Luis Rodriguez’s 56-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Baylor’s Cooper Lanz with two second left, allowing the Bears (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) to escape. Hawkins responded with a 30-yard field goal with 4:18 left in the first quarter to cull the Bears’ deficit to 7-3. The Wildcats answered with a nine-play possession that covered 57 yards and produced a 49-yard Rodriguez field goal that tied the game 10-10 with 4:23 until halftime. But that gave Kansas State plenty of time to respond, which it did with a 72-yard drive in nine plays that was punctuated with a 9-yard TD pass from Johnson to Garrett Oakley that knotted the game at 17 at the break. Baylor culled the margin to 31-25 on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Robertson to Bryson Washington with 8:50 left on the clock.
