

Winning a conference championship in any season is a remarkable accomplishment, but even more impressive is to win with a redshirt freshman quarterback leading the charge.

Shapen was nearly perfect through the first half, at one point completing 17 of 17 passes breaking an AT&T record.
