Baylor should be up 7-0 on Oklahoma State.The fact they are not is the result of two very, very silly plays that they could have prevented by, like, doing regular things.
Bryce Petty falls over, Shock Linwood makes a dumb fumble, and Baylor doesn’t score
Baylor should be up by a touchdown, but made two of the dumber mistakes you can make in a football game.
First, Bryce Petty had a clear lane on a QB keeper. There was nobody between him and the end zone. But, he, just, like, stopped being able to run:
That left the Bears with first-and-goal at the one. But that didn’t work.
Shock Linwood was trying to get into the end zone, but was stopped, and then committed a cardinal sin: reaching out for the end zone and leaving the ball totally exposed:
Since he was resting on some linemen, he wasn’t down, and this was a fumble, and Oklahoma State got the ball at their own one. A pretty pass by Clint Chelf got them out of the SAFETY DANGER zone, and the first scoring chance of a matchup of top ten teams was for naught.
