=Summary=
The ending of the game was particularly notable as a result of a goal-line stand from the Baylor defense. Facing 1st and goal from the Baylor 1 yard line, the Bears defense repeatedly denied the Cowboys, as they had done previously in the game, culminating with a mad dash towards the pylon on 4th and goal, where the Cowboy running back was ruled inches short of a touchdown and potentially a Big 12 title.
Baylor’s victory marked their first Big 12 Championship since 2014, their first unshared Big 12 title since 2013, their first win in a Big 12 Championship Game, and their third overall.
