Baylor junior quarterback Gerry Bohanon is expected to be back under center to lead the Bears’ offense against No. 8 University of Mississippi in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day, with redshirt freshman quarterback Blake Shapen likely unavailable. Shapen suffered a shoulder injury during the Big 12 Championship game and has not been practicing, with a poor chance of being ready for the Sugar Bowl.
