That Didn't Take Long

Not only did the college football season kickoff Friday night, but the featured TV game between TCU and Baylor also featured the first upset of the year.

In a very hard fought contest that had spectacular plays and sloppy ones on both sides, the lead changed hands 8 times until Baylor finally prevailed 50-48 - needing an interception in the closing seconds tto preserve the victory.

At one point, Baylor was ahead 47-23.

The game showed momentum shifts for each team, comebacks by both teams, perseverence on both sides, and a will to win from both teams. The outcome of the game clearly was in doubt until that final interception.

For the first game of the season, this one set a pretty high standard of play for the remainder of the season.

Larry,

There is such a big difference between the live games and the re-runs - even if you don't remember the outcome. :)

I watched that game and WOW, was all I could say! It certainly came down to the last couple seconds. I love the fact that Baylor got their first win over a ranked team since October 2004.

Todd,

I think they showed some real ability - especially in the first half and on their last drive. :)

Anytime you have a high scoring thriller where one team has a big lead evaporate, it's a great game. Enjoy your day!

Wayne,

Comebacks are exciting unless you're pulling for the team with the lead. :)
