Jeff Kopp's first career interception and 41 -yard return to the Baylor 22 set up the kick. Israel Ifeanyi intercepted another pass by Jeff Watson less than a minute later, setting up a 1-yard run by Walters with 5:32 left that made it 37-20. A 7-yard run by Watson with 1:56 remaining completed the scoring.
