And there's your ball game. Chris Johnson, third-string quarterback for the Baylor Bears, hurls a 71-yard TD pass to KD Cannon. As usual, there was no one close to Cannon, who got behind the defense and trotted untouched into the end zone. You rarely see that happen in most football games, but you will usually see it several times a game in the Big XII.
OK, I admit that I was totally wrong about this game. Oklahoma State was undefeated, they were at home, they destroyed Texas Christian two weeks ago, and they were taking on a banged-up Baylor team that had just lost to Oklahoma in Waco. Two years ago, OSU dominated an undefeated Baylor team, and I expected something similar today. But OSU was badly overmatched in this game -- they couldn't stop Baylor at all, even when the Bears were forced to use their third-string quarterback. Meanwhile, their own offense could do nothing with a Baylor defense that gave up 44 points to Oklahoma last week.
Per our usual practice, we stop live-blogging once someone has a 24-point lead, although we'll keep an eye open to make sure nothing extraordinary occurs. We'll do a wrap-up post after the game, and that post will probably be very complimentary toward the Baylor Bears.
