Of course, Saturday’s blockbusters – Baylor at Oklahoma State and TCU at Oklahoma – will go a long way in sorting this out. That means that OSU-Baylor needs to be a close OSU win and TCU-Baylor needs to be a close game either way to keep them both in the top 25.

UCLA is coming off a 27-31 home loss to Washington State. The ISU offense outgained Texas 223-98 yards in the first half. Texas had only 85 passing yards and converted only 2 of 13 third downs. Both Notre Dame and OU played Texas. In Oklahoma’s five-game winning streak, he has completed 75 percent of his passes (89 of 119) for 1,207 yards with 12 TDs and two interceptions. No. 10 Baylor (8-1, 5-1) plays at Oklahoma State, and the Sooners host No. 11 TCU (9-1, 6-1).
OU only scored 17 points in that game.
In 2010, ISU beat Texas in Austin and Texas Tech in Ames. The Cyclones were 5-7 that year. Glidden says coaches did a great job “adjusting” and didn’t beat around the bush in addressing the change.
That was all part of the plan for Mayfield however, whose parents didn’t mind paying the out-of-state tuition for a semester as the transfer, and it’s scholarship implications, were sorted out a year ago.
IMPACT PLAYER: Two-time walk-on quarterback Baker Mayfield has thrown at least three touchdowns in eight games this season for Oklahoma. Nine of the 10 rank outside the top 60 in total defense.
“He has been through so much this season”, Oklahoma center Ty Darlington said Monday. “And to make sure, like this coming week, to make sure we’re better than we were a week ago”. Mayfield has Sterling Shepard, who, I believe, is the best receiver in the Bob Stoops era.
“This team gives us flexibility to do a lot of different things”, brother Mike Stoops said last week. “That is something we have to continue to do”. “We’re actually in the situation now where our vision is pretty tunnel”. That’s not in one particular area, we’re playing well in offense, defense and special teams. “You know we have”. “As good as it’s looking, it can look better”. He finished 27-of-32 for a completion percentage of 84 percent.
Lynch is a top candidate for the Heisman Trophy this year. Maybe they come out flat Saturday night and I look like a moron, but given everything in front of this team right now I just do not see that happening.
“They’re a really good run team”. “It helps, man, when you’ve got 10-plus starts and you’re settled in and see things happen a lot slower”, Rudolph said. Will the senior be able to play?
“We learned we got exposed”. You try to uplift him and stuff, but he got hit a couple of times early and …
I’ve had a deep respect for Alabama football going back to the first day Bear Bryant called me in our Norman home one Sunday in 1974 to kick off the recruiting process. But if you’re playing devil’s advocate, you might wonder whether or not a few of that praise starts to creep in.
“He understands Lincoln’s (Riley) offense”. I know the system.
The Sooners’ 710 yards were the most by an opposing team since Baylor had 743 yards in 2013. A Baylor upset at OSU would be costly as well and would put a dent in OU’s argument if an Oklahoma vs Notre Dame national debate plays out.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said there’s “no question” there’s a connection between Perine’s improved numbers and the Sooners’ offensive success in recent weeks. Big 10 (3), and Big 12 (4) dominate the landscape of teams with somewhat viable playoff hopes.
“They were excellent… the only points that they surrendered were off of the short field”.

OU cornerback Dakota Austin said the Sooners are getting ready for the stretch run. Obviously, there was more to him leaving than just simple miss communication, and if you want to hear more of the story, you can check it out here.
