So much for Reggie McNeal's Heisman. The Texas A&M Aggies QB struggled against an inspired Baylor team on Saturday, throwing for just 135 yards and running for 78, anything but McNealean numbers. But amidst all the frustration, the Aggies star produced a clutch 8-yard run in overtime that handed A&M a first down and set up the Courtney Lewis touchdown that won it, 16-13, before an anxious crowd at Kyle Field.

Baylor Bears QB Shawn Bell burned a suspect Texas A&M pass defense for 215 yards, and RB Paul Mosley added 147 on the ground.

The Bears took an early 3-0 lead on a 26-yard field goal from Ryan Havens,
but a 1-yard Michael Bennett touchdown run put the Aggies back on top.

Price then found Trent Shelton for a short TD pass to tip the balance again,
and the score remained 10-7 until Texas A&M's Todd Pegram nailed a 25-yard
three-pointer with 56 seconds left to avert the upset.

Baylor settled for a Havens field goal when its drive stalled in OT, after
which McNeal broke out of his funk to make the difference.

It was the Big 12 opener for both teams, and both are now 3-1.
