Oklahoma State led Baylor 17-14 with 2:14 remaining in the game, after leading the Bears 14-0 just 10 minutes prior. It was 4th-and-1, set up by a 10-yard rush by quarterback Spencer Sanders on 3rd and long.
Rather than kicking a field goal to push the lead to 20-14, coach Mike Gundy decided to go for the gut punch and try to make it a two possession game.
It was a high risk high reward; a boom or bust call.
Sanders took the snap and handed the ball off to running back Jaylen Warren.
