2015 Cotton Bowl Halftime: Baylor 24, Michigan State 14

The rushing offense has yet to arrive in Arlington today but Bryce Petty is definitely there, throwing for a Cotton Bowl record 245 yards in the first half.  Jay Lee also added 53 passing yards of his own on a trick play to Corey Coleman, who leads all receivers with 3 catches for 97 yards.

The defense also showed up in the second quarter forcing four straight stops against the Michigan State offense.  Outside of the one long run on the Spartans' first drive, Baylor has held MSU RB Jeremy Langford to 51 carries on 15 yards, a healthy YPC average of 3.4.  That performance allowed the Bears to score 17 points in a row headed into halftime, and we will receive the kick coming out for the first time in what seems like forever.
