He missed last Saturday’s 30-29 loss at Oklahoma, but threw for 148 yards and two touchdowns on Friday, including a ideal strike for a 25-yard TD to Jarrison Stewart on TCU’s first drive.

No. 5 Oklahoma (10-1, 7-1 Big 12, No. 3 CFP) at No. 9 Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1, No. 11 CFP).
Will Oklahoma be able to score the win on the road or will it be Oklahoma State?
With a win in this game, Oklahoma clinches the Big 12 title and considering that they are #3 in the polls, seals a spot in the College Football Playoff. Take that off the table, and the Sooners would be sitting as a bona fide playoff contender with the Big 12 wrapped up. We don’t need anyone to tell us that it’s a game we have to play our hearts out in. I mean, yeah, I’ve had a concussion before and I happened to get one on Saturday.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops didn’t know Notre Dame, one of the other contenders, lost to Stanford, until a reporter told him.
Devin Chafin ran for 119 yards and two scores, and caught a 4-yard TD pass in the first overtime, but was stopped short on a fourth-and-1 play to end the game.
“If there was ever going to be a year where you made a movie about the Sooners, I guess this would be the year”, Striker said. It’s rivalry week, and there are some games with serious stakes. “I lose track of how many touchdowns he accounted for tonight, but he was special again tonight”. That team is Oklahoma, which is why they are favored by a comfortable margin to pick up the win.
Safety Jordan Sterns: “It doesn’t affect me too much because I’ll be out there running around, but people better bundle up in the stands”.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield threw for 180 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 77 yards and a touchdown on the ground as he continued his push for Heisman consideration.
It was just the third time the rivals have met when both ranked in the Top 10. Despite being extremely one-dimensional, they actually went for 457 yards against a stout Sooner defense. The Sooners led by 24 at halftime and finished with 344 yards rushing.
At the start of the season, Walsh spent more time helping Rudolph along.
Gundy said Rudolph has settled down as the season has progressed.
TO WIN THE BIG 12: For Baylor to claim a third consecutive conference title, it has to win its last two games (against TCU, then December 5 at home against Texas), and No. 9 Oklahoma State has to win Bedlam at home against No. 5 Oklahoma on Saturday night.
This was a second straight lopsided defeat at home for Oklahoma State, which struggled to finish off drives against the Sooners.
In the six-game winning streak since that loss, Perine has 76 or more yards of total offense in every game and has at least 90 rushing yards in the last five. Quarterback Joel Lanning is coming off a career-high three touchdown passes, while tailback Mike Warren rushed for 195 yards. They have done a good job of trying to play to the strengths of both quarterbacks. “They did a great job in all parts of the game”.
