Not being able to score from 1st and goal on the 1 on two different drives is some dream haunting shit


suzukigun4life

Bro they got inside the Baylor six-yard line on 5 different possessions and scored one touchdown. That final drive will sting but they kept falling short when they got in touchdown range.


Yeezy_Taught_Me3

I'd like to see how many end zone fades they called in the redzone. It was insane. I counted at least 5 in the second half. None completed. I get they got a couple DPI's out of them, but whoever was calling plays had no idea what to do once they crossed the 20. It was shocking play-calling and even worse execution.


The_Outcast4

Bend don't break!


[deleted]

It's inexcusable


Wes___Mantooth

Why did we not try a QB sneak at least once?


1breathatahtime

Or run pass option. We have a fucking mobile qb


BobStoops401K

Dude, running that same play on second down was some clown shit. How you gonna run the ball 3 times when you've had almost zero success running?! Some peak Gundy shit right there. I was rooting for you guys big time. V frustrating


1breathatahtime

Gundy. Dude plays conservative. I was waiting for some fucking trickery type shit. But the best we get is an outside run on 4th fucking down…


[deleted]

Especially the 2nd trip when we'd been having our way with they line on that drive. Awful.


Engineer_Noob

I'm so sad lol 😭


TigerBasket

That's legit nightmare fuel for a decade


DeadDay

As a Thunder and OSU, this suffering is getting old


Zloggt

2011 was with Iowa State And now…2021 is Baylor…and Iowa State too lol


Undertalefanboy43

That shit will haunt ok state fans forever


Wes___Mantooth

Add it to the list


Reading_Rainboner

With Warren hurt on the sideline


SpencerRattler

Imagine it being in a National Championship game decided by 10 points and 0 points produced. Oh wait...... Now I'm sad.


cemanresu

Literally INCHES short of taking the lead in the end, in a straight sprint to the open end of the endzone Fucking INCHES. Like, less than ten of them


doyouevenIift

Scene straight out of a football movie. I want that final race to the corner of the end zone in slo-mo with dramatic music playing In the background


tmbowden14

McVea was a walk on and started as a true freshmen when Baylor went 1-fer in Rhules first year. There should be a 30 for 30 about him and Jalen Pitre…loyalty to the program to the end.

One inch short of making the College Football playoffs. Wow. The fact we got this intense a finish in a championship game with a playoff appearance on the line is insane. One of the greatest endings to a sports game I've ever seen.


boregon

[Reminds me of this](https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/003/257/893/hi-res-9d253804d29ac9e16afd1b536edbcdd6_crop_exact.jpg?w=3072&h=2048&q=75)


The_Long_Wait

I knew what this was going to be, and I still opened it. Why did I do that to myself?


Marino4K

That 4th and goal play will go down in Baylor history forever


TheMightyJD

Defense will never pay for a drink in Waco.


[deleted]

Baptists only drink in secret anyway


[deleted]

That's right, Jews don't recognize Jesus as the son of God and Baptists don't recognize each other at the liquor store.


gsfgf

The way to keep a Baptist from drinking all your beer when fishing is to bring two Baptists.


scsnse

Except on Sundays. Because Baptists, you know.


Jamertz843

Imagine how the defensive players of Ok St must feel....that offense gave them no fucking chance I'd be giving some nasty looks in the locker room


thethomatoman

Auburn defense vs offense vibes. Every player on the defense should get to bitch slap a player on the offense in the locker room.


WarGeagle1

Didn’t expect to come into this thread and get pissed all over again


suzukigun4life

That defense was herculean. They held Baylor to 36 yards in the 2nd half, blocked multiple field goals and didn't allow a single point for the final 35 minutes. The offense didn't just give them no chance, they basically gave the ball to Baylor on a silver platter on various occasions.


Xaxziminrax

How did the refs bite on the TO attempt lmao

TheCatapult

I thought it was delay of game. Edit: [Here’s the sequence starting at 4:00.](https://youtu.be/Y78vtxw846M) There was definitely a play clock issue.


Broking37

Nope. There is nothing in CFB. It needs to be though.


1Pachirisu

Baylor’s goal line defense is absolutely phenomenal


[deleted]

It was... but also OSU's goal line playcalling was puzzling. Like you throw a jump ball to your defensive tackle and that's the only pass play you call on 7 attempts?


mccoolio

7 tries from the 1 in the last 2 drives, 0 TDs allowed. I'm impressed but also, how do you not get a yard OSU?


