Baylor defeated West Virginia 49-35 on Saturday in a back-and-forth contest that saw six lead changes. The Bears' offense proved dominant throughout the matchup, with quarterback Sawyer Robertson completing passes for 329 yards while leading the scoring attack.

The game's momentum swung repeatedly between the teams. Baylor struck early in the second quarter when Bryson Washington scored on a 51-yard touchdown run. West Virginia answered with a 44-yard completion from Garrett Greene to Hudson Clement, but the Bears maintained control through the half, outscoring the Mountaineers 21-21 in the second quarter alone.

The second half saw a defensive stalemate in the third quarter with no scoring from either side. Baylor's receivers, led by Monaray Baldwin's 82 receiving yards, continued to create separation downfield, while rusher Dawson Pendergrass added 68 yards on the ground.

West Virginia scored late in the fourth quarter when Greene connected with Kole Taylor for a touchdown, but it proved insufficient to overcome Baylor's advantage. The game went over the 60-point over-under, and Baylor covered the 2.5-point spread as the visiting team.
