The improving Hoosiers (3-3, 1-2) missed a chance to beat a Top 10 for the first time since 1987.

NO. 11 BAYLOR 49, KANSAS 7: WACO, Texas — Seth Russell threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores playing only the first half, and Ryan Reid returned the first of his two interceptions for a score for Baylor.

Tulsa (4-2, 1-1 American) had a chance to tie it, but Jesse Brubaker was stopped just short of the goal line after a reception on the last play of the game.
