Can the Sooners keep Baylor at bay? Will they need more Sooner Magic? Will Baylor run away with the game early? No. 6 Oklahoma (11-1, 8-1) and No. 7 Baylor (11-1, 8-1) face-off for all the marbles in Jerry’s World.
OKLAHOMA LOSES IF…
…Baylor can play two halves of complete football. If the Bears can play like they did in the first half of the first matchup, Oklahoma has no chance. Baylor’s dominance in game one had the Sooners on the ropes. Oklahoma had to fight like Jack Dempsey to come away with the 34-31 win. However, the Sooners cannot compete with Baylor’s best football. If the Bears put two halves of their best ball together, Oklahoma may be in trouble.
OKLAHOMA WINS IF…
…the Sooners do not play flat. Oklahoma has to avoid playing unmotivated on every single snap. It should not be hard as they are playing for a College Football Playoff spot and their fifth straight Big 12 Championship. So long as the Sooners play fast and play hard on every single snap they will be able to hang with Baylor and go punch for punch.
