Baylor (11-2) entered the fourth quarter of the 79th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic leading 41-21, yet Michigan State was able to seize the momentum and dominate the final 15 minutes.
Fans roared when the Spartans blocked a late field goal to set up the winning touchdown, a 10-yard TD from Connor Cook to Keith Mumphrey with 17 seconds left.
Baylor still had time for one last try, but Baylor QB Bryce Petty threw an interception to end any hopes of a last-second miracle.
