Trailing 27-0 less than 17 minutes into the game, Baylor football could have thrown in the towel.
Instead, the Bears clawed back within 10 of the TCU Horned Frogs and missed on a fourth-down try that could have made things even tighter.
Sparked by big plays, including a 67-yard punt return by Derius Davis, TCU (2-3) held on for a 33-23 victory Saturday afternoon in the Bears' first home game at McLane Stadium in 35 days.
Baylor (1-3) took some momentum into the locker room when the defense forced a turnover and the offense capitalized with a one-yard TD pass from Charlie Brewer to tight end Ben Sims, cutting the deficit to 30-7.
The Horned Frogs tacked on a 34-yard field goal by Griffin Kell early in the third quarter after Darwin Barlow broke off a 74-yard run.
But, the Bears' comeback started with a big fourth-down stop by Terrel Bernard and Brayden Utley. Sims, who had a career-high four receptions for 40 yards, grabbed a three-yard TD pass from Brewer that made it a 33-14 game.
Feeling a significant momentum switch, Baylor appeared to score another touchdown when Brewer found Trestan Ebner down the right sideline. But, Ebner stepped out at the 8-yard line, and the Bears had to settle for a 27-yard field goal by John Mayer.
When the defense forced another three-and-out, Baylor came up with a quick answer, with Craig "Sqwirl" Williams finishing off a five-play, 71-yard drive with a 32-yard touchdown, his third career TD. Brewer missed on the two-point conversion that would have made it a one-score game.
Driving from its own 9-yard line, Baylor marched into TCU territory, but safety Trevon Moehrig broke up a 4th-and-3 pass to Sims. The Horned Frogs were able to run out the last 6 ½ minutes and escape with the win.
After a slow start, Brewer was 17-of-37 for 203 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Williams had a career-high 82 yards on nine carries, while Ebner had a game-high 204 all-purpose yards.
Baylor is on the road for its next two games, facing No. 23 Iowa State (4-2, 4-1) at 6 p.m. next Saturday, Nov. 6, in Ames. The Cyclones defeated Kansas, 52-22, in Lawrence, bouncing back from a 24-21 loss on the road at Oklahoma State.
