Baylor vs Oklahoma State Game Preview


Why Baylor Will Win

There’s the Baylor win we were all waiting for in the Dave Aranda era.

2020 was supposed to be a total rebuild, and beating Texas State, Texas Southern, and Kansas was no big deal to start 2021.

Baylor 31, Iowa State 29, and now the program is 4-0 with a chance to make an even bigger splash.

The offense might not have rolled against the Cyclones, but the D held firm and the O made the most o every opportunity.

Forget the overall stats – again, look at Baylor’s first three games – but the passing game really is efficient enough to at least keep the chains moving. However …

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

Talk about forgetting the numbers and just watching the team, Oklahoma State hasn’t played the same type of game twice.

It couldn’t throw against Boise State, but the running game was great. The passing attack was terrific against Kansas State, but running was hard, and there wasn’t much of anything happening against Tulsa.

There hasn’t been a whole lot of pretty about this, but the Cowboys are able to move the ball with a good offensive line, a nice downfield passing game in key spots, and enough of a run defense to get by.

Every game has been a bit of a fight – including the opener against SE Missouri State – but if QB Spencer Sanders is on, Oklahoma State has the offensive pop that Baylor won’t bring to Stillwater.

What’s Going To Happen

Oklahoma State is going to keep on doing what it does.

It’s not going to pull away to ever get comfortable, but Baylor’s defense will have a little bit to do with that. The Bears, though, won’t be able to keep up after the Cowboys come up with a few good second half scoring drives.

It’ll still take a full four quarters to get it done, but Oklahoma State will get to 5-0 for the first time since 2015.

Why Baylor Will Win

Everything keeps on humming with one of the nation’s best offenses, great shooting from the outside, and the best ball movement in the Big 12.

Keep the passes swinging around, force a ton of mistakes, get up and running when needed and generate easy points. It all keeps working in win after win, even when the threes aren’t quite falling at the over 40% pace the team is used to.

Again, it’s all about the ball movement, getting to the way-high 40% mark nine times in the 13 games. Oklahoma State’s perimeter defense is fine, but it’s not special. However …

Why Oklahoma State Will Win

The Cowboys can bring the defensive pressure.

Baylor is better at it, but Oklahoma State is terrific at forcing mistakes and it’s great at getting on the boards and getting enough on the offensive glass to come up with key second-chance points.

No, Oklahoma State can’t move the ball like Baylor can, and it doesn’t shoot as well from the outside, but the scoring punch is there to keep up if and when this gets into an offensive show. The three-point shooting is on, hitting above 42% in three of the last four games, winning all three.

What’s Going To Happen

It’s going to be a whole lot of fun.

Both offenses will got off, both teams will go on runs, and both will hit well enough from the outside to generate a few interesting swings. Both teams are playing well, both teams are shooting well enough to come back when down.

Baylor will force a few more mistakes and will do a bit more to clamp down defensively in the final minutes. The Bear defense will hold serve.
