No. 6 Baylor tops No. 8 Ole Miss in Sugar Bowl; Corral hurt
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! NEW ORLEANS — A Sugar Bowl showdown against Mississippi and coach Lane Kiffin’s explosive, Southeastern Conference-leading offense provided a high-profile platform for Baylor to validate its old-school formula of ball control and aggressive defense. “I’m appreciative that we had the opportunity, and we took advantage of it.” Corral, a dual-threat star QB and projected high-round NFL draft choice, became one of the big stories of the Sugar Bowl because of his decision to play, rather than opt out and minimize injury risks in advance of turning pro. “For that to be taken away like that really sucks.” Freshman quarterback Luke Altmyer took over for Ole Miss and led the Rebels to the Baylor 12-yard line on his first series, only to have his pass to the left flat tipped and then intercepted by Walcott, who raced down the right sideline for the only points of the first half. The Rebels’ defense managed to hold Baylor’s offense scoreless through three quarters, allowing Ole Miss to tie it on Altmyer’s 37-yard timing pass down the right sideline to Braylon Sanders.
