The Baylor Bears shocked the favored Boise State Broncos to win the 2016 Cactus Bowl 31-12 from Chase Field in Phoenix on Tuesday night.
Wide receiver KD Cannon headlined the win by setting a Cactus Bowl record with 226 yards on 14 catches to go with a pair of touchdowns. His quarterback benefited the most from his huge night as Zach Smith posted 375 yards and three scores in the win.
Boise State was expected to roll in this game, as it entered Tuesday night as seven-point favorites, according to OddsShark. Baylor, who was 6-6 during the regular season, was riddled with off-field issues before losing six straight games and having top rusher Shock Linwood skip the Cactus Bowl and declare for the 2017 NFL draft.
