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.

I agree with a previous poster. If he doesn't get hurt, I don't think Drones plays.Ghostrider said:Branch155 said:CorrectGhostrider said:

To add more fuel, GB is not even running the ball with any authority either. I don't understand a lot of strategy but I know when players are not performing. He had open receivers but he either cannot find them or they have to make big time adjustments to get to the ball. You look at Shapen's throwing mechanics and he throws it like a shortstop going deep into the hole to get a fast runner out at first base.Futbol Bear said:
The BU offense is so one dimensional that Ole Miss is teeing up on the run game b/c they know GB isn't likely to throw the ball. Playcalling is not helping GB.

Well we have to shut them out.
Yep, that is on their O line.boognish_bear said:
On the bright side….we are in position to potentially win our first ever NY6 bowl game.
I admit it's not the most exciting way to win….but winning ugly is what this team does. Offensive juggernaut OM has 120 total yards at half.
Before Corral got knocked out he was 2 for 6 for 10 yards with 1 interception and 3 sacks.
Our defense is balling the hell out.

Kiffin is too good of an offensive mind not to try something totally out of the blue. One mistake and its a tie game. I don't like that.

Let's hope Shapen keeps progressing because this O is hard to watch.Jorkel said:kbrun said:

Not necessarily….If Shapen keeps progressing and is better at running the offense than GB, he won't be starting next year.
