Baylor vs. Oklahoma State Primer

For different reasons, Baylor and Oklahoma State enter their regular season finale with disappointment on their minds.

The Bears, under first year head coach Dave Aranda, have won just two games in what was supposed to be a rebuilding season after playing for the Big 12 Championship last season. For Oklahoma State, the one-time Big 12 favorite has seen things come undone rapidly after a loss last week to TCU to drop their third Big 12 contest of the season. 

For Saturday, a game which the Cowboys enter as five-point favorites, the key could be movitation as much as anything. Injuries have also taken a toll on both clubs and both will enter the game likely down a number of significant contributors on offense.

Baylor has won two-straight in the series and six of the last eight dating back to 2012. Who will come out on top Saturday? It could be a huge factor for offseason momentum for either Baylor or OSU.

Baylor vs. Oklahoma State Prediction

Written by Sam Bradshaw (S11)

Baylor and OSU’s offenses are both up against it this week.   Neither has looked very strong recently on offense with both teams struggling to protect the passer and neither running all that well.   Baylor has been better in the red zone and I trust Brewer to protect the ball better than Sanders.

All that said OSU is very similar defensively to the OU team that Baylor just struggled to handle tactically and while Baylor scores more than they did against OU it’s still a fight there.   OSU’s injuries, downward trend, and Baylor’s defense all make me confident this could be a win but until I see the offense be a bit more consistent I think OSU makes one more play.

Baylor 21, Oklahoma State 24

Blocking WR on the edge had a big ol' handful of Jersey on that long run.

For all my complaints aranda gets a mulligan in year one in my book. Should we be this inept on offense, no. It's hard to watch. Now if we look this bad on offense next year, changes must be made.
I dont disagree.

How can CB be a senior QB, and still running out of bounds for a 2-3 yard loss, WITH THE BALL IN HIS HAND, instead of throwing it away. He's done that for 3 years! SMH!


Needed to tuck it and run

That said we do need to see who they sign. Again this is all Rhule's players. The Rhule worshippers hate that but it is true. Aranda was hired a month after Dec signing day. I dont think there was much for him to sign in Feb less than a month after he was hired. Then less than two months after his hiring, everyone is sent home until football season essentially. Todays game is the epitome of the first year. Everyone out with Covid including most of the staff.

Why does this happen more at Baylor than other schools? Is it that whole "If you believe Covid is real you're not a real Christian or Republican " thing?

Because BZu is careless in dealing with it. There's really no other excuse for this many COVID outbreaks. 2 already in 3 weeks of b-ball

Rhule's 2018 class had the highest average rating in tracking history and the 2020 class was higher end in terms of average rating since it was better than the 2017, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, etc. in terms of such rating. If that's true, which it is, calling these players "Rhule's players" is a complement.

This has to be one of the worst offensive lines I've ever seen in major college football.

Probably tired of Aranda showing zero emotion and acting like he gives no ****s about this team.

Reedy's had high rankings and after it was all his players it was the 96 season which was a similar season to this one except that one did not have COVID type issues.

It's truly pathetic bunch of pillow pushers out there trying to block. Blake Biedier has been ATROCIOUS for 25 straight games... and he still plays
