No. 8 Baylor hangs on to get past TCU

FORT WORTH, Texas — Bryce Petty threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Baylor returned two interceptions for scores and the No. 8 Bears hung on for a 41-38 victory over TCU on Saturday.

The Bears (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) scored 21 consecutive points on either side of halftime with just 1 yard from their high-powered offense and bounced back from a blowout loss at Oklahoma State to maintain their hopes for a share of the conference title.

Baylor could win the league outright and qualify for a BCS bid, likely the Fiesta Bowl, if it beats Texas and the Cowboys lose to Oklahoma next Saturday.

The Horned Frogs (4-8, 2-7) were in position to tie in the final seconds, but Casey Pachallthrew his third interception on a pass tipped by receiver Brandon Carter and grabbed by Baylor's Terrell Burt in the end zone with 11 seconds left.
