Late Swings Define Big 12 Weekend: Baylor Stuns Kansas State, Kansas Rallies Past UCF

Turnovers, goal-line stops, long kicks are shaping a tight Big 12 midseason picture.

Overview

  • Baylor erased a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit at Kansas State behind Jacob Redding’s 66-yard interception return and a long go-ahead field goal with 31 seconds left, then sealed it with a block of the Wildcats’ 56-yard try at the horn.
  • The loss drops Kansas State to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the Big 12, while Baylor improves to 4-2 and 2-1 after the 35-34 win in Waco.
  • Kansas beat UCF 27-20 in Orlando after trailing 14-0, with Leshon Williams rushing for three short touchdowns to move the Jayhawks to 4-2 (2-1 Big 12).
  • Kansas’ defense flipped the game with Jalen Dye’s strip-sack and Trey Lathan’s fumble recovery to set up the go-ahead score, then Lathan stuffed Cam Fancher on fourth-and-goal as UCF failed three times from the 1 and did not score after halftime.
  • UCF quarterback Tayven Jackson exited with an arm injury; X-rays were negative and his status is uncertain as the Knights fall to 3-2 (0-2) and visit Cincinnati next, with Kansas heading to Texas Tech and Kansas State hosting TCU.
