Baylor at Oklahoma State: The OU game showed how much Baylor needs its veteran quarterback, Seth Russell, to operate the offense.
A lot of “ifs” are involved in those scenarios, but the point of the matter is: The Big 12 title is still up for grabs. But they haven’t won a game since September 19. “If we continue to play well, that means your quarterback is going to get a few recognition”. We just have to make sure we focus and don’t lose that focus. “Get that out, would you”.
The college football world will be paying close attention to what happens in both games, and if both the Cowboys and the Sooners win Saturday, it will set up a Bedlam like no other. This year, we will be prepared.
Showtime Sports will begin to give out sports betting info. starting this week with college football. The Cowboys’ schedule also allowed them to play their toughest conference games in Stillwater, where they are a far better team than on the road. The 10th-ranked Bears (8-1, 5-1) lead the nation in points and yards per game, and their defense has plenty of talent. Star receiver Josh Doctson has been ruled out for the regular season and quarterback Trevone Boykin is questionable with a sprained ankle. The Sooners’ junior quarterback has played his way into the Heisman Trophy conversation after another electric performance a week ago.
The Bears were handed their first loss of the season by the Sooners last Saturday, 44-34.
In particular, the Mountaineers strung the game out to overtime thanks to 255 yards on the ground, splitting carries between their top running backs. On the season, he has thrown for 1,007 yards with 11 touchdowns and 2 interceptions on a 71.4 percent completion percentage.

Hauling in 61 catches for 1,229 yards and 20 TD’s, do not be surprised when Coleman gets one of the invites to NY for the Heisman award ceremony.
The TCU offense is the pride and joy of the team, while the defensive side of the ball is what attracts criticism from naysayers across the nation. Sooners 31, Horned Frogs 24. Neither team can play defense should be a wild one.

Along with the excitement of two one-loss teams squaring off, this matchup also features a little bit of drama that carried over from last year’s game. Everything would be looking very rosy for Oklahoma and the College Football Playoff picture had the Sooners not stubbed their toe in a midseason loss to a Texas team that is still struggling to find its true identity under second-year head coach Charlie Strong. Mayfield was ineligible for the game, but played for Cumbie while at Texas Tech, which explains why the accusations were made in the first place.
