Baylor Secures Bowl Eligibility with Win Over WVU

Baylor defeated West Virginia 49-35, achieving bowl eligibility for the third time under Coach Dave Aranda, following a strong performance by Sawyer Robertson with 329 passing yards and three touchdowns. Bryson Washington also contributed four touchdowns to Baylor's victory. West Virginia's quarterback Garrett Greene returned from a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury, rushing for 129 yards and two touchdowns, but the team failed to convert crucial fourth-down opportunities. Despite Greene's return and his full week of practice, West Virginia's two-game winning streak ended with their fourth home loss this season. During Greene's absence, backup Nicco Marchiol had led the team to two victories, raising hopes for West Virginia's bowl game chances.
