Baylor rolls to earn 3-way tie for Big 12 lead

WACO - Bryce Petty threw touchdowns on Baylor's first two drives that took less than a minute combined, putting the No. 6 Bears ahead to stay in a 49-28 victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday night.

Playoff-contending Baylor (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) won its 15th consecutive home game on a rainy night, earning a three-way tie with No. 5 TCU and No. 12 Kansas State for the Big 12 lead with two games left.

Devin Chafin ran for 106 yards and three touchdowns, while Shock Linwood had 113 yards rushing with a score for Baylor. Corey Coleman extended his nation's best streak with a TD catch in his seventh consecutive game.

The Bears, whose home winning streak matches Alabama for the longest in the nation, were up 42-14 when Chafin scored on a 1-yard run with 14:21 left.

Oklahoma State (5-6, 3-5) has lost five games in a row. That is its longest losing streak since Mike Gundy's first season as head coach in 2005 and the last time the Cowboys didn't go to a bowl.

Highly touted freshman quarterback Mason Rudolph was 13-of-25 passing for 281 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in his debut for the Cowboys, who have to win at No. 23 Oklahoma in two weeks to get to their ninth straight bowl.

TEXAS TECH 34, IOWA ST. 31

Freshman Patrick Mahomes passed for 328 yards and four touchdowns, the last a 44-yard fourth-quarter toss to Kenny Williams that lifted the Red Raiders past the Cyclones in Ames, Iowa.

Iowa State led 31-27 lead on Aaron Wimberly's 3-yard touchdown run early the fourth quarter, but missed a chance to extend the lead when Cole Netten's 42-yard field-goal attempt hooked left.

Tech (4-7, 2-6) then marched 75 yards on seven plays for the game-winner, which came when Mahomes found Williams all alone in the right flat with 4:07 left to end Tech's three-game losing streak.

Iowa State (2-7, 0-7) drove into Tech territory after Williams' touchdown but gave up the ball on downs when quarterback Sam Richardson was stopped just short of converting at the Raiders' 31.

DeAndre Washington rushed for a career-high 181 yards on 18 carries and scored on a career-long 72-yard run to become the first Tech running back to top 1,000 since Ricky Williams ran for 1,582 in 1998. Washington, who now has 1,038 yards, also caught a 26-yard TD pass.
