Nov 3, 2024, 03:45 AM

Baylor University secured a dramatic 37-34 victory over rival TCU with a 33-yard field goal by Isaiah Hankins as time expired. The win snaps a four-game losing streak against TCU and marks Baylor's third consecutive Big 12 victory, improving their record to 5-4 after starting the season 2-4. Under head coach Dave Aranda, whose job security had been questioned, the Bears have turned their season around, averaging 44.7 points per game during this winning streak. TCU's record falls to 5-4 (3-3 in conference), and the loss snaps their two-game winning streak. TCU's Jack Bech caught two touchdown passes, but the defense struggled, particularly in the second half, allowing Baylor to reach field goal range in the final seconds. The thriller adds another close contest to the rivalry, reminiscent of previous games like 41-38 and 61-58.
