Dave Aranda and the Baylor Bears are the Big 12 champions and will meet Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Day.

However, Aranda knows his defense will be tested like never before against Ole Miss QB Matt Corral.

On Monday, Aranda described the challenge of preparing to play a guy like Corral (via 247Sports):

“(F)or Matt Corral, I think he’s a guy that — surely he’s the engine for them,” Aranda said. “I see everything kind of going through him. He has a great awareness and patience in the pocket and can find guys that are clearly open, can thread the needle on one-on-one shots on the outside. When the rush is divided and conquered, can get out and scramble and make plays happen, which, for us, the majority of the year has been a struggle.

“But on top of all of those things, the thing you see about him is that he’s a winner, and he does not take to failure and he does not take to not succeed. And so you can see that fight in him, and that bleeds through to his team. And so what a battle we’ve got ahead of us.”

Can Corral and the Rebels take down the Bears? We’ll find out in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on Saturday night.
