Baylor (10-2) and Oklahoma State (11-1) meet for a rematch of a regular season contest for the Big 12 Championship game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT. The game will be aired live on ABC. 


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “Every Sunday you got a brand new team. So you play on Saturday and so taking lessons learned, taking confidence gain, maybe doubt is crept in, maybe belief is strengthened, maybe questions are answered. And so I think to get to where you're going, you have to start where you are. And that is probably harder to do. Might be easy to say. So to start with what's real and the things that since that game that we have grown in, since that game the things that we've regressed in, and then how much of that has been due to that game. I think we've seen that  game plan a couple times over since that game. So there's been growth through adversity, there's been contested catches made, there's been the ability to run block on the perimeter with skill positions, there's been the ability on defense to get a four man rush effectively.”


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Oklahoma State — Quarterback Spencer Sanders

I almost went with return man Brennan Presley and special teams here as I think that’s an area that could shift the outcome. But I can’t exclude Sanders after his three-interception performance against the Bears back in early October. Fortunately for the Denton Ryan alum, his defense allowed a total of zero points off those turnovers in a 4-point win. In addition, Sanders’ running ability helped make up for his passing woes, as he totaled 76 yards on 12 carries, and helped illuminate the Bears’ woes in defending quarterbacks on the run. 

Baylor — Linebacker Terrel Bernard

One significant difference from the last meeting is Bernard’s availability for the Bears. His presence alone frees up others. Matt Jones filled in for an injured Bernard admirably in Stillwater as he and Dillon Doyle combined for 31 tackles and three tackles for loss. But, nothing compares to having a well-versed and multi-skilled star-like Bernard in action. I expect him to make life challenging for Spencer Sanders.

It's so nice to see that we still have all 3 timeouts, and haven't wasted one on a Rhule-induced brain fart

I'm so frustrated with the commentary "Georgia is in no matter what…"

Why even play the games.
My greater frustration is that it seems like we have no path to the CFP. It would be beyond fraudulent to put in ND over us.


ND without a conference championship and lost their head coach over Baylor with an extra game, and 3 top 10 wins.

Committee said in 2014 conference championships matter. Especially with how well Baylor is playing right now…what the heck else does Baylor have to do.

Nice play for 1st… 8 defenders in the box… too many to run against.

ETA: Dang, that was a TD with a better throw

Not lose to TCU

Now OSU can't get the ball before half and we can add points

The two guys that managed to keep Estrada from splitting the two that was one hell of a form tackle to keep him short.

Loved the pass to the tight end, if he'd been able to get a little more into that I do wonder how far Sims could have gone.

Nice but a good throw gets 10 more yards.

Put it this way:: In soccer, he'd have been offsides. He was farther down the field than anyone

Great 1st Half! Still a lot of work to do.

Too bad on the missed FG.

Hate that the Pokes have momentum. We need to build up the intensity for second half.

Gundy said Warren can't play. We have both Ebner & Smith.
Jack Bauer

3 score lead would have been huge.

Jaelyn Warren is out of the game.

Really? Thought it was perfect. Got close enough to take shots in the end zone, ended with a chip shot fg, and OSU no shot for getting ball back.

Of course the blocked fg sucked

We are going to wear them down in the 2nd half. Smith is starting to see the cutback lane and the passing game is in sync. Defense just needs to make sure they do not surrender any crazy 50.50 balls for big plays. So far that has been their only success.
