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.
In recent weeks, Baylor head coach Dave Aranda noticed improvements in Bohanon’s passing and running game, since the hamstring injury he suffered against Kansas State.
