Baylor at Oklahoma Primer
After ending a five-game losing streak with a win over Kansas State, Baylor football hits the road to face the defending Big 12 Champions and current Big 12 favorite the Oklahoma Sooners.
The 32-31 victory over the Wildcats last Saturday gave Baylor their first one-score victory of the season after dropping contests to West Virginia, Iowa State and Texas Tech by a combined 14 points with none coming by more than seven points.
Meanwhile, the Sooners are red hot after dropping back-to-back conference games to begin Big 12 play. They have won five in a row including their last four by an average of 33 points. The streak is highlighted by a 41-13 beatdown of rival Oklahoma State.
The one kink in the armor for the Sooners, however, could be the lack of practice time after dealing with COVID-19 issues where a large portion of the team missed time and forced a matchup with West Virginia to be postponed. OU is expected to be without a number players including start linebacker Nik Bonitto who leads the team with 6.5 sacks.
After dealing with a large breakout earlier in the season, Baylor should be in the clear in terms of a large number of players missing the game due to isolation or positive tests. The Bears, however, have seen plenty of injury attrition this season including the loss of defensive star and starting linebacker Terrel Bernard to a shoulder injury.
Baylor vs. Oklahoma Prediction
Written by Sam Bradshaw (S11)
Oklahoma is probably the best team in the conference if everyone played a best of seven against everyone. They have the best offense and a solid defense with plenty of athleticism. Under normal circumstances they should beat a Baylor team that has a new staff, a wildly changing lineup, and some key injuries like Terrell Bernard, Gabe Hall, and others.
However ,OU is dealing with an unpredictable COVID & contact tracing situation of their own so their usual players and execution may be missing. Baylor has a chance with the right bounces this weekend as a weaker team in KSU beat OU in a similar way. However, I am predicting based on a full lineup and I think OU would normally win handily.
Baylor 21, Oklahoma 40
