Oklahoma WR Westbrook has concussion-like symptoms
After the game, Mayfield delighted Sooner Nation by announcing his intentions to return to Norman for his redshirt senior season. The Sooners came from a horrendous and disheartening 1-2 start to become the first Big 12 team to go 9-0 against the conference in the era of the round-robin schedule and the first team, period, to run the conference table since 2009.
Oklahoma is the Champion of the Big 12 for the second straight year.
Fox will broadcast the game beginning at 11 a.m.
At that time, Oklahoma led their in-state foe by 11 points. Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield didn’t throw a pass until the Sooners’ third possession. It doesn’t matter. Think anybody’s going to be feeling bad for us when we’re missing a guy?
ANNAPOLIS, Md. – Phillip Walker threw two touchdown passes, Temple’s defense stuffed Navy’s running game and the Owls claimed their first American Athletic Conference title with a 34-10 victory Saturday. After a rocky start to the season that featured losses to Houston and Ohio State, the Sooners dominated Big 12 play and extended their conference winning streak to 16 (tying Alabama for most consecutive conference victories).
Oklahoma State struck next, cutting through the Sooners defense for a touchdown.
Both teams still have College Football Playoff aspirations but will need to deliver something exceptional to play into the minds of the selection committee. Our players, they didn’t say anything. The last time that happened? “We took it personally. Then, we can worry about the playoff system next Monday”.
And Mayfield made it known Saturday that he’ll be back in 2017.
Oklahoma State rallied in the fourth quarter to win in overtime in Norman two years ago, and the Cowboys took a 17-10 lead on Mason Rudolph’s 6-yard touchdown run late in the first half. Oklahoma State brought a gameplan that included a heavy dose of Justice Hill and Chris Carson, and it worked for most of the game. But he is healthy this season.
“I’ll be here another year for a three-peat”. This was a challenging year for different reasons that people will never understand, but I couldn’t be more proud of our kids to overcome all of that.
After falling behind 17-10, the Sooners marched 76 yards in a minute and a second right before the half, scoring on a 10-yard pass from Mayfield to Geno Lewis. Westbrook led Oklahoma receivers with 111 yards.
By Week 5 in the season, Oklahoma had gone from No. 3 to completely out of the top-25 rankings. The junior led the Sooners with nine tackles.
JAMES WASHINGTON: Amid the hype around Westbrook around the state of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State’s James Washington has put together an impressive season, too. His breakaway speed will cause problems, especially if the Cowboys can establish the run.
In the postgame press conference, Stoops talked about getting to win the conference at home and said the players were excited about that possibility.
That was bad. TCU failed to appear in really any form or fashion on a cold, rainy senior day that saw Kansas State run for 336 yards on their way to 495 yards of total offense. The Sooners had 40 total yards in the first quarter and finished with 629. He’s a force as a runner, receiver and return man.