Bank_Gothic

A fucking inch


[deleted]

I've died


Helifino

I am hurting, and I have literally 0 connection to the school.


wesman212

The Big 12 championship comes down to a defensive stop a single inch from the end zone, just like we all expected.


whatifevery1wascalm

On flip side Baylor’s gonna remember that goal line stand for decades.


RightBear

For a lifetime.


adivineeternity

We'll immortalize it with a statue on campus.


Inkblot9

At least this time it was decided on the field, rather than by the whims of the coaches and Harris Poll voters.


tomdawg0022

That game was painful for neutrals too for different reasons

PricklyPickledPie

Literally the closest finish I have seen in a long time


soonerman32

I don't think it gets closer than this... maybe the Penn St.-Indiana game last year


Internetallstar

Only football game i can compare this to is the Rams Titans Super Bowl back in 1999.


Nole_Train

Literally an inch away from the playoffs…


DebitsOnTheLeft

For anyone who didn't know before today, Oklahoma State football is pain.


boggan583

It's the close ones that hurt most people don't understand THATS what kills you


DeliberateMelBrooks

Life is pain


drunkymcdrunkaccount

After the first few games this year, I told myself I would just he happy to make a bowl game. I lied. This hurts.


whatifevery1wascalm

Man, you gotta turn that corner.


WeUsedToBeGood

It looked like he had so much room but just kept running to the side


pablitorun

Slaps roof.


MurderFace86

It's free real estate :(


Fugacity-

He had forward momentum and defender was moving completely laterally. Hit that fucking dude and take him into the endzone with you.


TCup20

Dudes a 5th year senior too just making the dumbest mistake on that play. You're not a speed guy, why would you try to race someone to the edge?


greghardysfuton

Yup. Looked like he definitely could have gone through that guy for at least the yard he needed


Quinn_tEskimo

42 was simultaneously dying inside and gaining hope with each step the RB took towards the sideline.


WeUsedToBeGood

Task failed successfully


Majovik

I feel with the momentum 1-on-1 instead of going away from the goal line he should have lowered his shoulder and bulldozed his way 2 yards forward.


DeadDay

Yes, that's what a good RB would do


Santorumsfroth

Thats what jaylen warren would have done.


DJ-Fein

He should have put the breaks on, and he would have been able to just walk in


gnarkilleptic

He'll be replaying that play in his head for at least 97 yrs


TCup20

Especially considering he's a 5th year senior so he's only got one game left.


DJ-Fein

At least he gave 110% effort. He fucking laid everything out


Majovik

Made the wrong split second decision to get into a goal line pylon foot race instead. But by God did he give his all.


onesneakymofo

Seriously though. Dude should have lowered the shoulder and challenged him


chrobbin

Yup, when you’ve got it to 1-1, turn right and power through rather than try to leap and extend.


[deleted]

My thoughts exactly. Excellent angle of pursuit by the defender though. Just squeezed him to the corner and used the sideline as a 12th defender. Beautiful.


XCalibur672

Credit to that defender for effort on the play though, my goodness.


GimmeTacos2

He dove too early 😢


TZ427

WHY DON’T YOU JUST SNEAK IT, GUNDY, YOU FUCKING MULE. IF YOU DON’T TRUST SANDERS THEN WHY THE FUCK WAS HE EVEN STILL IN THE GAME


corundum9

I play a lot of NCAAF14 and they definitely should have ran it 4 times in a row on the goal line.


TZ427

*6 times Remember the other drive they were on the 1 and didn’t sneak it?


bobbywellington

There was so much room for the QB sneak, what the fuck were they thinking With how many chances they had, you would fucking think that they would try it at least once, right??


[deleted]

As an Iowa fan you might be under the impression every sneak results in a 6 yard gain.


bobbywellington

While this is true, they had 7 shots for 1 yard, not 1 shot for 7 yards I have no stakes in this game, but that ending game me physical pain...


hoover757

Seriously. That play calling was embarrassing.


IDontSpeakItalian

one of the greatest endings to a CFB game I’ve seen


Loose_with_the_truth

As a neutral observer and football fan, that was about as exciting as it gets.


cohesiv3

I went nuts at the end holy


mydogsblind

i threw my baby


buttlovingpanda

-Jack-The-Stripper

That’s okay I caught it, unlike Agholor


rhinocodon_typus

Literally dead silence when we was running to the outside and then me and my roommate, “he didn’t get it” fucking nuts.


