FIRST QUARTER
WVU TOUCHDOWN: Jarret Doege 1-yard run (8:51), West Virginia leads, 7-0.
WVU drove 70 yards in 15 plays to open the game and even converted on one fourth down along the way.
Doege was 7 of 9 on the drive for 51 yards and Leddie Brown also ran hard.
SECOND QUARTER
BAYLOR TOUCHDOWN: R.J. Sneed 7-yard pass from Charlie Brewer (6:44), game is tied, 7-7.
The key play on this drive was an interception from Nicktroy Fortune that was wiped out from a pass interference penalty that appeared to be a phantom call more than anything else.
With the added boost, Brewer found Sneed in the back of the end zone on a drive that was first set up by the Mountaineers’ third turnover of the day.
That was an interception thrown by Doege that set the Bears up with a short field at the WVU 30.
THIRD QUARTER
WVU TOUCHDOWN: Brown 1-yard run (1:37), West Virginia leads, 14-7.
Two key third-down conversions were key on this drive.
Doege completed an 11-yard pass to Alec Sinfield on third-and-seven and then Brown rushed for seven yards on third-and-three.
The drive went 72 yards on 11 plays and Brown powered in on a play that was ruled to be short of the end zone, but a review overturned that call.
FOURTH QUARTER
BAYLOR TOUCHDOWN: Josh Fleeks 34-yard pass from Brewer (1:19), game is tied, 14-14.
Fleeks caught the Mountaineers’ secondary on a crossing pattern and galloped in on a pitch and catch untouched to send the game into overtime.
It was a huge momentum swing for the Bears, who had been shut down on a fourth-and-goal run on their previous possession.
Baylor did hold on defense and forced a punt and took over on its own 41 with 1:55 remaining in regulation.
WVU’s Tony Fields was flagged for unnecessary roughness that helped extend the Bears’ drive.
OVERTIME
WVU TOUCHDOWN: Bryce Ford-Wheaton 6 pass from Doege, West Virginia leads, 21-14.
In a one-on-one situation, Ford-Wheaton won the jump ball and came down with the touchdown grab.
The Mountaineers kept the drive alive with a 10-yard pass to tight end Mike O’Laughlin on fourth-and-one.
BAYLOR TOUCHDOWN: Ben Sims 25-yard pass from Brewer, game is tied, 21-21.
The Bears answered on their first play of overtime, as Brewer found a wide open Sims for the scoring pass.
SECOND OVERTIME
WVU TOUCHDOWN: Brown 3-yard run, West Virginia leads, 27-21.
WVU defensive back Tykee Smith came up with the key play of the game with an interception in the end zone to halt Baylor’s first possession in the second overtime.
From there, Doege connected with O’Laughlin again for eight yards and then Brown rushed for nine yards over the next two plays to set up his game-winning touchdown.
