(November 1, 2008)--Chase Daniel passed for 318 yards and three
touchdowns and Jeff Wolfert kicked a 34-yard field goal with 2:31
remaining to help No. 14 Missouri escape with a 31-28 victory over
Baylor on Saturday in a game the Tigers could have put out of reach
early.

Baylor (3-6, 1-4 Big 12), which had twice came back from
14-point deficits but never led, had one last chance late. But
Brock Christopher's interception with 1:40 left - the first thrown
by freshman Robert Griffin in 210 attempts this season - finally
clinched it for the Tigers (7-2, 3-2).

Daniel threw two interceptions, the first on the first play of
the second quarter when Joe Pawelek picked off a pass in the end
zone to keep Missouri from adding to a 14-0 lead.

I'm not a Baylor fan, but I feel bad for those football players who practice all week, go to class and go and try to win these games. Baylor always seems to come up short. If Baylor is serious about its football program, they should go out and get a proven, get results type of coach. Mack Brown and the Longhorns just keep reloading with recruits, and with coaches. At Texas, one defensive coordinator leaves, Mack Brown goes out and gets somebody who is also an expert in the craft. Baylor is trying to be people friendly as if they are playing high school sports. I read some comments the other day somewhere, and Baylor fans are still going back remembering the glory days of Mike Singletary. Yeah, it would be nice to see more black coaches in all sports, but maybe there is a reason he hasn't landed a spot yet. Baylor, if you want to be the man, you have to beat the man. In other words, you have to pay the cost to be the boss. Academics can exist with good sports.