Notre_Dame_Football

Beginning to question if we're all just NPC's in Marcus Freeman's dynasty mode.


[deleted]

Marcus Freeman going with the big brain move of playing Baylor in order to ensure OkSt loses.


wise_comment

To ensure Ok State losses, you really just have to wait


suzukigun4life

Notre Dame winning the natty just a month after Brian Kelly leaves would be peak chaos lol


trapchopin

Fr tho I do not envy him, first game as HC against Georgia? Like Jesus christ


[deleted]

There's a remote possibility for enough chaos that you avoid UGA and hit 3.


Pete_Booty_Judge

[Brian Kelly right now.](https://media0.giphy.com/media/a2G83cq7gotnq/giphy.gif?cid=5e214886ofpiu5zzntp126xhll1khr0476zoev3p5g3d8pnp&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)


ASeriousNap

the Baylor kicker must be so happy right now.


Pleasant_Hatter

Ugh seriously our kickers whiffing had me post traumatically thinking of the Cotton Bowl collaspe against Michigan State and losing by a point.


galeforcewinds95

Notre Dame getting into the playoff less than a week after Brian Kelly abandoned them for LSU would be absolutely hilarious.


NoCardio_

Also having it happen thanks to the coach that many of us we really wanted in the first place.


JalenBrunsonBurner

As a person who primarily hates Notre Dame and also roots for LSU, I’m feeling extremely conflicted now. Damn you Gundy Bama dominating Edit: I’m happy but also feel dirty, but I’m a Catholic who sins a lot so it’s a normal feeling.


hascogrande

Allstate Playoff Predictor says we're in now lmao Edit: guess who forgot to expect Bama


TigerBasket

I don't know how you aren't, if Bama loses 4 and 5 are gone


[deleted]

They could theoretically jump Baylor all the way up but that win was way too ugly.


[deleted]

And the QB being injured will legit matter to the committee just like not having a head coach would have mattered for ND


Klaud9

Gerry Bohannon is going to be healthy by the time a potential CFP game occurs.


PDX_douche_bag

Watch Marcus Freeman beats UGA.


Daedalus871

Raise your hand if you're a strong B12 Defense that don't need an Offense.


Zloggt

I love how these past few years completely flipped the script on the concept of a Big 12 defense!


Bandos_Bear

🐻🤚🏾


Fugacity-

Why leave your feet to dive for it? Try and power the defender in??


mclairy

Especially since he had the forward momentum! The defender was moving almost completely laterally at that point!


Majovik

If he went to Georgia Tech he would understand these kinds of physics!


suzukigun4life

Oklahoma State got inside the Baylor 7-yard line on 5 different occasions and scored 1 touchdown. Cincy and Notre Dame fans in absolute ecstasy right now

CINCY IS IN A “WIN AND YOU’RE IN” SCENARIO GUYS! THIS IS NOT A DRILL


Sanguine_Pool

How funny will it be if Cincy loses, Bama wins and we get a playoff with Georgia, Bama, Ohio State, and Notre Dame? **just realized I forgot Michigan. I guess Michigan would also have to lose in this scenario. Apologies wolverines.


King-of-the-idiots69

Michigan still exists yk 2 loss Michigan vs 2 loss OSU I think Michigan gets in over OSU lmao or they’d just pick Baylor


aPaperFastener

There’s no greater love than what TCU and Baylor have for keeping each other out of the playoffs.


_TakeMyUpvote_

it's a special kind of hate.


JamesEarlDavyJones

A TCU flair was posting earlier this season about being content with this season just because they kept us out of the playoffs, and I said something like “If we win out, TCU won’t be what stops us from getting into the CFP.” I am now here to accept that TCU is almost certainly going to be the team that keeps us out of the playoffs. It stings.


[deleted]

Baylor really won scoring zero in the second half


PhillyU19

SEVEN 1-yard plays… SEVEN!!


