Happy Bedlam, and Happy Thanksgiving! Should Mayfield play against Oklahoma State, we think the Sooners will win, giving them the Big 12 title. After about three minutes, officials called the game. The NCAA’s active sack leader will be trying to cause havoc in the OU backfield and Ogbah will be looking to add to his stat total of 59 tackles and 12 sacks on the season. Eventually, true freshman Mason Rudolph stepped in and helped the Cowboys beat Oklahoma and win the Cactus Bowl. “It’s good that you can be a little different late in the season”.

TCU isn’t the only team wondering about its quarterback situation, as Baylor head coach Art Briles lost another quarterback last week when Jarrett Stidham suffered a broken ankle.
This is a game where the Cowboys we have seen this season might not be the Cowboys we see on Saturday.
Both teams scored on their initial overtime possessions, TCU on Trevone Boykin’s one-yard touchdown run and BU on Devin Chafin’s four-yard touchdown reception from first-time quarterback starter Chris Johnson; that was the Bears first completed pass since the first half.
The biggest Big 12 game of the week might not start for a while.
OSU cornerback Kevin Peterson will likely be assigning the treacherous task of slowing down Shepard, but Peterson is plenty capable of doing just that.
It was a night fit for neither man nor beast, but in the end it was the Horned Frogs that made just enough plays to knock the Bears out of not only Big 12 but playoff contention as well.
-DT Andrew Billings had the best game of a balanced defensive effort against Oklahoma State.
With the win last season, the Bears took a 52-51-7 lead in the series that is the most-played for both schools that are only about 90 miles apart. The Sooners must be able to disrupt the Cowboys’ offensive flow and get pressure on the quarterback.
Is this the biggest and most important Bedlam game ever?
You get the picture. James Washington is averaging 20.2 yards on his 45 catches. Marcell Ateman is the third threat of OSU’s dynamic trio. Billings, No. 75, will be the one to keep your eye on.
As good as that group is, this’ll be their toughest test of the year. Jordan Thomas, Zack Sanchez, and company will have their hands full on Saturday and must come up with another huge performance.
And that pass rush is no joke.
“Everybody is focused”, OU standout linebacker Eric Striker said this week.

“As the season goes on, there’s not as much mentoring going on as there was in the beginning”, Walsh said. Walsh has also run for 235 yards and 11 scores. All of this, coupled with the fact that Shawn Oakman, Baylor’s other freak on the defensive line, has a problem keeping his motor going on every play, makes Billings the most important player to Baylor’s success defensively.
