Baylor nips TCU, 61-58

The age of high-powered offenses continues to drive college football this season, with no end — or limit — in sight to how high the points can go.

Nowhere was the scoring fun more in focus this weekend than Baylor’s 61-58 win over TCU on Saturday.

The Bears, led by Bryce Petty’s national best of 510 yard passing for the week, rallied from 21 points down to hand the Horned Frogs their first loss of the season. Following the dramatic win, Baylor continues to lead the country with an average of 52.7 points per game, while TCU is third at 45.8.

The two teams combined to gain 1,267 yards in the game, which was the second-highest scoring affair between two ranked teams. Baylor was also involved in the highest scoring one, a 70-63 loss to West Virginia in 2012.

Nationally, Football Bowl Subdivision teams are averaging 30.3 points per game this season. That’s up from 27.1 points per game in 2009 and 29.5 last year.
