No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 11 Oklahoma St. play for Big 12 title

An Oklahoma State win would give the Cowboys three wins over Top 25 teams, but it doesn’t appear to be enough. Oklahoma State is 9-2, but their first loss of the season was the game against Central Michigan that was only lost due to an extreme bout of refereeing incompetence.

Currently, Gundy has two wins against the school down south, coming in 2011 in Stillwater and 2014 in Norman.

It’s another high-stakes Bedlam game for Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. The Big 12 will be left out for the second time in three years, with the victor going to the Sugar Bowl instead to face an SEC team (likely Auburn or Florida). The Sooners later permitted the Mountaineers to claw back 41-28 with 10 minutes to go but tacked on a couple more touchdowns to secure the victory and the cover as four-point favorites on the road.

Next year, the Big 12 championship will include the top two teams in the regular-season standings.

In hindsight, Gundy thinks Rudolph was too raw to realize how massive the game was to folks who live in Oklahoma. If you win your preseason games and you go the stretch in this league and you’re nearly undefeated, one loss or not, you got a chance to be in.

No. 10 Oklahoma State at No. 8 Oklahoma, 12:30 p.m., Fox: For the fourth time in the past six seasons, Bedlam will decide the Big 12 title, though this will be the first time the Sooners will have the opportunity to clinch the championship in Norman.

The victor claims the Big 12 title and would maintain slight hopes of a spot in the College Football Playoff. The Sooners have also been solid against the spread of late, winning back-to-back games at the betting window and going 3-1 against the number in their last four games overall.

The Big 12 has lucked into an nearly ideal situation this year. He’s thrown for 3,381 yards and 35 touchdowns this season.

Will we see 1,000 yards of passing in this game?

“According to his numbers, he’s a pretty good receiver”, Westbrook said of his Oklahoma State counterpart. The Badgers have only lost to MI and Ohio State by a touchdown each, and will be looking to pick up their fourth win against a team that was ranked in the top 10 at the time.

The Sooners have the form they did past year.

“It’s what you look forward to all season long, and previous year, I kind of let it slip through my grip”, he said.

“These guys have really worked hard to get us in the position where we are today”. The play-action keeps defenses honest. Rudolph completed only 50 percent of his passes for 207 yards. The Cowboys relied mostly on their running game, with both Chris Carson and Justice Hill rushing for more than 140 yards.

This week, defensive coordinator Mike Stoops was asked about coaching a special group of seniors one last time.

That’s why for those players on either team born into Bedlam while growing up in the state, it carries even greater meaning when the two teams square off. He’s not a banger, he’s more of a glider and on a wet field making those jump cuts and moves is especially tough.

“We knew he was going to be a great player two years ago”, Stoops said.
