Let me give you a background to this game. This was before Baylor was Baylor, the team we know with the crazy uniforms and RGIII. They were as bad as Kansas, quite possibly worse. The team from Waco, Texas had been long known as one of the worst programs in college football, and had never EVER won a road game in the Big 12 Conference.
The Big 12 had been around for TEN YEARS, and Baylor had lost all 37 games on the road.
That was until October 8, 2005
Enter the Iowa State Cyclones, coming in at 3-1, and just beat a top-10 “Team From Out East” only a month before.
