OU football vs. Baylor: Broadcast info, betting lines, matchup breakdown
OU vs. Baylor
When: 7 p.m. Saturday
Where: Gaylord Family—Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, Norman
TV: Fox (KOKH-25, Cox 12/HD 712, Dish 25, DirecTV 25, U-verse 25/HD 1025)
Radio: KRXO-FM 107.7 (English), 96.5 FM (Spanish)
Line: OU by 23
Over/under: 62½
Scouting Baylor
Record: 2-5 (2-5 Big 12)
Best player: Quarterback Charlie Brewer has thrown for 1,627 yards and 13 touchdowns with six interceptions this year. He’s completed nearly 65% of his passes, including nearly 80% in Saturday’s comeback win over Kansas State, when Brewer ran for a touchdown with just more than four minutes left then led a game-winning drive after a defensive stop. That game was by far Brewer’s best of the season and showed the Bears can be a dangerous team to face.
The case for the Bears: The Bears are coming off a win over Kansas State, snapping a five-game losing streak. Baylor has been close in every game they’ve lost — losing by an average of less than seven points. OU, while improving during this recent five-game winning streak, has struggled to finish out games this season. If Baylor is close late, the Bears could put an end to the Sooners’ winning streak and hopes for making the Big 12 Championship Game.
The case for the Sooners: The Sooners’ are the hottest team in the Big 12 and one of the hottest in the country. Their five-game winning streak is tied for the longest active in college football for a team that isn’t undefeated. The Sooners have won the last six meetings against the Bears, including two last season when they came from behind to win in Waco and then held off Baylor in overtime to win the Big 12 Championship Game.
