No. 9 Baylor shocked No. 5 Oklahoma State 21-16 on Saturday with a goal-line stop on fourth down to win its first-ever Big 12 Championship Game, and first conference championship overall since 2014.
Oklahoma State put together a 17-play, 89-yard drive to face first-and-goal at the 2-yard line with about 1:19 remaining. However, the Bears defense hunkered down to get four consecutive stops — including beating Oklahoma State running back Dezmon Jackson to the corner on fourth down — to escape Arlington with a historic win.
