Oklahoma’s resurgence continues as they return home hoping to score some revenge for a game they lost last year in Waco, Texas. With the Baylor Bears coming to town, this game looks to be a slugfest.
In many ways, this matchup is fairly even in a lot of ways with the perception of defenses between the teams being the stark difference. Offensively they both put up a bunch of points and run the ball incredibly well.
Both teams are going to want to run the ball. I believe Baylor has the better defensive line but I think the cohesiveness of Oklahoma’s offensive line of late wins out to help these OU skill guys make a few more plays than Baylor to win this game.
Dillon Gabriel will have to surpass 200 yards thru the air this week or Oklahoma will have no shot. [autotag]Marvin Mims[/autotag] bounces back to the tune of six catches for around 95 yards and a touchdown. Eric Gray pumps out two touchdowns and we get a touchdown from Drake Stoops as well.
Blake Shapen isn’t asked to do much but considering Oklahoma, the secondary hasn’t been pretty, they may opt to let him throw more. Shapen has thrown five interceptions, including four in the last four games. Baylor’s star freshman Richard Reese is going to get his yards on the ground but Oklahoma knuckles up late and gets two momentous stops.
Oklahoma wins a game that comes down to the final possession in the fourth quarter.
Oklahoma 34, Baylor 30
