TCU coach Gary Patterson could not have gotten much sleep last night. If he did, nightmares of Baylor wideouts racing past his DBs would have woken him up. Baylor beat TCU 50-48 thanks in large part to long passes completed against a rebuilt Horned Frogs secondary. But, most importantly, Baylor showed mettle enough to shake off 25 straight TCU points in marching down field late in 4th Q for the winning FG. That was impressive.
Can Baylor build off this win? They should be able to, as long as QB Robert Griffin stays healthy. Griffin completed 21-27 for 359y and 5 TDs. The defense still needs work. As for TCU, there is work to be done but that was to be expected after losing 13 starters. The 25-game regular season win streak is over and the key for coach Patterson is shaking off the loss and focusing on the MWC crown. Defense of that title, in their last season in conference, begins next week at Air Force. At least they will not give up 414y passing in that game.
