TOP QUOTE
"People need to realize that it's extremely difficult to go on the road and get two wins. It's almost unheard of to go on the road and get six points. We were able to go on the road and do something that we haven't done in a while either. It just goes to show the maturity and resolve of this team. It wasn't pretty, most Sundays usually aren't. But they were able to fight through that and get another victory." - Baylor head coach Paul Jobson
