No. 13 Baylor (7-2) will host No. 8 Oklahoma (9-0) at McLane Stadium on Saturday afternoon. 


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “The (Oklahoma) quarterback has injected their offense with some firepower. They have always done a good job with their run game. It is always attached to our RPO's. We struggled with our RPO's just this past week. Caleb's ability to hit receivers in stride with tight coverage, I think stands out, I think the skill on the perimeter stands out. Oklahoma does a nice job of bait and switch. Of really setting up a run, getting the look they want, and then taking advantage of it with a designed RPO. They've been able to jump ahead on folks through that progression, and it's going to be for us to disrupt it.”


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Oklahoma — Quaterback Caleb Williams

The former 5-star and #2 QB recruit in the country last season, is already living up to his billing as the Sooners' #1 QB for the foreseeable future. Since bursting onto the scene against Texas and dethroning Spencer Rattler in the process, Williams has become a true dual-threat superstar in the making. His affinity for timely, impactful rushing scores has prevented OU from suffering losses to Texas and Kansas alone. Not to mention his Mahomes/Manziel-ish ability to make something out of nothing. He's not really Superman, but that is his actual nickname. 

Baylor — Entire Defense 

There's a sizable list of reasons why the Bears struggled so mightily last week against TCU, but now an even more significant challenge is in store with Lincoln Riley's offense. Pass rush, job assignment, communication, focus. Everything will matter and needs to improve for this defense to help play spoiler this weekend. But, especially in light of last week, I'd expect the Bears' defense to be ready for the challenge.

We should be a much better offense with Abrams and Thornton on our team. They are top 10 talent.

I saw a lot of cracks in the BU defense on that last drive. I dont see anybody getting to their QB. He has all day to throw it.

Props to GB. Solid pass on a play we needed. OU is gonna force him to make more of those and we is gonna have to deliver. He's not consistently accurate but he has to hit the easy ones like that. Tie game and our D is noticeably better than theirs. Anybody's game right now.
Sic'em

Ref Wang Hung Lo doesn't know the difference between holding and tripping over one's feet.
