No. 21 BYUCougars took down No. 9 Baylor last night in double-overtime. They won 26-20.
, ripped off 122 yards receiving, caught a highlight-reel touchdown, and had the presence and touch to throw a trick-play touchdown of his own in just his second collegiate game.
The first major opportunity BYU had to win was at the end of regulation. With the game tied at 20 and 2:08 left to play, Hall commanded an 11-play, 72-yard drive to get BYU inside the red zone. He capped it off with a 37-yard completion to Roberts with 18 seconds left. A field goal would have sealed it.Then the second opportunity came when BYU’s defense forced a Baylor missed field goal and handed Oldroyd a chance at redemption. In nearly the same spot, from 37 yards out, he missed it again.
BYU would get one more chance after that. After Katoa scored a 4-yard touchdown that gave BYU a 26-20 lead in the second overtime, Baylor had a fourth down and three. A stop would have ended it, but BYU allowed a 3-yard rush to extend the game once more. “I don’t know where this ranks,” Sitake said of the win. “Right now it feels the best and most recent. Last year’s game [against Baylor] I made statements of, ‘We have to learn from that.’ I wanted to see that [growth] as a team and as a program. And I saw it.”Hall finished 23-for-39 for 261 yards and a touchdown.But it wasn’t the typical strongholds that won this game for BYU. It was the run defense that battled a Baylor attack that was intent on running it 52 times, but never broke through.
