WACO, Texas – Johnny Jefferson must be a little more famous this semester, right?

That would make sense. All he did with his winter break was rush for 299 yards in Baylor’s Russell Athletic Bowl upset of North Carolina.

Jefferson was one of the kings of bowl season, finishing with exactly 1,000 rushing yards on the season after leading the Bears to a record-shattering 645-yard rushing performance. He made a name for himself. So how’s that paying off around campus?
