The passing game sputted, Gerry Bohanon looked rusty (at best) in his first game back from injury, and it took three quarters for the offense to score, but the defense, led by Al Walcott, JT Woods, and Terrel Bernard, dominated and Abram Smith broke the single-season rushing record to lead the Baylor Bears to the first 12-win season in program history. Tonight’s win capped off one of the greatest turnarounds in recent memory after a 2-win season a year ago, and in Dave Aranda’s second year at the helm, Baylor had probably its best season of all time, winning the Big 12 Conference and a Sugar Bowl for the first time in 64 years.
