Baylor Bears: Joe Williams Interception/Lache Seastrunk’s 80-yard TD run
Matthew Emmons - USA TODAY Sports
Even though Robert Griffin III put Baylor on the map during his senior season, the expectations weren’t too high for 2012. For this reason alone, their top play for 2012 should come as no surprise.
On November 17th, Baylor – who was 5-5 at the time – stunned the nation by dismantling the No.1 team in the country, the Kansas State Wildcats, 52-24 in Waco.
I think the best play from the game, was when Baylor CB Joe Williams intercepted a pass on 4th & 10 at the Baylor 17, intended for Wildcats’ WR Tramaine Thompson. This was a huge statistic in the long run for Williams, as K-State QB Collin Klein was a Heisman finalist.
Due to how huge this game was, and the implications its’ loss had for K-State, it’s fair to Baylor to mention that the Bears went on to score on the play following the pick, when Sophomore RB Lache Seastrunk scored a touchdown on a tremendous 80-yard run for the final points of the game.
It’s a toss up, but considering a win for K-State would have all but assured a National Championship trip against Notre Dame, I’d say this game, and the plays listed, top this list.
