The Baylor Bears ( 6-0 ) scored on touchdown pass plays of 93, 72, and 54 yards enroute to a 35-25 victory over the Kansas State Wildcats ( 2-4 ) Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

The last of those scores came with 14:33 remaining in the fourth quarter and put Baylor ahead for good in the contest at 28-25.   Kansas State placekicker Jack Cantele would miss a potential tying 32 yard field goal in the fourth quarter, and the Bears tacked on a late touchdown with 1:16 remaining on a 21 yard run by Glasco Martin.

Kansas State coach Bill Snyder liked the effort of his football team, but noted the outcome “boiled down to mistakes.” Snyder added, “We made four mistakes defensively in the first half of the ballgame and it cost us 21 points.”

Snyder indicated if the big plays were taken away the Wildcats were solidly in the game.

“I don’t fault the effort of virtually young guy that we have in our program. We just have to keep trying to get better.”

Kansas State had only one turnover, but it came late in the contest with the Wildcats trailing 28-25. A Daniel Sams pass was intercepted by Ahmad Dixon at the K-State 39 yard line.

Baylor coach Art Briles credited Kansas State with playing “tremendously with a lot of heart, a lot of effort, which our guys did to. But we have a tremendous amount of respect for em.”

Briles remembered back two years ago when Baylor lost a close game at Kansas State. “You know we came up here two years ago in the same situation, same circumstances, and didn’t get away with a win. I like the fact that we came up here today and faced a lot of adversity, and got a win, a tough win on the road.”
