Mayfield, Sooners top Oklahoma State 38-20 to win Big 12
As the Oklahoma State football team prepares for tomorrow’s big Bedlam game, we take a look at streaks on the line and other trends to look out for this weekend. At 5-7, Texas and Texas Tech could possibly be selected if not enough teams are available to fill all of the bowl spots. The sophomore ranks second nationally behind Christian McCaffrey with 195 all-purpose yards per game. The victor of the game will claim the Big 12 championship and a berth in the Sugar Bowl. But that narrative changes in 2017.
“I think there are so many facets of our game that are strengths this year but that we struggled with last year”, Rudolph said. The odds are very good the Big 12’s title game will feature a sequel to a game played weeks, rather than months, earlier. Bill Snyder’s team has won four of its last five, and is the pick to get another victory on the road to close out the regular season. In 2012 and 2014 both games needed overtime to decide the victor. In 2011, 2013, and 2015, the Bedlam victor hoisted the conference championship. trophy This year holds the same fate, as the victor gets the conference crown and a trip to the Sugar Bowl if the Big 12 does not have a team in the College Football Playoff.
Rudolph barely played during Oklahoma’s 58-23 win last season.
According to OU sports information service, the Sooners are 100-9 in Norman since Stoops took over in 1999, which is the second-best home record in the FBS during that spread behind Boise State, at 108-5. His production level dropped in Big 12 play.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – Baker Mayfield passed for 288 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 7 Oklahoma defeated No. 11 Oklahoma State 38-20 on Saturday in a matchup that decided the Big 12 champion and likely guaranteed the Sooners a trip to the Sugar Bowl.
Westbrook’s touchdown gave the entire Sooners’ team life, but his second quarter injury almost deflated any momentum they had built up.
Expect the Sooners to ride those running backs from the beginning to the end today. Worth has compiled 2,544 yards of total offense (1,181 rushing and 1,363 passing), 32 short of Keenan Reynolds’ school record, set in 2015. The Horned Frogs only allowed nine points from the Longhorns offense. But both teams know that they won’t have any case for inclusion at all without a win on Saturday. Alabama is ranked first in every category except for passing defense (11th, 178.1 yards per game), while Florida falls outside the top six in rushing defense (31st, 133.9 yards per game). However, this team gets scores from their stout defense.
Kansas State visits TCU to determine fourth place in the conference. Thirteen of them coming from the arm quarterback Kenny Hill. Owls QB Phillip Walker owns school records for career attempts (1,385), completions (805), touchdowns (71), yards (10,074) and wins by a starting quarterback (27).
JAMES WASHINGTON: Amid the hype around Westbrook around the state of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State’s James Washington has put together an impressive season, too.
