The No. 12 Baylor Bears defeated West Virginia 17-14 Thursday night at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas, to remain the lone undefeated Big 12 team.
The Bears improved their record to 8-0 overall and 5-0 against Big 12 competition. The Mountaineers, meanwhile, fell to 3-5 overall and 1-4 in conference play.
Last season, the tables were turned. West Virginia was ranked 13th and cruised by an unranked Baylor 58-14. While Baylor was the ranked team this time around, West Virginia played them tough.
Baylor gutted out an ugly win, though, and topped West Virginia for the first time since 2015.
