It may have gotten dramatic down the stretch, but BYU outlasted Baylor Saturday for the first Big 12 road win in program history and a compelling 5-0 start to the 2024 season.
Crew Wakley played hero for the Cougars, snagging an interception with less than a minute to play to spoil a potential game-winning drive for the Bears.
Both Wakley’s clutch moment and the win as a whole caused plenty of online buzz from Cougar Nation.
Here are some of the best social media reactions about BYU’s win over Baylor.

5-0 BYU, folks. Doesn't matter how the Cougs got here, ain't one of us that predicted this. They're winning pretty. They're winning ugly. They're winning at home. They're winning on the road. They're winning at night. They're winning in the morning. They're just winning.

BYU's defense had their worst day of the season but stopped Baylor on their final three possessions. Came through when they had to.

that spin move to the inside is the difference between doing your job and making a play and winning a one on one.
