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.

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.


He was throwing off his heels but a little better throw and we get at least 3 there

Those usually come into play in the 2nd half. I hope not this time for once.

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.


Win this game
Thank you, sir. Well done. One never knows what seemingly little thing may really shift momentum.

We've cost ourselves at least 6 points so far. The Ebner fumble inside their 30 and that blocked kick. Glad to have the 15 point lead but we have to capitalize anytime we're inside their 30. Anyways good first half! Keep it up

Spencer Sanders has 10 INTs this season - 5 of those against Baylor.

OSU's running game essentially non-existent.

21 rushing yards and Jaelyn Warren is out.

I'd expect A LOT of jump balls from Sanders in the 2nd half.

Shapen has had a better first half than Bohannon or Brewer ever had against a top team.

Yep - two bad plays
1) the fumble
2) the blocked FG

But overall we are playing great - just don't let up!

Nice take. Shapen is 17/21 for 151 and 3 TDs-at halftime.

Akron just hired the Oregon OC.

I worry about one of these smaller programs that has an opening taking a shot at Grimes.

Need a stop on opening drive of second half. Despite the dominant half, OSU is one TD drive from a one score game.

Shut ''em down.

All in all, great first half. The first possession by OSU in the second half is huge. If they get 7 on it it, the game will be a dogfight the rest of the way.

I may be in the minority but I don't see how we go back to Bohannon with as good as Shapen is playing

Blake Shapen and the Baylor defense were the big takeaways of the 1st Half. The passing game was so efficient, and those 2 interceptions were due in part to QB pressure. The first 30 minutes were impressive. The next 30 could put Baylor in position for a 3rd Big XII football title.

Hate to say it, Bohannen may have a problem winning back the job. If Shapen keeps it up, gonna be tough to put on bench he gives another dynamic with passing.

Just ask Mack Brown. A 2 td lead can be erased in 60 seconds

I just say if we wing the time of possession by 7 minutes again in the 2nd half we are going to win. Defense is talented as heck but man when they are rested they really bring it.

Well, I hope the Bears do in the second half what they have done all season.

No Mack Brown.

Did you mean two 3 year olds or you are entertaining twenty-three-year-olds?

Both can be difficult.

Oklahoma State obviously recently came from behind to win a game, we just can't play to not lose so to speak or we'll be to tight and it will compound.

If we play loose and continue to play our game we should hold on and/or potentially expand the game.

I guess that depends if Shapen can finish this game off. So far so good. Also since I love soccer, it is so great to see Noah kick the kickoffs out of the endzone because of their return guy who they say is dynamic,

Yeah, as I recall, they kept OU out of the endzone in the second half.

Not a fan of the time management with this drive.


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


Got the ball at 3:30… blew two minutes and was under a minute left while still in our own side of the field. Figured a 2 minute drill was actually kicked in at 2 min. Then we got hurried at the line with the td pass attempt.
