WACO, Texas — Taylor Cornelius was 24 for 41 for 287 yards and a TD through the air with another 19 yards and a TD on the ground in OSU’s 35-31 loss to Baylor on Saturday. He was terrific in spurts but sputtered in others.
It was more or less a microcosm of his season overall. Awesome, highlight-worthy plays followed by ducks to the sidelines followed by fabulous runs followed by overthrown deep passes followed by a catch and run from the arm of his best receiver. The full Fletcher’s experience, in other words.
“I thought he threw pretty good,” said head coach Mike Gundy on his QB’s 59 percent completion rate.
