Baylor Edges Kansas State on Blocked Kick as Kansas Rallies Past UCF

Late miscues alongside special-teams swings are steering early Big 12 positioning.

Overview

  • Baylor erased a 31-17 deficit with Jacob Redding’s 66-yard pick-six and Connor Hawkins’ 53-yard field goal with 31 seconds left to secure a 35-34 win.
  • Kansas State’s last-second 56-yard attempt by Luis Rodriguez was blocked, dropping the Wildcats to 2-4 despite a 501-443 yardage edge and a 38-minute possession advantage.
  • Kansas turned a 14-0 hole into a 27-20 road victory behind Leshon Williams’ three short rushing touchdowns and Jalon Daniels’ 235 passing yards.
  • The Jayhawks’ defense produced the turning point with Jalen Dye’s strip sack and Trey Lathan’s recovery at the 2, then stuffed three late snaps from the 1, including Lathan’s fourth-down tackle.
  • UCF fell to 0-2 in Big 12 play as quarterback Tayven Jackson exited with a left-arm injury, leaving Cam Fancher to lead a stalled goal-line series in the final minutes.
