Everyone realizes with any offense at all, we're basically up 21-3 right now?
If CAB were still in place it would be about 35-3 right now.

After ending a five-game losing streak with a win over Kansas State, Baylor football hits the road to face the defending Big 12 Champions and current Big 12 favorite the Oklahoma Sooners.
The 32-31 victory over the Wildcats last Saturday gave Baylor their first one-score victory of the season after dropping contests to West Virginia, Iowa State and Texas Tech by a combined 14 points with none coming by more than seven points.
Meanwhile, the Sooners are red hot after dropping back-to-back conference games to begin Big 12 play. They have won five in a row including their last four by an average of 33 points. The streak is highlighted by a 41-13 beatdown of rival Oklahoma State.
The one kink in the armor for the Sooners, however, could be the lack of practice time after dealing with COVID-19 issues where a large portion of the team missed time and forced a matchup with West Virginia to be postponed. OU is expected to be without a number players including start linebacker Nik Bonitto who leads the team with 6.5 sacks.
After dealing with a large breakout earlier in the season, Baylor should be in the clear in terms of a large number of players missing the game due to isolation or positive tests. The Bears, however, have seen plenty of injury attrition this season including the loss of defensive star and starting linebacker Terrel Bernard to a shoulder injury.
Written by Sam Bradshaw (S11)
Oklahoma is probably the best team in the conference if everyone played a best of seven against everyone. They have the best offense and a solid defense with plenty of athleticism. Under normal circumstances they should beat a Baylor team that has a new staff, a wildly changing lineup, and some key injuries like Terrell Bernard, Gabe Hall, and others.
However ,OU is dealing with an unpredictable COVID & contact tracing situation of their own so their usual players and execution may be missing. Baylor has a chance with the right bounces this weekend as a weaker team in KSU beat OU in a similar way. However, I am predicting based on a full lineup and I think OU would normally win handily.
Baylor 21, Oklahoma 40

Kick the f-ing FG!!!
Who do you want to kick it?
Mayers, that's his job! I don't care if he's missed before. Every kicker misses.
Agree, but how many times are you willing to watch him fail tonight?
The wind isn't sweepin' down the plain? InterestingDanaDane said:
Please just stop the posts about "the wind". I just went to the Weather Channel and the wind in Norman OK right now is blowing at a whopping 7 mph. If you can't kick into a 7 mph wind, you don't belong as a starting kicker on a P5 team.
He's NOT the FG kicker this site claimed could kick 55-60 yard FG's routinely when we signed him. Maybe try another kicker? What do you have to lose. This kid can't kick his way out of a paper sack.Stefano DiMera said:
Well...he was short twice with that wind from same distance..u expect him to make ot agsinst it?

This throwing in the backfield sucks. Throw the ball down the field.

If we're going to take a time out, please let's call a decent play.
Slants, quick outs/flat routes, TE routes -- anything but what we are seeing. And if the coaches don't have confidence in CB downfield, replace himgobears20 said:

Total matador blocking. Wow. There isn't a playcall to counteract thatDanaDane said:
LOL
56 never even glanced at that pass rusher.
If you've already missed 3, you ain't "the best we got" so you may as well let the other 2 try. We ain't gonna score from punting and this offense has no hope of crossing the plain.Stefano DiMera said:
Maybe hes the best we got ? We aint beating them with FGs..that aint our issue
Fedora would rather have Fleeks there, a wide receiver...gobears20 said:
Should have kept a rb back there for protection since 56 got beat.
3-0 OU. 6:40 in the 2ndOsodecentx said:

Being too scared to try the 3rd resulted in the same as missing.Stefano DiMera said:
