Five years ago last month, Baylor and TCU squared off in what was recently recognized by ESPN as one of the 150 greatest games in college football history<\/a>. Today, it’s known simply by the final score: 61-58.<\/p>\n

But that’s not the only crazy finish in recent Baylor football history; in honor of Baylor football’s recent fourth-quarter dominance under head coach Matt Rhule, here are our top 5 best Baylor finishes of the last 15 years:<\/p>\n

Baylor 35, Texas A&M 34 (OT)<\/a> — October 30, 2004<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ten years before 61-58, Baylor squared off against another in-state rival — the Texas A&M Aggies, who hadn’t lost to the Bears in almost 20 years. Hosting the 16th-ranked Aggies, Baylor trailed 13-3 at halftime. But a spirited second half led by quarterback Shawn Bell sent the game to overtime. After A&M scored on its first possession of overtime, Bell hit Dominique Zeigler to pull within one. Eschewing a game-tying extra point, head coach Guy Morriss called for a gutsy two-point conversion. Bell found Zeigler again to win the game, the goalposts came down, and the Bears picked up perhaps their most memorable win of the millennium\u2019s first decade. (The video highlights are below, but the Texas A&M radio call<\/a> is also a classic.)<\/p>\n
