Cowboys and Bears Even After One in Stillwater

In the Big Ten, fifth-ranked Iowa, at 10-0, is one spot out of the College Football Playoff pool.

The 2015 college football season continues Saturday, November 21, as the No. 6 Oklahoma State Cowboys meet the No. 10 Baylor Bears in a Big 12 showdown at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Less than a minute later, Oklahoma State got a scare when Brandon Sheperd was ruled to have fumbled and Baylor took it in for a touchdown. While TCU and Baylor lost the most, and Oklahoma State gained the most, Oklahoma is the one that actually sneaked into the driver’s seat.

That could be an opening for a Baylor offense that struggled against a tough Oklahoma defense last week.

If the Frogs lose this weekend, at least we can go into our Black Friday matchup looking to ruin Baylor’s season. But with No. 10 Baylor and No. 7 Oklahoma looming the final two weeks of the regular season, they’re in control of their playoff fate.

Jarrett Stidham’s back is not recovering as quickly as Art Briles had hoped.

This league is trying to make it harder, not easier, for the selection committee to evaluate its worthiness. “I knew if we were in their shoes we would have scored, too”. Third-string quarterback Chris Johnson made everyone more confident quite quickly. But now it is time to keep that state of mind to help keep the Bears’ quarterback of the future in good health. “That’s how it is here at Baylor”.

We haven’t heard much about either of these teams since they were left for dead about a month ago. Have Oklahoma State beat rival Oklahoma. Not just because quarterback Connor Cook is no certainty to play after an injury in the Maryland game last week – and if he doesn’t play, I can’t see Sparty getting close – but for the team to prove that they can survive through key injuries.

“We’re definitely a different team than at the beginning of the season”, Adams said. He is the nation’s active career sacks leader with 26.

Though they’re – deserving – underdogs in this one, I expect the Broncos to be really fired up for this one. “But he’s tall and disruptive in the backfield, so it’ll be a good challenge for us”. The total has gone over in 11 of Oklahoma State’s last 15 home games. I never want to hurt Ohio State (with) what it’s done for me as a person and also as a player. This game will be televised on ESPN, beginning at 10:30 p.m. Eastern.

BAYLOR BALANCE?: Baylor statistically has one of the most balanced offenses in college football, but that hasn’t been the case the past few games. He ran seven times for 36 yards in the first half against Oklahoma State, and failed to avoid contact several times. Stidham threw a touchdown to KD Cannon on Baylor’s next drive that gave the Bears a 14-0 run to start the game. Washington’s catch was highlight-reel material after juggling the ball and securing it in the end zone. A banged up true freshman going on the road, how does that make you feel, Emmanuel Ogbah?
