Baylor Bears vs. Oklahoma Sooners Key Stats

The most impressive victory on the recent run from Oklahoma was against Iowa State, scoring 27 points against one of the better defenses in the country.

The Sooners got a conservative 148 yards and 1 touchdown from QB Gabriel, but RB Eric Gray was the main point of production with 20 carries for 100+ yards and a TD. Baylor also managed to score 31 in their win against Iowa State, so it almost canceled out.

The Oklahoma defense had perhaps their best showing of the season last week and is ultimately what won the game for the Sooners. Holding Iowa State to 13 points and 66 rushing yards is unlike the normal Sooners defense who gives up 190 rushing yards per game. They managed to force 3 turnovers which is going to be key against Baylor QB Blake Shapen, who has 5 interceptions this season to Gabriel's 1.

In a battle between 2 tough, capable offenses, this result will come down to which defense decides to show up. Baylor's defensive unit averages better than Oklahoma in rushing yards, passing yards, and points allowed per game but the Sooners may have figured something out last week.

Both teams will dominate with their rushing attack to crack open the defense. Baylor RB Reese and Oklahoma RB Gray are looking at a lot of carries this week, each having just shy of 800 yards on the season. Expect the offenses to trade punches until one of the defenses gets a clutch stop in the last few minutes of the 4th quarter.

Baylor Bears vs. Oklahoma Sooners Betting Predition

The Sooners defense will be tough against the Reese and the ground game, forcing QB Shapen to push too hard and make mistakes in the air. Baylor hasn't seen much offense of Oklahoma's caliber this season and it will show. Oklahoma's fast-pace offense cracks the Baylor defense hard while the defense keeps Baylor in-check.

Prediction: Oklahoma Sooners Moneyline (-166), Marvin Mims TD Scorer (+120)
