Baylor Bears vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders
On Saturday, November 24th Baylor played in the fourth annual Farm Bureau Shootout Insurance Shootout at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas against Texas Tech. This year’s game was definitely a nail-biter. Last year it was a competitive game but not nothing like this one. This year we had a slow start and at halftime Tech had a one touchdown lead. Heading into the 4th quarter Tech had a three point lead at 28-31. The fourth quarter was a shootout (like the name of the game!) and the it ended in a tie 45-45, making the teams go into overtime. Baylor received the ball first and got the touchdown. Baylor fans, including me, were all excited, scared, ecstatic, nervous, and just hoping for the best, wanting it to end in our favor. When Tech had their chance they went backwards fast with a holding penalty and ultimately were not able to convert on 4th down with an incomplete pass at the Baylor 20 ending the game 52-45. The Cowboy Stadium was filled with the loud roar of Baylor fans with such excitement and such a relief of excitement.
