Big 12 Recaps: Texas vs. Baylor, West Virginia vs. Kansas State

It was as drastic an adjustment as any team has probably ever made at halftime of a game, and it very almost won the dang thing. Some players on the Texas sideline weren’t happy about it and knocked Hawthorne down, which prompted the Baylor players to leave their sideline and join the madness.

The play came after an unsportsmanlike conduct call on Beau Blackshear that gave the Longhorns first down.

While beating Oklahoma and Baylor illustrates the amount of talent on the roster, the Longhorns just let too many winnable games slip away. But with no timeouts and after a wide receiver pass meant to go to emergency quarterback Lynx Hawthorne, Baylor eventually fell short of the touchdown needed to win the game.
