No. 22 BYU needs a late pick to secure a 34-28 win at Baylor and stay undefeated
WACO, Texas — BYU safety Crew Wakley saw the ball once it was thrown into the air, even if he couldn't really see the Baylor quarterback. The 22nd-ranked Cougars were still undefeated after he went up and caught it."Shoutout to the D-line, they were all up in his face,” Wakley said. “It’s like a flyball. ... I knew as soon as it left his hand. I was like, I’ve got this, got to go make that play.”
Wakley's leaping interception, near midfield right in front of the Baylor bench with 59 seconds left, finally clinched a 34-28 victory on Saturday. The Cougars never trailed but had to hold on after twice building three-touchdown leads before halftime when Jake Retzlaff threw for two scores and ran for another one.
