I hope you took the OVER in the the Baylor-WVU game

I hope you took the OVER in the Baylor-WVU game

You knew going in that it would be a high scoring game. WVU was rated 3rd in the nation in passing, Baylor 5th. On the other hand, they were rated 53rd and 90th in defense.

But you didn't expect 133 points.

The score was 70-63 in regulation time. WVU's Geno Smith passed for 656 yards and 8 touchdowns, and was an unbelievable 45-for-51 with no INTs, but he barely exceeded Baylor's Nick Florence, who put up 581 passing yards of his own.

Is the score a record? Close, but no cigar. ESPN says, "The combined 19 touchdowns tied an FBS mark, last reached when Navy beat North Texas 74-62 in 2007. That matchup set the FBS record for most points in a regulation game at 136."

Baylor's Terrance Williams (314 yards) and WVU's Stedman Bailey (303 yards) both broke the all-time Big 12 record for receiving yardage in one game.
