They did this with an offense they didn’t play for the majority of the season, an offense UNC couldn’t have really known was coming, other than some hints from what Baylor did in its last game against Texas.
Jets on verge of playoffs _ with Rex Ryan standing in way
People thought that the offense wouldn’t be terrific, but that the defense could help the team compete with the Patriots. Buffalo can’t make the playoffs, but it can finish 8-8 and in the process spoil the Jets’ playoff hopes.
What’s more – though hindsight is 20/20 – the injuries that caused doubts even among the Baylor faithful caused head coach Art Briles and co-offensive coordinator Kendal Briles to reinvent their already innovative offense to show audiences a new side to this potent offense. This improved offensive output allowed them to win several close games that they would’ve lost in previous years.
Johnny Jefferson rushed for 299 yards on 23 carries as the Bears won the Russell Athletic Bowl, 49-38, over North Carolina in Orlando, Fla., on Tuesday. The Bears were without it’s top two quarterbacks an award-winning receiver, and a 1,000-yard running back.
“It’s very important for us to have a strong performance”, senior wide receiver Jay Lee said. Baylor’s whole identity is ‘physicality travels.’ That’s all we preach. “We had a two-game losing streak at the end of the season, so obviously it doesn’t feel good”.
North Carolina is playing in their seventh bowl game in eight seasons, they are led by quarterback Marquise Williams, he’s a dual-threat guy that can put points on the board for the Tar Heels. Elijah Hood was probably the most underrated running back in college football this year.
The answer became apparent early. They continued to use the quintet in multiple formations throughout the game.
The defense’s highlight, and perhaps the game-breaker of the night, came in the second half when junior linebacker Aiavion Edwards forced a fumble on the goal-line which was recovered by junior safety Orion Stewart in the end zone for a touch-back. The last couple of weeks, we’ve had some of the best practices that we’ve had.
Baylor will be without All-American receiver Corey Coleman who underwent hernia surgery and running back Shock Linwood, who is sidelined with a broken foot. Two plays later, it was Lynx with a big 37 yard play to set up first and goal on the Tarheel three. Fournette had two rushing touchdowns of 2 yards, ran for TDs of 43 and 4 yards and took a screen pass 44 yards for another score. Baylor was sort of in the same boat as they were always considered somewhat of an outsider as “just another one of those high scoring Big 12 teams”.
Fedora said he thought the Bears would throw the ball more with Johnson at quarterback or would have the level of success they did rushing the ball. “That, to me, is been the most impressive thing”, Briles said of Fedora. The Tar Heels felt proud of what they’d accomplished – their 11 victories tied the school record, and the appearance in the ACC Championship was a first – and yet at the same time they tried to make sense of a hard, demoralizing defeat.
Brice Johnson has played well for the Tar Heels since Kennedy Meeks’ injury.
