Baylor vs. Oklahoma State live stream
But now it is time to keep that state of mind to help keep the Bears’ quarterback of the future in good health.
Huge game for USC here and Norte Dame if you think about it. If USC wins out they can make it to the Pac 10 championship game. He is expected to start this Saturday, but likely not at 100 percent. After rushing for at least 276 yards in each of their first seven games, the Bears were held to 103 yards against Kansas State and 159 against Oklahoma. Despite a good effort by freshman quarterback Jarrett Stidham, who threw for 257 yards and two scores, he was picked off twice and showed his lack of experience.
Baylor still brings the nation’s top offense to Lewis Field. The Bears also boast the nation’s top receiver.
No. 17 North Carolina (9-1) has been on a roll of late but Larry Fedora’s club will need to be sharp when it travels to Blacksburg to take on Virginia Tech (5-5) at 11 a.m. It will be the legendary coach Frank Beamer’s last home game and you can rest assured the Hokie players will lay it all on the line for their leader.
All four of our handicappers are going with either side of games with spreads ranging from a single point to a touchdown or less. The Buckeyes have allowed just 58 yards rushing in their last two games. Junior tailback Shock Linwood leads the attack with 1,149 yards (7.4 per carry) and 9 TDs.
#18 TCU at #7 Oklahoma – 8pm on ABC: A awful loss earlier this season to Texas is the only thing stopping Oklahoma from being in the top 4 in the CFP rankings, and two more wins against ranked opponents TCU and Oklahoma State should get them in the playoffs regardless of what the other teams ahead of them do in the next three weeks.
Another prime-time opportunity against TCU awaits this week.
Now is the time for Ohio State to rise to the occasion and prove why it was picked by nearly every media outlet in the preseason, including Lindy’s, to win the national title.
The Bears must also get pressure on the Cowboys’ quarterbacks, forcing them to stick with either Rudolph or Walsh for the entirety of the game. The defense overall has yielded 24.5 points (51st) and 393 yards (61st) per game. Baylor is 5-6 against Oklahoma State in Waco over that same stretch. The Pokes’ defense held the Cyclones to 28 yards in the final 16 minutes.
Fortunately, the Playoff committee weighs heavily how teams are playing at the end of the season, and since losing to Texas, no team in college football is playing better right now in all aspects of the game that the Sooners.
The Horned Frogs have only one loss on the season but they have played less than decent in the last two weeks.
Rudolph was initiated into college football against the Bears past year. The running game has not been setting the nation on fire-95th best with 144.6 yards per outing.
MI is 1-13 ATS after scoring 35 or more points in its previous game, including 1-8 SU and 0-9 ATS in the last 9.
OSU has been winning with a predominate passing game, but might need to find a few running lanes. He’ll be looking to bounce back. He will want to get rid of the ball quickly.
“We’re actually in the situation now where our vision is pretty tunnel”, Baylor coach Art Briles told reporters. He played sparingly in mop-up duty a year ago and this year as a receiver (3-37).
