Though they faced a 28-point deficit midway through the third quarter, Baylor football wasn’t ready to call it quits.
The Bears scored 29 unanswered second-half points and defeated the UCF Knights 36-35 Saturday evening at FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando, Fla. Redshirt sophomore kicker Isaiah Hankins drilled the 25-yard game-winning boot to complete the largest comeback in program history.
Hankins said he was praying for peace during the whole game, and “the Lord was very gracious today” to help him nail the game-winner.
“Today, I don’t even know what I was thinking about, but I was peaceful,” Hankins said.
