Interception seals it - the Spartans are 2015 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Champs!

The on-field celebration begins!
   Riley Bullough's interception with two seconds left sealed Michigan State's dramatic, improbable victory in the 2015 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.
   Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty passed for 550 yards and three touchdowns - and lost. Michigan State's Connor Cook passed for 314 yards and two TDs, but was sacked just once compared to five times for Petty.
   While Baylor dominated the offensive yardage, the Bears also had an amazing minus-20 yards rushing. Michigan State owned the time of possession with 36:42 to Baylor's 23:18.
   Baylor simply wasn't able to burn enough clock to keep Michigan State from grinding its way back to the lead. The Spartans' winning TD and extra point came with a mere 17 seconds left in the game.
