Oklahoma, Oklahoma State have much to play for

Then the Bears would have to hope that Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma, opening the door for a season-finale with Texas to mean something.

However, another sort of pain is ongoing – putting up with his girlfriend’s trash talk. Sooners fans are sure to be excited to hear that the team will be at full strength on offense for Saturday.

“She’ll be sitting on the 50-yard line and wearing all orange”, Mayfield said laughing.

Oklahoma is 5-1 ATS in its last six games.

“She can’t use that one anymore”. Oklahoma, 6. Oklahoma State and 9.

Can a One-Legged Frog Hop the Bears: Let’s point out the facts here – Shawn Oakman is a big dude, but not much of a football player.

The hype began 12 months ago. They were at a bagel cafe for breakfast and waiting on their carry-out order. Mayfield has been nothing short of spectacular this season. Who do you want at quarterback for the Cowboys, Mason Rudolph or JW Walsh? Why? “He’s going to make his plays, too”.

“That’s who I am”.

“He has made plays with legs, and his ability to run has kept drives going and has moved the chains”, Gundy said this week. “There’s a whole list of stuff that I don’t know about”.

So, forgive Lundblade for what happened early and often when paired one-on-one against Billings on Saturday night in Baylor’s 45-35 victory. The Heisman hopeful had a concussion last Saturday against TCU and sat out the second half.

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has been outstanding all season. KD Cannon turned five receptions into 210 yards as Baylor atoned for a 44-34 loss to Oklahoma last week. He never regained his starting job and decided he would give his childhood dream a shot: to play for Oklahoma. It’s a tribute to our program because, as we know, it’s hard for everyone to look at you and for you to deliver week after week after week after week.

“When he gets in there, he converts whenever he’s in”, Rudolph said. So I already had that self-confidence, and my dad pushed me a little bit and helped me realize this was my dream school growing up.

Oklahoma’s defensive resurgence has come at every position.

INJURY REPORT: Baylor – S Terrell Burt (Probable, undisclosed), TE Gus Penning (Questionable, shoulder), DT Byron Bonds (Questionable, knee), S Orion Stewart (Questionable, undisclosed), DL Beau Blackshear (Questionable, undisclosed), QB Jarrett Stidham (Out indefinitely, ankle), QB Seth Russell (Out for season, neck).

“He’s the one guy that you have to really appreciate”, Patterson said of Boykin. “It will be a lot of fun”. Chris Johnson is an unbelievable athlete, and can seemingly make all the throws. Behind Mayfield and a defense that ranks fourth in efficiency, the Sooners have beaten two College Football Playoff-ranked opponents this year.

It’s only fitting that the road will go through his girlfriend’s beloved Cowboys. “I might be in the minority here, but I don’t see any advantage in trading out the true freshman for the 6’5” third stringer.

“The implications to us are we’re trying to get back into the Big 12 hunt and have an opportunity to have another championship banner around here”, Baylor coach Art Briles said this week.
