MSU comes back to win the Cotton Bowl, 'never lost belief'

The clock read 4:03 remaining in the third quarter when 390 pound lineman LaQuan McGowan scored on an 18 yard touchdown reception to give Baylor a 41-21 lead in the 79th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. That was enough for MSU.

MSU wins one of the most improbable Cotton Bowls. Ever.

It looked like MSU was going to get run out of the building. Trailing 34-14 and then 41-21 after giving up countless deep passing touchdowns of over 45 yards, but a surprise onside kick changed the momentum and gave MSU their first Cotton Bowl championship. A blocked field goal incited the winning drive, and MSU won maybe the most improbable Cotton Bowl in a long time.

HALFTIME: Baylor leading 24-14

When two teams average 48 and 43 points per game, a shootout in the first half shouldn't come as much of a surprise. There were almost as many touchdowns as punts in the first half, and when the dust settled Baylor went into the locker room leading 24-14.
