No. 7 Baylor (11-2) will face No. 8 Ole Miss (10-2) in the All-State Sugar Bowl on Saturday evening in New Orleans at 7:45 p.m. CT inside the Superdome. 

Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “I think the bowl gives us an opportunity to show who we are. I think there is a stage there. There is a platform that we can -- whether it's people we interact with at the hotel, it's the people that are on our plane, it's the fans that are coming to see us, it's all the people that are going to be watching on TV, it's going to be an introduction to Baylor University. It's going to be an introduction to Baylor football and then to all of our last names in terms of not so much what we do, but how we do it and in terms of what drives us. I think that comes out. And so we want to put our best foot forward in regards to that.”

Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Ole Miss — Quarterback Matt Corral  

As Dave Aranda said earlier this week, Corral is the engine in the Ole Miss attack and a winner. This Saturday will be Corral's finale before hearing his name called as perhaps the top quarterback selection in April's NFL Draft. A true dual-threat, the junior has over 3,300 yards passing and 20 touchdowns with an additional 11 scores and nearly 600 yards rushing. Baylor's defense thrives on turnover opportunities, but Corral has thrown just four interceptions this year. 

Baylor — Quarterback Gerry Bohanon

The starting quarterback position is impossible to snub in this game as Bohanon returns from a hamstring injury that cost him the last ten quarters of play. It would have been fun to see what would have happened if Blake Shapen was available, but Bohanon got the party started and now fittingly has a chance to turn off the lights in sweet style. Aranda sounded confident in Bohanon's ability to move around, which is a plus, but he'll need to keep it clean and sharp in the passing game. It's been a while since he's seen a live-action opposing defense.

Grimes needs to find something that works for GB.

Get him in a rhythm. Short passes. Something

It is time to pull Bohannon. He just doesn't have it tonight.


For who?


What about our third string? Or didn't he travel? He may well have to come in if he did.

All right, I'm sold on Bohannon not being the starter next year.


Remember when Brewer got to start all last year when he obviously didn't have it anymore. Aranda and Grimes have to be ready to play Drones. Bohannon can't get it done.


Yah dark times dark times..as much as GB has been so so. CB last year was absolute poopoo. Utah found that out and liberty will next year.

They are typical ESPN which is same thing. But Joe Tessitore has done pretty good by Baylor in the past, including earlier this year.

When is Aranda going to realize that Gerry is not our QB? Hopefully we can fix this next year and not play him until he graduates like we did with Brewer!

As long as GB is healthy, he isn't coming out.

The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can move on to another talking point.

Yah he isn't great at it? And before anyone says anything about this running talent…seen glimpses of it this year but not really enough.

What a horrible offensive game to watch. May end up being one of the lowest watched sugar bowls ever.

We'll keep that in mind until his hammy acts up again. Ole Miss thought Superman was going all the way.

Nah just nothing to talk about other than a QB who should have sat out and now is injured.

I don't get running a play there when we could just safely kneel. Why risk a fumble in our own territory?

If Shapen were healthy, maybe he doesn't start. But he'd probably be in by now.

yep, let's hope they make some "adjustments" at half.

Shapen should be starter next year if healthy.

Poor clock management. Why are you not playing hurry up and wasting a near minute only to a timeout at 8 seconds. Wasted a drive when you need points.

That is the worst first half of offensive football from BU all year. I think even vs TCU was better.
