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.

Really good opportunistic defense and Abram Smith won us a lot of games.

Why are the letting GB throw deep? He can't do it reliably. Keep it short or run it.

That was so underthrown Tyquan had no idea where the ball was. GB is a liability my friends. We all knew this was coming. D tired. Crowd into it. We can still win but damn this is ridiculous.

Underthrown badly. Dang. We needed at least 3 on that drive. At least our defense got a break

You seem angry.


You know who's angry. All the Baylor fans at the game who dropped a ton of money on this game. I'm stuck in Chicago airport. About to throw my beer at the window.

Best under thrower of all time


Throws off his back foot all the time. Horrible coaching to never fix that.

Maybe. But that was maybe 10% of the problem. The throw was horrible

If Baylor loses to a Matt Corral-less Ole Miss team, neither Baylor nor the Big 12 will live that loss down for quite some time.


I don't think I'll watch the next New Years 6 Bowl we are in if so. We'll be 0-4 with losses to UCF, a 21 point 4th Quarter collapse and a QB less Ole Miss.

When the announcer said, "green light to go deep", I told my wife, "absolutely not". Get the first down

I never tell my wife no to going deep.

This is bad. Announcers are correcting his footwork!!!! Where have you seen that this Bowl season? You people really think he is better than Shappen?????

This is one of those situations when a team begins to lose confidence with its leadership. Or, the defense begins to lose confidence in the offensive side. Team unity erodes. CDA needs to show leadership here.

Drones can't be worse than this. This is the definition of ineptitude.

Unless the D can get a turnover and we're in FG range, we have limited hope of scoring again.
