61-58, isn't that a basketball score?
What? No, it's a football score?
Really? Surely you're joking....
I'm not joking and don't call me surely...
It took a 28-yard Game Winning Field Goal at the buzzer by Baylor's Chris Callahan to stop the scoring onslaught. Callahan's kick gave the Baylor Bears a 61-58 win over TCU in a shootout that maybe the biggest of all shootouts...
Callahan's kick capped a comeback that saw the Bears fall behind by as much as 21 points with only 11 minutes to go.
But the powerful Baylor offense, behind 510 yards passing and 6 TD's by Quarterback Bryce Petty came back. And came back fast.
With the game tied and just over a minute to go, TCU coach Gary Patterson decided to go for it on 4th and 3 from the Baylor 45. And inexplicably called a pass play.
The pass was incomplete.
Giving Petty and Baylor a minute to go half the field was plenty of time. A pass interference call against TCU and some smart running by Shock Linwood who ran for 172 yards, out the ball in position for Callahan to finish the game.
And he did...

Do You Believe Baylor Is For Real Now? Bears Deliver A Whooping On Oklahoma 41-12
Does and ole fashioned butt whipping on one of the Big 12's brand names make you a believer in the Baylor Bears?
Baylor leads the nation in total offense with 718 yards per game and scoring with 64 points per game. The Bears are outscoring opponents by 48 point margin yet not much respect was coming Baylor's way.
You have to admit Baylor's 41-12 win over Oklahoma was really impressive.
Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns.
Running back Shock Linwood rushed for a career high 182 yards.
Baylor outrushed Oklahoma 255-87.
"It's a very special team." Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty said. "Our defense played outstanding tonight, and I think it's one of the best games I've ever seen them play."
Baylor's defense held Oklahoma to 237 yards of total offense.
"I think that we showed we can play defense and compete with any team in this conference and in the nation." Baylor defensive end Chris McAllister said. "When we have a game plan and put our minds to it and guys execute, we can play with anybody, and I think that's what we showed tonight."
Baylor is now 8-0 for the first time in school history.
When the BCS standings are released Sunday night, will Baylor be that number four team in the conference.
That December 7th showdown with Texas is looking really big right now.
