ARLINGTON, Texas — No. 9 Baylor hung on to beat No. 5 Oklahoma State 21-16 in the Big 12 Championship at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Saturday.
The Bears' defense held up on 4th down from the one-yard line with 24 seconds left to keep the Cowboys out of the endzone, and likely out of the College Football Playoff.
OSU quarterback Spencer Sanders threw four interceptions in the game, ultimately proving too much for the Cowboys to overcome in a breakout game for Baylor quarterback Blake Shapen.
Shapen, a freshman backup for the Bears, threw for 180 yards and three touchdowns.
Thank you @CowboyFB for an amazing season! Proud of our team and the entire #CowboyFamily. #GoPokes, always! 🧡 pic.twitter.com/K0SKfDNJ54
