PHOENIX — As the 2016 Baylor football season drew to a close with a 31-12 win against the Boise State Broncos in the Cactus Bowl at Chase Field in Phoenix, 10 of Baylor’s 12 senior players took the field as Bears for the last time.
“It’s got to be very rewarding for our guys,” head coach Jim Grobe said. “The things that we’ve gone through this season have maybe been hardest on the seniors. And so for our seniors to hang in there the way they have, show the leadership they’ve shown, and to actually finish it off — I think it just tells you what kind of character our kids have.
