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.

I think we see Rattler in the second half and they throw, throw throw.

They're holding like crazy in the o-line. If that doesn't get called in the second half, it could be tough.
OK, this is where you lose me. How do you define holding? No comprende esta parta de futbol.


OU is holding and it's not getting called.

Is that why Estrada is running the Fleeks play today? I wondered where Fleeks was.

If Williams starts off the first two series cold, I won't be surprised to see Rattler.

Everybody holds. You just figure out how it's being called and do whatever you can get away with.

We hold, but it's hilarious we got called for the trip hold.

I fear this. Can't imagine how hungry he is to try and redeem himself.

Please keep Caleb in

We have the best looking overhead shot of stadium and surroundings of anyone in the Big 12. BY FAR.

Time to intro Shapen. Gerry has little experience because he never played last year and we are suffering because of it. Time to give Shapen some experience!

Samford pouring it on against Gators. Half time score 42 - 35 Samford. Going out on a limb but Florida coach doesn't make it past Sunday night if they lose.

But I am asking HOW do you define holding. In other words, what causes the referees to call it? I don't understand a lot so I use soccer to make my analogies.

Na it's too hard for him this year. He gets down here and chokes on his playbook

A lead with our D today though is huge. Should be up 3 scores.

Just a hunch but I think it's going to come down to Gerry making plays through the air. OU is starting to really load the box. Starting to dare Gerry to beat them

Put in Rattler. Been waiting on a chance for Baylor to go up by 4 scores.

We're pretty good in the red zone this year
Porteroso

Taking the points is the right move, but we are really predictable on 1st and 2nd downs. I can't believe that coming away with 3 is the best we can do, after being gifted at least 30-40 yards.
Jack Bauer

Time for a turnover
