Baylor vs. Oklahoma State Primer

For different reasons, Baylor and Oklahoma State enter their regular season finale with disappointment on their minds.

The Bears, under first year head coach Dave Aranda, have won just two games in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season after playing for the Big 12 Championship last season. For Oklahoma State, the one-time Big 12 favorite has seen things come undone rapidly after a loss last week to TCU to drop their third Big 12 contest of the season. 

For Saturday, a game which the Cowboys enter as five-point favorites, the key could be movitation as much as anything. Injuries have also taken a toll on both clubs and both will enter the game likely down a number of significant contributors on offense.

Baylor has won two-straight in the series and six of the last eight dating back to 2012. Who will come out on top Saturday? It could be a huge factor for offseason momentum for either Baylor or OSU.

Baylor vs. Oklahoma State Prediction

Written by Sam Bradshaw (S11)

Baylor and OSU’s offenses are both up against it this week.   Neither has looked very strong recently on offense with both teams struggling to protect the passer and neither running all that well.   Baylor has been better in the red zone and I trust Brewer to protect the ball better than Sanders.

All that said OSU is very similar defensively to the OU team that Baylor just struggled to handle tactically and while Baylor scores more than they did against OU it’s still a fight there.   OSU’s injuries, downward trend, and Baylor’s defense all make me confident this could be a win but until I see the offense be a bit more consistent I think OSU makes one more play.

Baylor 21, Oklahoma State 24

Ok. I'm dropping off. If by some miracle we play a backup QB, send a bear signal.

Actually, no. Pretty certain Napier passed on the job.

If they kept stats for whiffed blocks by O-Lineman I'm thinking this team would be in the all time top 10.

Hey Smoakie, can you ask him what he thinks of our on-field performance thus far?

Who made the call to play this game under these circumstances? There is no way this should have been played. Whoever decided this, needs to feel some heat for this disasterous call.

Agree. They said we have only 3 O-coaches, but we don't. We have only 1, with 2 GA's.

All this has done is set the idiots up more with more rage posts to undermine Aranda and staff and to more calls for the firings of Aranda and his staff who are primarily at home (hopefully only at home) with Covid.

the B12 gets 4 mill TV rev. This Steelesque first half performance may costs us more long term than whatever cut we get for this game.

I think I'm going to do something I've never done before: turn it off. I hope we have a better run next year. Merry Christmas and stay safe everyone.

It's a good thing we're not playing Bohannon or Zeno. There's soooooo much room for them to do worse.

For all my complaints aranda gets a mulligan in year one in my book. Should we be this inept on offense, no. It's hard to watch. Now if we look this bad on offense next year, changes must be made.

How many times has CB cocked his arm to throw, only to bring it down because (presumably) there is no one open?

Brewer has had some opportunities to run. I don't blame him for not taking them but we need some more options on offense.

How can CB be a senior QB, and still running out of bounds for a 2-3 yard loss, WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND, instead of throwing it away. He's done that for 3 years! SMH!
