Bears fall short against rival TCU; still one win shy of a bowl bid

By Harry Rowe | Staff Writer

Baylor football came up short 16-9 against TCU in its last home game of the season on Saturday at McLane Stadium.

The Bears (5-6, 3-5) had an opportunity to tie the Horned Frogs (5-6, 3-5) during the final minutes of the game, but they ultimately failed to score on the potential game-winning drive.

It was a battle of the defenses as neither team passed 350 yards of total offense, with the Horned Frogs 311 yards pretty evenly matched with Baylor’s total of 303. TCU starting quarterback Michael Collins left the game with a right leg injury in the first quarter and was replaced by senior Grayson Muehlstein, who finished with 137 passing yards and a touchdown.
