5 Saturdays Until Baylor Football: Let’s Remember When #5 Johnny Jefferson Destroyed North Carolina

2015 was a really weird year for the Baylor football team. There were plenty of high expectations coming off of the incredible 2014 season which saw the Bears just miss the College Football Playoff. However, quarterback injury after quarterback injury after quarterback injury left the Bears without a true quarterback to play in the last few games.

The highlight of this prolific running attack, which saw the Bears rush for a mind-blowing 645 yards, was #5 Johnny Jefferson.
