Sports take: Baylor football needs its flair back

By Grant Morrison | Sports Writer

It’s Oct. 12, 2014, No. 5 Baylor football is down 21 points to No. 9 TCU with 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter. It’s the first matchup between the rival teams in the brand new McLane Stadium, but it will take a miracle for the Bears to come back.

But that’s exactly what Baylor has in store. Quarterback Bryce Petty throws for 510 yards and 6 touchdowns, and running back Shock Linwood chips away at the Horned Frogs defense to set up a field goal in the final seconds. As time expires, kicker Chris Callahan sends the football through the uprights as time expires to secure a 61-58 victory in front of the roaring crowd.
