When you think of the Baylor Bears, a high-powered running game isn't generally the first thing that comes to mind. But the Bears had a historic night on the ground Tuesday against the North Carolina Tar Heels in a 49-38 victory in the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando, Florida.
No team has had worse luck at quarterback this year than Baylor. The Bears watched two QBs—Seth Russell and Jarrett Stidham—go down with season-ending injuries, while third-stringer Chris Johnson suffered a concussion earlier in the month.
In addition, Baylor was missing leading receiver Corey Coleman and leading rusher Shock Linwood through injury.
