Entering the Cotton Bowl, Baylor ranked first in the country in yards per game (581.3) and first in points per game (48.8).

The last thing the Bears need are MORE offensive weapons.

But against No. 8 Michigan State on Thursday, No. 5 Baylor unleashed its newest offensive threat: 390-pound LaQuan McGowan.

The junior offensive lineman caught an 18-yard TD pass from Bryce Petty in the third quarter, and it was marvelous.

Sadly for the Bears, the Spartans scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to win, 42-41.

Fat guy touchdowns and football -- that's what New Year's Day is all about.
