Baylor pulled away from Iowa State in its homecoming game at McLane Stadium, and the win clinched bowl eligibility for the Bears, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported.

Quarterback DJ Lagway scored on a first-half run past Iowa State cornerback Tyrone Cotton. Tight end Tony Livingston caught a one-handed touchdown pass over cornerback Seth Johnson in the second quarter.

Interim head coach Joe Klanderman had promised passion and energy, and the story said Baylor showed that on Saturday.
