ICYMI: No. 21 BYU beats No. 9 Baylor 26-20 in double-overtime thriller
PROVO, Utah — BYU fought for every inch on offense against Baylor. Lopini Katoa carried the Cougars across the finish line.
“That’s a tough defense right there,” said Katoa, who finished with 26 yards on nine carries. “They pride themselves on stopping the run. They do a great job at it. Me and Chris both knew we were going to have to scratch and claw for every yard.” Shapen’s incompletion on fourth down in double overtime sealed the upset win for BYU. The Bears were one of three Top 10 teams to lose on Saturday along with No. 6 Texas A&M and No. 8 Notre Dame.“The biggest way you lose games is by hurting yourself and we hurt ourselves two times in critical situations,” Bears center Jacob Gall said.
After combining to go 3-and-out on five straight first-half drives, Baylor and BYU traded touchdowns right before halftime. After tying the score on a 39-yard field goal from Oldroyd, BYU dug into its bag of tricks to retake the lead. Roberts tossed a backward pass back to Hall and he raced 22 yards to put BYU back in front 20-13.Baylor: Success on third down helped the Bears get through some tough stretches on offense. The Bears went 9 for 18 on third down. Defensively, Baylor held the Cougars to 3 for 14 on third down.
