Stats you might not have known from Baylor football's incredible win over Kansas State

It was yet another instant classic for Baylor football in 2025, but this time, the Bears came out on top. Baylor had dropped both games this season at home against Auburn and Arizona State, both games Baylor could've won. But on Saturday, it was the Bears who got the last laugh.

Baylor kicked a game-winning field goal to down the Wildcats, 35-34. But then special teams had the final say. KSU drove down the field in seconds to attempt a last-second field goal, but Baylor's Cooper Lanz blocked the FG and Baylor would come out on top.

The Bears' defense allowed KSU QB Avery Johnson to rip them to shreds on the ground and through the air, but safety Jacob Redding did make Johnson pay with a pick-six late in the game. Then you can't count out QB Sawyer Robertson, who threw for 345 yards and two scores, with one INT.

Following the game, here are some impressive stats you might not have known.
