  • As the final seconds ticked away, Baylor fans began storming the field.

The Baylor Bears pulled off an upset over the Oklahoma on Saturday, handing the Sooners their first loss of the season with a 27-14 victory.

While the result was not in doubt in the final seconds of the game, a chaotic scene unfolded as Baylor fans stormed the field a second too early.
