Sooners 27-14 loss at Baylor came as no surprise
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).
