Some things to know about the most-played series for the schools separate by about 90 miles. That being said the Sooners, here are 3 defensive expectations for the Sooners. You just feel like you’re on top of the world. But for us it will be a fun game. There was a problem in the second half against TCU with a few key breakdowns, but it came through when it absolutely had to with the two-point conversion stop to save the day. After scoring again, the Frogs stopped Devin Chafin short on a fourth-and-1 play to end the game.
If the Cowboys win, they may need Baylor to lose to either TCU or Texas to realistically make the playoffs because the Bears hold the head-to-head advantage over Oklahoma State. Fifth-ranked Oklahoma (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) can clinch the Big 12 conference title with a victory over the ninth-ranked Cowboys (10-1, 7-1).

TCU’s defense has not been what they needed this season, the last three weeks they gave up 49 to Oklahoma State, struggled to beat Kansas and couldn’t get off the field against Oklahoma last week in a 30-29 loss. “He’s extremely confident. He has great ability out there”, left tackle Spencer Drango told ESPN. They won’t need an absolutely dominating rushing performance with the high-octane passing game but they still need to establish some kind of rushing game in order to open up the passing game. Even with third-string QB Chris Johnson, the Bears will still be throwing deep vertical routes. It would have been close, but there was never a measurement because Briles called for a timeout before the snap. The Sooners certainly have a case that doesn’t strictly hinge on their wins over the Bears and Horned Frogs.
It rained throughout the game with several heavy downpours.