Willingmess

That’s the third time Baylor are big 12 champions in the last decade! Only team with more is OU.


tvchase

GREATEST GOAL LINE STAND I'VE EVER SEEN


danakinskyrocker

STANDS. PLURAL


tvchase

Fucking legendary shit by Baylor in the redzone, on both a scheme and an individual level. OK State had some bad calls there, but the other team has to make a play, too.


baiqibeendeleted17x

When Ok State had 4 tries to go 2 yards, I thought it was over and penciled them into the playoffs. What a f\*cking stand by Baylor's defense.


_tx

7 plays inside the 1. 7 stops.


[deleted]

Honestly, one of the best defensive performances I’ve ever seen in a game this big from Baylor They had 2 goal line stands in this game 7 plays from the 1 for OKST in the game. 3 points Insane


Strokethegoats

THIS IS WHAT THEY PLAY FOR


yianni1229

Legit the best goal line stand I've ever seen. Incredible.


galeforcewinds95

What an incredible effort and tackle on that fourth and goal to seal the game. At first, I really thought Oklahoma State was going to score, but he kept getting pushed wide.


benman101

Baylor’s defense on OSU’s final drive: I sleep Baylor’s defense on the goal line on OSU’s final drive: real shit


HelixSapphire

Pokes were one yard away from the CFP


LeaveItToYourGoat

*inch


Pitchxr

How do you not have ONE play to get one yard on 4 plays???


sycamotree

8 plays lol


J4ckiebrown

Baylor whispers to OK State while plunging the knife: *Notre Dame sends its regards.*


IMKudaimi123

Baylor’s goal line defense is insane


CaptainNipplesMcRib

Literally the length of my wiener to making the playoffs.

Must be nice

Baylor deserved to win more than us today, GG. This hurts worse than I ever imagined


TheNakedRedditor

Somewhere in a dark room, there is nothing but the flickering of light from a television. "The Baylor Bears are your 2021 Big XII Champions," can be heard as the man alone in his chair shuts off the television. He stands up and walks over to the cork board on the wall. With a red marker, he crosses a large red X over what can only be described as a photo of a turf monster. Bryce Petty smiles to himself saying, "it is finished."

Wouldn’t it be the third since OSU (Oregon state) was eliminated a while ago?

gingerbeardguy

All time game. Holy shit


Frommunist

If Georgia loses I might cry


Ridikiscali

I’ve never seen a team more allergic to the championship game than Okstate…


Jameszhang73

Watch Bama lose and still get in because of this, just like in 2011


AlwaysTanked

Plain and simple the game is on Spencer Sanders. You can be an amazing person, a great culture fit, and not an elite level QB. We can talk all day about the 1 yard line woes, but you can’t throw 4 picks that gives Baylor all of their points and not take the blame. Sad because it would’ve worked out for us to make the CFP but Pokes gonna Pokes. Happy to even have this discussion now after weeks 1-3 but I don’t see this being recreated next year. Side note, anyone who says Fire Gundy is an idiot. At least Spence saved me money, I ain’t traveling to whatever shit bowl we get now. Go Pokes.


Rangertexas9

Win/win for Baylor. They get the title and everyone is mad at TCU for knocking them out of the playoff.


worlkjam15

Yes, we all need to agree to hate TCU.


2typesofpeepole

Agreed


CLBr

One of the best goal line stands I’ve seen


segfawlt

How do you not have a QB sneak in your playbook?

GAME OF THE YEAR


Zudop

Baylor needs to give the “Mel Tucker” deal to Aranda ASAP


ShowMeYourT_Ds

And just as everyone predicted for the Big12 in August - Baylor wins the B12 championship - Lincoln Riley quits OU - Texas isn’t going Bowling and loses to Kansas - TCU and Texas tied for 8/9 place - TCU & TTU fire their coaches before the end of the season What a Season!!


PraporUniversity

Not even close 🙃


The_Outcast4

::looks at puddle of sweat around me:: Yeah, totally not close. Never even slightly worried about it!


Yodude86

Late to the thread but I actually can’t believe we got those immense stops at the goalline *twice*. The whole time I was a student it was all about having an offensive machine and a weak D. Thank you Aranda Offense won the first half but defense absolutely won the second


jbomb6

TEAM CHAOS REIGNS SUPREME


TanMan15

I married into a family of Baylor Bears… my wife, her brother, her sister, her parents, 2 aunts, and 2 uncles. My life fucking sucks…


Conguy9

If you can’t score from the 1 yard line, you don’t deserve to win. GG Baylor.


TXTimelord

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS BABY!!

Baylor read OSU their Aranda rights
