THE STORY OF 2015 COTTON BOWL CLASSIC



From 1997 to 2013, the Cotton Bowl Classic pitted Big 12 Conference and

Southeastern Conference teams against each other. In 2014, Michigan State was

runner-up in the Big Ten Conference's East Division, and Baylor was Big 12 co-

champion with TCU.

After falling behind by 20 points, Michigan State staged a dramatic comeback in the

fourth quarter to beat Baylor by a score of 42–41. This was the highest scoring Cotton

Bowl ever, and the fourth bowl game in a row for Michigan State where they won after

trailing at halftime.

The 79th Cotton Bowl Classic featured the Michigan State Spartans (10-2, 7-1 Big

Ten) against the Big 12 Co-Champion Baylor Bears (11-1, 8-1 Big 12). Michigan State

was making its first Cotton Bowl appearance while Baylor was making their third.

Michigan State was delegated as the away team and wore their typical white uniform

with green helmet. Baylor, being the home team, wore an all green uniform with a gold

chrome helmet (previously worn during their thrilling 61-58 win over TCU). Michigan

State won the coin toss and elected to receive the opening kickoff.

The win resulted in Michigan State's school record fourth straight bowl win and

second straight New Year's Day bowl win. Baylor's loss made it their third in the

Cotton Bowl (0-3 all time). Despite losing, Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty and

linebacker Taylor Young were awarded offensive and defensive MVP respectively.

Michigan State finished the season ranked #5 in both polls (tied with Florida State in

the AP poll) while Baylor finished #7 in the AP and #8 in the Coaches.
