Oklahoma State Releases Cinematic Highlights From Win Over TCU
The win against Baylor would give the Sooners nine wins on the year, which would already top last years win total with three more games to go after that.
“Jarrett matched expectations everyone had for him”, left tackle Spencer Drango said.
“It was enormous. You’re talking about a team that had not only dominated Baylor, but certainly had dominated the Big 12 the previous decade…” The Big 12 isn’t a fun conference and the notion that anyone thinks or still thinks a team in this league can go undefeated is sort of insane. “We expect nothing easy from here on out and we’re preparing for that”.
Briles believes the Bears will be prepared for the upcoming stretch because numerous players have a lot of experience winning big games during the last two Big 12 championship seasons.
“We’ve been in a bunch of big games since 2010, really”, Briles said. Patterson and the Frogs are just glad to be done with Oklahoma State, and able to put behind them the trip that was much longer than expected. “So, you look at past failures and productions and try to pull from the productions more than the others”. Staying on track for the Big 12 championship, taking one step at a time, is motivation enough.
Stidham had appeared in every game for the two-time defending Big 12 champion Bears before top-rated FBS passer Russell fractured a bone in his neck in their last home game October 24.
“It’s awfully good for our football program, it’s awfully good for Baylor University and it’s good for Waco, Texas”, Briles said.
Gundy knows he is going to need his team to be focused and motivated to win against a team that is not as good as what looms over the horizon.
The No. 12 Sooners (8-1, 5-1) have gone consecutive seasons without a conference title for the first time under coach Bob Stoops.
Arkansas is coming off one of the most freakish finishes in college football this year, and there have been a lot of insane finishes this year.
“They were having their way with us”, defensive coordinator Wally Burnham said. “It’s about a 12- to 13-minute drive to home and back here. That’s my landscape. And then our football players and our field, that’s it”. Baylor players spent the weekend listening to a variety of ESPN analysts, led by David Pollack, poke holes in their playoff pedigree after Thursday night’s 31-24 victory at Kansas State, the Bears’ only triumph by less than 18 points this season. Or did they? A disastrous season by the Auburn Tigers, yet Jeremy Johnson leads them to a 26-10 win over Texas A&M.
Baylor is arguably the best offensive team in the nation.
The Cyclones losses came at the hands of teams with a combined record of 46-8 (9-0 Iowa, 8-1 Toledo, 5-5 Texas Tech, 8-1 TCU, 8-0 Baylor and 8-1 Oklahoma).
They also were instrumental in helping Oklahoma State remain undefeated, along with Baylor, in the Big 12. Even if those plays do work, and your corners treat the Cowboys receivers as if they were told to cover planet Earth and only covered land, leaving the water unguarded, you at least get to police the ocean a little bit and catch a few breath before heading back out again.
On the Sooners’ next possession, it took five plays before Mayfield scrambled out of the backfield on third-and-9 with a 17-yard touchdown run to make it 21-3.
While head coach Paul Rhoads concedes it’s a similar set up as the 2011 game, he says the Cyclones are also still playing for something themselves.
