<p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears" class="sbn-auto-link">Baylor Bears</a> completed an improbable comeback in 2012 with an equally improbable comeback win over Texas Tech on Saturday, winning 52-45 in overtime over the Red Raiders to attain bowl eligibility for the third consecutive year. It marks the first time in program history that the Bears have made three straight bowls.</p>
<p>Texas Tech jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on rushing touchdowns by <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37972/seth-doege" class="sbn-auto-link">Seth Doege</a> and Kenny Williams. From there, the teams alternated scores through the game's first three quarters. Baylor finally completed the comeback early in the fourth quarter, when <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/160518/eddie-lackey" class="sbn-auto-link">Eddie Lackey</a> picked off a Doege pass and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown, putting the Bears ahead 35-31.</p>
<p>Tech struck back in just over two minutes, with a Doege touchdown pass to Darrin Moore capping a five-play, 71-yard drive. Baylor went 75 yards on 10 plays in just 3:26, retaking the lead with a <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75553/nick-florence" class="sbn-auto-link">Nick Florence</a> touchdown pass to Terrance Williams. Tech again stormed back, scoring after a six-play, 63-yard drive to retake a three-point lead. Baylor kicker Aaron Jones made a field goal with 2:48 left to tie the game at 45.</p>
<p>Lackey's second interception of the quarter gave Baylor the ball back at the Tech 32 with just seconds to play, but Jones missed a 48-yard field goal attempt, sending the game to overtime. Baylor scored first in the extra period on a four-play drive where the Bears did not throw the ball. Texas Tech took a holding penalty on the first play of their overtime drive, and a Doege pass to Eric Ward fell incomplete on fourth down to end the game.</p>
<p>Nick Florence finished with 396 yards passing and three scores. <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/113650/lache-seastrunk" class="sbn-auto-link">Lache Seastrunk</a> had 136 rushing yards on just 19 carries, and <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75552/glasco-martin" class="sbn-auto-link">Glasco Martin</a> added 98 yards and two touchdowns. Terrance Williams' 175 receiving yards led the Bears' pass-catchers. Red Raiders quarterback Doege managed 359 yards on 30-of-40 passing against the Baylor defense, but his three interceptions doomed Tech to defeat.</p>
<p>Baylor will now wait for its bowl destination. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ourdailybears.com/baylor-bears-vs-texas-tech-red-raiders/2012/11/24/3686736/the-baylor-bears-are-eligible-for-a-bowl-texas-tech">If Our Daily Bears' response is any indication,</a> the location won't much matter. The Bears do have one more game on the schedule, a Dec. 1 home matchup with Oklahoma State.</p>

<p>The Bears are picking up yards and a late score got them right back in the game. </p> <p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/texas-tech-red-raiders" class="sbn-auto-link">Texas Tech Red Raiders</a> lead the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears" class="sbn-auto-link">Baylor Bears</a> 21-14 at halftime of their Big 12 rivalry game in Lubbock.</p>
<p>The Red Raiders have never trailed after scoring the first two touchdowns of the game on a <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37972/seth-doege" class="sbn-auto-link">Seth Doege</a> 19-yard touchdown run and a Kenny Williams 5-yard touchdown run, both in the first quarter. The Bears answered with a <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75552/glasco-martin" class="sbn-auto-link">Glasco Martin</a> 1-yard touchdown run at the end of the first.</p>
<p>The Red Raiders built on their lead early in the second quarter on a 3-play, 75-yard drive culminating in a 23-yard touchdown pass from Doege to Eric Ward. The Bears were able to close out the half with an 8-play, 93-yard drive that ended in a 39-yard touchdown pass from <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75553/nick-florence" class="sbn-auto-link">Nick Florence</a> to <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/112991/levi-norwood" class="sbn-auto-link">Levi Norwood</a>.</p>
<p>Both teams are putting up offensive numbers. The Bears have outgained the Red Raiders 398-333, but five penalties for 60 yards have not helped.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/113650/lache-seastrunk" class="sbn-auto-link">Lache Seastrunk</a> has 113 yards on 11 carries for the Bears and Doege has 242 yards on 16-for-18 passing, one touchdown and an interception for the Red Raiders.</p>

<p>Baylor shoots for bowl eligibility against the Red Raiders on Saturday.</p> <p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears" class="sbn-auto-link">Baylor Bears</a> take on the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/texas-tech-red-raiders" class="sbn-auto-link">Texas Tech Red Raiders</a> on Saturday in a Big 12 battle at Cowboys Stadium.</p>
<p>Despite a four-game losing streak, Baylor is searching for bowl eligibility after a 52-24 dismantling of the No. 1 Kansas State Wildcats. For several weeks during the season, the Bears had sported the nation's best passing attack, but it was the run game that plowed over Kansas State. Lache Seastrunk and <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75552/glasco-martin" class="sbn-auto-link">Glasco Martin</a> combined to rush for 298 yards to power the Bears to the upset win. Baylor's offense now ranks second nationally at 566 yards per game.</p>
<p>The game is the last of the regular season for Texas Tech, who has lost three of its last four after starting the year 6-1. The Red Raiders are trying to recover from a 59-21 beating at the hands of Oklahoma State in which they gained 112 less yards than their average and committed three turnovers. Still, <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37972/seth-doege" class="sbn-auto-link">Seth Doege</a> completes 70% of his passes to lead the Red Raiders to the country's best passing offense at 362 yards per game.</p>
<p>Texas Tech leads the all-time series between the two schools, 36-33-1.</p>
