Sooners 27-14 loss at Baylor came as no surprise

by

WACO, Texas — Two important things were determined here Saturday on the north bank of the Brazos River:

One, Oklahoma’s nine-game win streak coming into its contest with Baylor was built on a thin foundation — mostly the bricks of a remarkable physical talent in freshman QB Caleb Williams, and, honestly, some luck. 

Second, Baylor Coach Dave Arenda’s excuse for his grossly unsportsmanlike time out and game-ending field goal (that it was for points needed for a conference tie-breaker calculation) was a fraud. He isn’t fooling anyone who knows the Big 12 conference rules.

I’ll explain the latter later, but first, let’s talk about the Sooner’s 27-14 loss to Baylor.

Sitting on my perch in McLane Stadium, I knew things weren’t going to go well when Gabe Brkic missed two field goals. 

That’s like watching Tiger Woods miss two 7-foot putts in a row (never mind Gabe’s attempts were from 51 yards and 40 yards, respectively).

Defense carries Sooners into Big 12 championship game, with 27-14 win over Baylor

by

A tenacious Baylor defense stymied the Oklahoma offense all night.

But for perhaps the first time this season it was the Sooners defense that stepped up to keep OU ahead in the game, and secured not only a 27-14 win, but a berth in the Big 12 Championship game on December 19. 

The Oklahoma defense has held opponents to 14 points or less in the last three games.

After an 0-2 start for the season, when it seemed unlikely they would wind up at AT&T Stadium at the end of the season, the Sooners return to the championship game.

Oklahoma has played in the title game 12 times and lost only once.

However, Oklahoma Coach Lincoln Riley wasn’t satisfied with the performance Saturday night..

“I think our guys weren’t coached worth a damn this week, to be completely honest,” he said in his post-game press conference.

Dave: Let’s not overlook the Baylor Bears (they aren’t forfeiting)

by

As it is in the Sooners’ best interest, I will be starting a Go Fund Me page to make sure Oklahoma State has the necessary funds to retain Mike Gundy as the head football coach.

My assumption is he will once again request a raise in the offseason and will most likely get it if history is any indicator.

After all, his current salary of 5 million dollars a year is a slap in the face for a head coach who now has a 2-14 record against his school’s main rival.

So please, consider giving to this worthy cause. No donation is too small. Keep up the good work Mike, we Sooners think you are doing a great job.

Following a COVID “bye” week and a schedule switch, we now have the Baylor Bears coming to Norman for a Saturday night match against the surging Sooners.

Baylor might be the scariest 2 and 5 team in the country.
