They converted a third of their third down attempts, and two of three of their fourth down attempts, compared to Baylor’s sub-25% conversion rate on third down and 50% conversion rate on fourth.īlake Shapen went 22 for 45 for 253 yards and 4 touchdowns. That caveat aside, Kansas State doubled up on Baylor’s rushing yards (183 to 85) and yards per rush (4.9 to 2.4). The stats are pretty meaningless for this game because the final quarter was glorified garbage time. They followed up a successful onside kick with a fake field goal attempt that led to a turnover on downs. Baylor attempted (and failed to convert) on two two-point conversion attempts.

Unfortunately, the Bears weren’t lucky enough, as their most creative and aggressive playcalling on the season hurt as often as it helped. A double-reverse pass led to a 63-yard touchdown from Shapen to Dabney. A 59-yard punt return by Josh Cameron gave Baylor excellent field position to score their second touchdown. They definitely didn’t need to be spotted 21 points when Shapen threw a pick-six in the third quarter.īaylor, on the other hand, needed some lucky breaks just to hold off KSU’s second-teamers until 9:47 in the fourth quarter. Kansas State’s offense didn’t need to be spotted 14 points to win this game. Two minutes into the second quarter and the Wildcats had a commanding 35-7 lead. And if you thought it wasn’t comically bad enough.Baylor fumbled the snap on a punt following another three-and-out and KSU recovered it on the two yard line. A Baylor three-and-out gave way to another KSU score. Two plays later their defense picked up a fumble by Baylor quarterback Blake Shapen and ran it in for a touchdown. ESPN’s in-game win probability for the Wildcats even dropped from 97% to 94%!Īided by a questionable pass-interference call on third and seven, KSU scored on their second drive.

The Bears equalized KSU’s opening scoring drive with an efficient, five play, 72-yard scoring drive of their own. The Kansas State Wildcats (7-3) thoroughly dominated Baylor (3-7) 59 to 25 in front of a purple and silver homecoming crowd.įor a brief moment, it looked like Baylor might actually challenge Kansas State.
