Baylor at Oklahoma Primer

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.

Baylor vs. Oklahoma Prediction

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

So his choice was to throw it right to OU with no BU guy within 20 yards?!!! Good idea....

Thornton was behind him. Still, bad execution.

No way ANY of the qbs aren't better than Brewer. If he comes back next year I can't watch.

Brewer threw both INTs on 4th down

Too bad the throw to Ellis was under thrown by 10 yards or we would have scored instead of a PI.

You serious? If Brewer comes back the coaches won't even look at anyone else. "Charlie gives us the best chance to win" my ass

Right. What's the point of coming back if you aren't going to be the starter?

You can't say that definitively with the other QB's having a year plus to learn the new system.

Must be nice to have a real kicker! Good lord into the wind from 50 and it woulda been good from 55. Meanwhile Mayer's short from 45 with the wind

You can though. If they haven't benched him now they certainly aren't doing it next year. Lets just all pray he medically retires.

He's stated "Brewer gives us the best chance to win" is that magically going to change

That's what an actual P5 college kicker looks like.

It should if Bohanon or Zeno show they are the best option.

If Charley comes back Charlie starts. And back ups head to the portal.

If we had a decent high school kicker this would be a one score game right now.

Brewer is our best QB


I really don't have anything personally about the guy, but that's really bad recruiting then. And how would you know? Have we seen any sample size of note from Zeno or Bohannon from this year? I certainly don't trust the coaches to know. Time and time and time again we see players who, when the lights come on, are a different player. These coaches aren't even giving these other guys a chance to show ANYTHING while the guy ahead of them keeps putting up subpar results. If they get a few series and fail, then they fail, but at least they would have more information, more video to go off of in making evaluations then they do now. Oh, I forgot. For some reason this OC doesn't watch video. Personally, if I knew that about him, I wouldn't have hired him in the first place. That was a HUGE red flag when he said that.

Don't forget about us losing our whole recruiting class.

He got lucky on the 3rd play. OU moved 7 to the other side on that play.
