Baylor guard LaQuan McGowan became a hero to really big offensive linemen everywhere on Thursday when he scored a pivotal touchdown during the third quarter against Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl.
McGowan, who is listed as 6-foot-7, 390 pounds, checked in as an eligible receiver and took the Michigan State defense by surprise when he hauled in a short pass from quarterback Bryce Petty for the 18-yard score.
The score pushed Baylor’s lead to 41-21 and halted any momentum Michigan State had gained while trying to crawl back into the game.
It also became the highlight of the contest.
McGowan, whose Baylor bio lists him as “enormous,” is a backup offensive lineman but looked quite nimble in his ability to catch, turn and score. Maybe Baylor should consider using him more often.
