Baylor Bears Secure Fifth Straight Road Win Over Oklahoma State

The Baylor Bears secured a 45-27 victory over the Oklahoma State Cowboys, marking their fifth consecutive road win and improving their season record to 3-2 overall and 1-1 in Big 12 play. Senior quarterback Sawyer Robertson led an explosive offense, passing for 393 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing for a score, contributing to Baylor's 612 total yards of offense. Despite the offensive success, Baylor's defense struggled, allowing Oklahoma State to post a season-high 448 yards, although the Bears held the Cowboys to just 99 yards in the second half. Baylor is set to host the Kansas State Wildcats, who have a 2-3 record and recently defeated the undefeated UCF Knights, with Baylor favored by 6.5 points. The Bears currently rank 41st in ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI), with a projected season finish of 6.5-5.5 and slim chances to win the Big 12 or make the College Football Playoff. Baylor's potent offense led by Robertson remains their strength, while defensive improvements are needed to maintain competitiveness in the conference.
