Trickett was 23-of-35 and threw one interception for West Virginia (5-2, 3-1 Big 12), which won despite committing three turnovers. Kevin White had eight catches for 132 yards and two scores while Mario Alford added four receptions for 53 yards and a score.

Bryce Petty was 16-of-36 for 223 yards and two touchdowns for Baylor (6-1, 3-1), which averaged just 2.3 yards per rush on 42 attempts. Antwan Goodley had nine catches for 132 yards and a touchdown while Corey Coleman caught five balls for 77 yards and a score.

The Bears took advantage of a fumble by Trickett at his own 7, opening the scoring with a Petty-to-Coleman connection, but the Mountaineers responded with an 81-yard drive in just under two minutes, capped by Trickett's 36-yard scoring strike to White. After a pair of Baylor field goals, Andrew Buie and Dreamius Smith had second-quarter touchdown runs and Josh Lambert hit a 54-yard field goal on the last play of the half to give West Virginia a 24-20 advantage.

The lead was pushed to 27-20 before Shock Linwood went over from a yard out late in the third quarter to tie the game. Trickett found White from 12 yards out early in the fourth to put the Mountaineers ahead, then pushed the lead to 14 with a 39-yard pass to Alford midway through the quarter, and the West Virginia defense held the rest of the way.
