Running back DJ Lagway ignited the surge with a 54-yard touchdown run, and offensive lineman Koltin Sieracki recovered a fumble in the end zone, solidifying the Bears' advantage in the first half.

Midway through the third quarter, Baylor's offense stretched its lead to 35-17 with a 62-yard scoring pass to Taz Williams Jr. and a 33-yard touchdown run by Ryelan Morris.

Iowa State's Jaylen Raynor completed 22 of 37 passes for 256 yards with two touchdowns, including a 9-yard strike to Vince Benetti that narrowed the deficit to 35-23 on the opening play of the fourth quarter. Raynor also rushed for a 3-yard touchdown to further cut the Bears' lead. Iowa State's Aiden Flora rushed for 182 yards, including a 40-yard touchdown run. Of the eight touchdowns scored in the contest, five went for 33 yards or more.
