Sometimes the worst day of your life can become the best day. After missing a 38 yard field goal and being passed over as an option for nearly of the rest of the day, John Mayers drilled a 38 yard field goal with 21 seconds remaining to give Baylor (4-0, 1-0) a 23-21 win over Iowa State (2-2, 0-1). The Bears take on Kansas State at 2:30 next Saturday in Manhattan, Kansas.
Baylor almost had a devastating defeat. The Bears led 20-0 entering the fourth quarter. But Iowa State ran off 21 straight points. Baylor took over with 3:45 remaining.
