Baylor 67 Washington 56 Final
This Thursday, the Baylor Bears (9-3) take on the Washington Huskies (7-5) at the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.
The Baylor-Washington game marks one of the signature postseason games of the year as the two conference surprises line up to close out this season.
Both teams bring powerful weapons to the gridiron. Baylor's Robert Griffin III has dominated all season against top notch defenses, winning the Heisman Trophy and stunning the nation. Washington's offense, however, ranks quite potent as well behind the strong running of Chris Polk.
Baylor's passing game will be led by wide receiver Kendall Wright, one of the most talented targets in the south. Nothing seems capable of slowing down this high-octane monster.
Washington has also gotten some great production out of sophomore QB Keith Price. Starting for the first time this season, Price has truly come into his own and will be a threat in the Pac-12 for years to come.
This game will feature two top-notch college squads, both vying for national respect. Baylor head coach Art Briles will be looking for his first bowl win ever while Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian will be looking to snag his second.
RG3 and the Bears are going into the game off a five-game winning streak. Keeping that momentum alive will be a challenge for these coaches from Waco. The Huskies, on the other hand, are looking for new life after just winning one of their last four.
Two unstoppable forces meet tomorrow afternoon. Get ready to see who shows who up in one of top games of the year.
The Heisman winner is taking a knee now with just over one minute to go. This game is a done deal for the Bears.
Washington fumbles on the kickoff to put the icing on the cake. Baylor takes over in Husky territory with just over two minutes to go. Any kind of Baylor score would break the total points record.
Ganaway rushes again for a huge TD. That probably seals the game for the Bears as they go up by 11 points with just two and a half minutes to go. Washington will have to act fast if they want to have any shot of a comeback.
A huge fourth down again. The Huskies can not convert as Price got hit right when he let the ball go. It sailed over Williams for what could turn out to be the deciding factor in this game.
Another fourth down conversion by the Huskies. This is getting ridiculous. I believe the fourth down conversion rate for both teams in 100%, and both have gone for it at least three times.
Griffin puts up another huge pass down to Wright. This Baylor offense can not be stopped. Ganaway puts it in the end zone for another TD rush. The Bears regain the lead again as they total 60 points.
We are setting bowl records all over the place. With the 1,229 total combined yards so far on offense, it breaks the bowl record for combined offensive yards.
These two teams are trading TD's. It is pure insanity. Both squad's offenses are running all over these defenses like they aren't even there. This has to be the most exciting game of the entire bowl season, hands down.
The Huskies convert a huge fourth down to keep this drive alive.
This game is already the highest in this bowl season with over 100 points. A big offensive showing by both of these squads.
Ganaway grabs another TD on the ground as he puts it in the end zone from a yard out. Huge drive by the Bears to regain the lead.
It's up to Price and Polk to get something going on this next series for Washington.
Reese turned on the jets to go all the way down the the one and a half yard line. Baylor has swung the momentum back in their favor and is knocking on the door with just two minutes left in the quarter.
Baylor with a huge stop from their own 25 yard line. Forces the Huskies to go for the field goal and miss it. Big-time defensive conversion for the Bears. Now it's time for Baylor to take the lead with a TD.
Price goes deep again to Kearse for a huge gain. Down to the 13 yard line for the Huskies. What a throw; right on the mark. Aguilar grabs the TD to really regain some of their momentum back.
What an offensive showing...and we're not even in the fourth quarter yet.
Ganaway looking fantastic on that 89 yard TD run. Broke free and didn't even get touched as he flew down the field. Baylor goes for two and scores. The momentum has reswung back to the Bears as they close to within three points.
Baylor makes their first move back into this ball game. Their first turnover and in their own red zone. Big time play by the defense to force that fumble and pick it up off the turf.
The Huskies have really shut down this potent Baylor passing game. I'm really surprised on how quickly they've figured out how to get pressure on Griffin. Another Baylor punt...huge return by Williams down into the Bears' redzone.
Baylor didn't kill that drive; Price did when he basically threw it out of bounds on two consecutive plays. The first time all game the sophomore QB has looked like a first year starter.
Salubi puts it again on the option pitch by Griffin. He's been really impressive so far. Baylor has some life and will be looking for a big stop on this next drive.
Baylor is really making use of quick outlet passes to their fast receivers. The Huskies need to start playing up a bit closer to shut that down.
Price shows up for the second half in a huge way with an 80 yard pass to Kearse for a TD. They increase their lead and grab more momentum with just one minute.
Washington just gave Baylor that field goal. Prevent defense was despicable. The Bears grab three points to get a little closer going into the half.
Polk just exploded for that TD. What a run on the draw play right up Baylor's gut. The Bear's controlled the first quarter but Washington has surged back with a vengeance. The running game is invigorated and the passing game seems unstoppable.
Washington is looking like a lot better than a 7-5 squad.
Another sack. This is getting ridiculous by the Husky defense. Shirley is really showing his speed off the edge. The Bears are going for it on fourth down again but they do not make it.
Baylor is in trouble now.
Griffin is sacked again by Shirley. The Washington defense is really finding a way to get to the Heisman winner. It's quite impressive, actually, considering how they couldn't seem to touch him the first quarter.
