Baylor defense forced three turnovers.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – With a chance for its road win ever at West Virginia, Baylor came up inches short on a fourth-and-goal play in regulation and then turned it over in the second overtime, falling 27-21 to the West Virginia Mountaineers Saturday afternoon.
The Bears (1-1), falling to 7-8 all-time in overtime games, tied it up with 1:19 left in regulation on Charlie Brewer's 34-yard TD pass to Josh Fleeks and then matched a West Virginia score in the first OT period with Brewer's 25-yard toss to tight end Ben Sims on the first play.
But, on the first play of the second overtime, Brewer overthrew running back Trestan Ebner on a seam route and was picked off by cornerback Tykee Smith in the back of the end zone.
West Virginia (2-1, 1-1) won it with Leddie Brown's second touchdown run of the day, this one from three yards out, as the Mountaineers bounced back from a 27-13 loss to Oklahoma State on the opening weekend of Big 12 play.
Baylor got behind early, with West Virginia taking the opening kickoff and driving 70 yards in 15 plays. Quarterback Jarret Doege capped the time-consuming drive with a one-yard keeper on an option play.
The Bears struggled to move the ball all day on offense, finishing with just 256 yards and 15 first downs. West Virginia had six quarterback sacks and held a normally potent rushing attack to just 27 net yards on 33 attempts.
Baylor's defense kept them in it, though, coming up with three first-half turnovers with a fumble strip and recovery by William Bradley-King and interceptions by JT Woods and Terrel Bernard.
After failing to convert on the first two takeaways, missing two field goals, the Bears tied it up at 7-7 midway through the second quarter when Brewer hooked up with receiver RJ Sneed on a third-and-goal from the 7-yard line.
Getting the ball back in the final minute before intermission, Baylor had another chance to get on the board and take its first lead of the game, but Noah Rauschenberg's 51-yard field goal attempt was blocked.
West Virginia went back on top late in the third quarter with another time-consuming drive, going 72 yards on 11 plays and punching it in from the 1-yard line on a Brown run. After back-to-back 100-yard games, Brown had 93 yards on 27 totes and scored two of the Mountaineers' four touchdowns.
Still unable to get the offense on track for most of the second half, Baylor caught a break when West Virginia turned it over again on a muffed punt return. Taking over at the 27, the Bears got to within the cusp of the goal line when the officials ruled that John Lovett was stopped short on a fourth-and-goal from the 1.
Using all of its time outs to get the ball back with just under two minutes to play, Baylor got a quick strike when Brewer hit Fleeks over the middle and he turned it into a 34-yard touchdown that tied it up at 14-14 with 1:19 left in regulation.
Baylor's defense nearly came up with a stop on West Virginia's first series in overtime, but the Mountaineers converted on a fourth-and-1 from the 16 and then scored on Doege's six-yard TD pass to Bryce Ford-Wheaton.
It took the Bears just one play to answer with Brewer's 25-yard TD pass to Sims, but the interception on the next play proved costly as the Bears fell to 3-5 in overtime games on the road. Last year, Baylor was 2-1 in overtimes, beating TCU and Texas Tech and falling to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game.
After a bye, Baylor will host Oklahoma State for Homecoming on Oct. 17 at McLane Stadium.
