Cannon recorded 14 catches, two touchdowns and a Cactus Bowl-record 226 yards as Baylor came away with a 31-12 victory over Boise State in Phoenix.
Cannon finished his career with 195 receptions for 3,113 yards and 27 touchdowns. They were never seriously challenged thereafter.
The junior receiver revealed on Twitter he will forgo his senior season of college football and declare for the NFL draft.
The first half was a good one for the Baylor Bears and they held tough in the third quarter as well to hold a 24-6 lead after the third. “He gets the job done, he is a big playmaker”. “We’ve been through a lot of adversity together”.
The game will be played at Chase Field, home to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Baylor has a new coach in Matt Rhule from Temple, but he won’t be coaching in this one. Smith passed for a career-high 377 yards in a 54-35 loss to Texas Tech on November 25.
The 12 points Baylor surrendered were the lowest since holding Kansas to seven points on October 15.

“I didn’t see that coming”.
Baylor wide receiver KD Cannon intends to apply for early eligibility into the 2017 NFL Draft.
Baylor Linebacker Aiavion Edwards said the win was huge for the team.
Boise State looked poised to pull within four when it drove down to the Baylor 7-yard line, but Brett Rypien was picked off by Orion Stewart in the end zone, killing any kind of momentum the Broncos were able to gain during the possession. He is the first Bronco in school history to post consecutive seasons with at least 20 touchdowns.
Before Baylor and Boise State met in the Cactus Bowl, the hosting venue required a transformation. Smith finished his first bowl appearance with 375-yards passing and three touchdowns, an impressive outing for a true freshman quarterback on a previously struggling Bears team.
The Boise State Broncos won 10 games for the second time in head coach Bryan Harsin’s third season.
Following a Boise State field goal, Smith completed short passes to Chris Platt, Ishmael Zamora and Cannon. “Any time you can do that around Zach, he’s going to do his part and put you in a great situation to win”.
It wasn’t just Moxey who got picked on by Cannon. “We weren’t able to run it as much as we would have liked to”. What do you say we try and make it a little more exclusive next year: Have a winning record, or you don’t make it to a bowl game. Linwood, projected as no higher than a fourth-round pick, had 751 yards rushing this season.

After his foot grazed a Boise State special teamer’s helmet, he recoiled as if he had been hit by a auto, and proceeded to roll around on the ground as if he had been hit by a second vehicle.
