Griffin's first interception wraps up Missouri's victory
Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin
Baylor freshman Robert Griffin picked a bad time to throw his first interception.
Brock Christopher's interception with 1:40 left snapped Griffin's string of 210 passes without a pick and enabled the Tigers to escape with a tight 31-28 victory in Waco.
Jeff Wolfert's 34-yard field goal with 2:31 left provided the margin of victory. On the play preceding Wolfert's kick, Baylor safety Jordan Lake dropped a potential interception that would have given the Bears possession.
The victory is significant for a couple of reasons. It enables Missouri to keep pace with Kansas for the North Division lead. It also proves that Griffin and the Bears will be a tough challenge during the rest of the season and especially in the future.
