Saturday night’s Sugar Bowl matchup between Ole Miss and Baylor took a turn for the worst late in the first quarter, when Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral was forced out of the game after suffering an apparent right leg injury.
Corral remained on the ground in pain, and was eventually carted off the field to the locker room.
Corral, a junior who plans to enter the 2022 NFL draft, made a point to play in the bowl game as many draft-eligible players have chosen to opt out. Corral pointed to the chance to make school history with an 11th win and play one more time with his teammates as reasons for participating in the game.
