Bears’ playoffs hopes crushed Saturday

Jordan Smith | Sports Writer

Baylor dashed any chance of getting into the College Football Playoff this season after a one-point loss to the University of Texas Longhorns on Saturday by a final score of 34-35. In the wake of the loss, Baylor is no longer undefeated and has now dropped outside of the Top 10.

One of the factors that led to the loss was the late-game struggle by the offense to really have good production from their play calling when they needed it most. Even though Baylor had the most total offensive yards in the game with 624 yards of offense, they struggled when it came time for the fourth quarter – only managing one field goal in three offensive drives and only 128 yards of offense.
