The Oklahoma Sooners look to continue their winning ways against the visiting Baylor Bears who come in on the heels of wins over Kansas and Texas Tech. The Sooners have won two straight as well, picking up wins over Kansas and Iowa State.
It was the win over Iowa State that is important for this team, who showed they could win an ugly offensive game against a good defensive team.
The Sooners defense stepped up, taking the ball away from Hunter Dekkers and the Cyclones three times. They forced seven tackles for loss and held the Cyclones to 27 carries for 66 yards on the ground. An incredible performance for a team that entered the game allowing more than 200 yards per game rushing.
It was a strong step in the right direction for a defense that had allowed 40 points per game in four straight games.
Can they continue to build on their improved defensive performance and get a bounce back game from the offense?
