Proud to be a Baylor Bear!

Baylor Nation celebrated quite a victory last night in San Antonio, TX at the Valero Alamo bowl! We came from behind once again to claim our 10th win of the year, defeating Washington, 67-56. The win capped off a remarkable year for Baylor football, one that saw the Bears match the program record with 10 wins and, of course, claim the first Heisman in school history. This game was fun to watch not only for Bear fans, but for most any fan of college football — a true shootout. The Bears and Huskies set FBS bowl records for most combined points and yards. BU matched the FBS-bowl record for points and set an FBS-bowl record with 777 yards of total offense (also a Baylor single-game record). The Bears’ 18-point comeback was the third-largest second-half comeback in program history and gave the program its first bowl win since 1992. This was the final game at Baylor for seniors like Ganaway and receiver Kendall Wright (91 yards receiving and one TD, plus 28 yards rushing), and could be the last for RG3 if he decides to go pro (experts have him pegged as a top-10 pick). If so, what a way to go out; you could see Griffin just taking it all in post-game amidst the pyrotechnics, balloons and confetti, knowing that his team had just completed perhaps the best season in program history.
Sic ’em Baylor Nation!
