WACO, Texas — Robert Griffin took the final snap and was swarmed by fans wearing Baylor gold.

One of the most-anticipated season openers in school history ended with a 50-48 victory over No. 14 TCU after almost turning into a major collapse.

Before Aaron Jones kicked the deciding 37-yard field goal with 1:04 left, Griffin had a 15-yard catch from star receiver Kendall Wright to convert a third-and-10. That was probably the biggest pass play Friday night, even through Griffin threw a career-best five touchdown passes.

TCU, which had won an FBS-best 25 consecutive regular-season games, overcome a 47-23 deficit in the fourth quarter to briefly take the lead after new starting quarterback Casey Pachall threw three touchdowns passes.
