Yards to Glory

99. Take A Knee

Baylor fumbles away game at goalline

Sept. 11, 1999: This has to rank as one of the biggest coaching blunders in recent memory. Baylor led UNLV 24-21 with 20 seconds left in the game. The Bears had the ball at the UNLV 8-yard line. Take a knee, win the game. Instead, coach Kevin Steele called a run. Almost predictably, Darrell Bush fumbled near the goal line. Kevin Thomas picked up the ball and ran it back 99 yards to win the game.
