The "Rubber Band Men" allowed multiple Baylor possessions into OSU territory, but came up with big stops when it mattered most. The Bears were stuffed on fourth-and-1 twice, including on the goal line on their opening drive, and Justin Gilbert picked off one of Griffin's passes in the end zone on third-and-goal from the 5. Aaron Jones also continued his struggles, missing a 48-yard field goal. The Bears got inside the Oklahoma State 35-yard line on each of their first five drives and then found a way to give the ball back without getting any points. But that's nothing new for the Cowboys. OSU came into the game ranked 103rd in the nation in yards allowed -- easily the worst of the eight remaining undefeated teams -- but has consistently found ways to get critical stops when needed. The Pokes lead the nation in turnover margin and added to their Bowl Subdivision lead in interceptions by picking off their 16th and 17th of the season. The Cowboy D also forced a fumble inside their 1-yard line in the third quarter, setting up Oklahoma State's second 99-yard touchdown drive of the game.
