5 reasons the Oklahoma Sooners win on the road against the Baylor Bears

Fresh off the bye, the Oklahoma Sooners look to continue their winning ways in Waco against the Baylor Bears. Here are 5 reasons the Sooners win Saturday.

If this was a race, the Sooners are approaching the final lap — no more cruise control, no more distance running. It’s time to pick those knees up, pump those arms and sprint to the finish line. Despite their second consecutive eighth-place ranking in the College Football Playoff rankings, the Sooners have a very real shot at making the playoffs as long as they run the table.

That starts with a win against the Baylor Bears this weekend.

The Baylor Bears are looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss to the TCU Horned Frogs. Coming off their bye week, the Sooners are looking to extend their winning streak with their trip to Waco.

To get ready for Saturday’s “Big Noon Kickoff” game on Fox, here are 5 reasons the Oklahoma Sooners win on Saturday.

5 reasons the Oklahoma Sooners lose to the Baylor Bears on Saturday

The recipe to hand Oklahoma its first loss of the 2021 season exists. Here’s five reasons Baylor makes that happen on Saturday.

Oklahoma returns to play after a rare weekend off by visiting the Baylor Bears. On paper, it’s Oklahoma’s most-difficult test to date. The Bears are coming off a disappointing loss to the TCU Horned Frogs and Chandler Morris.

Baylor’s been a tough win for the Sooners in recent years. They had to come back to beat Baylor in 2019 after trailing 28-3 and 31-10 at halftime. Dave Arranda’s defense held the Sooners to 10 points in the first half of last year’s matchup. Baylor’s done a good job slowing the Sooners down for a half. Can they do it for a full 60 minutes?

Let’s have the conversation no Sooner fan wants to have. Here’s five reasons Oklahoma loses to Baylor.

Three Baylor players that can haunt Texas

These three Baylor players could end up haunting the Longhorns.

We are approaching the spookiest day of the year, and the Longhorns are also approaching a make or break game with their Week 9 matchup against No. 16 Baylor.

Texas started off Big 12 play strong, but have since crashed and burned two straight games. In each loss, the Longhorns gave up double-digit leads, allowing Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to swoop in and steal the victory like those kids that take more than one candy on Halloween.

While the Longhorns looked abysmal at times during those games, they have shown the ability to be a dominant team, as long as it is in the first half. With two weeks to prepare for this Baylor matchup, you would think that they have a strong game plan that can slow down this Baylor program, who is hoping to remain in one of the top two spots of the Big 12 rankings.

Baylor has a lot of contributors, but there are three players that have stood out. If the Longhorns do not prepare and play well enough, these players will end up haunting the Longhorns and causing Texas to leave Waco as sad as a kid who gets a fruit on Halloween.
