BYU survives late comeback attempt from Baylor to secure first Big 12 road win
Maybe that 38-9 win over Kansas State wasn’t as good as the score said. Maybe the ball just kept bouncing BYU ’s way on an odd, frenzied night in Provo — where the Cougars scored 28 points in less than six minutes — and that was why BYU toppled the No. 13 team in the country. A good night, for sure, but replicable? Maybe not.
Well, for BYU’s encore performance, the Cougars didn’t exactly dispel all the worries. Their second-half performance will certainly leave some doubts. But they did enough, again, to stay unbeaten.The No. 22 team in the country jumped out early and nearly let it all slip away. It had to come up with three stops in the fourth quarter to survive — ended with a Crew Wakley interception.
BYU was up 14-0 seven minutes into the game. And by the end the of the first half, the Cougars neared 300 yards and Retzlaff accounted for 227 of them. It was the best offensive half BYU’s had since Retzlaff took over last November.Even with a 21-point lead in the first half, Jay Hill’s defense couldn’t hold on. It allowed almost 400 yards and its secondary kept rotating through defensive backs to find answers.
