Bedlam !!! The red hot Oklahoma Sooners travel to Stillwater to take on Oklahoma State in the 110th renewal of the classic rivalry. This game hasn’t had much importance in recent year as each program has been good but not great but this year’s showdown has huge implications to the Big 12 title and the FBS playoffs. The Sooners are off a 30-29 over TCU in a game that saw the Horned Frogs storm back from two TDs down and Oklahoma having to stuff a two point conversion to preserve the win.
Oklahoma State is off its first loss of the season, a 45-35 home decision to Baylor in a game the Cowboys never led. The line opened with Oklahoma as a -7 point favorite and the number has not moved as of this writing. The high/low opened up at 68, was bet up to 69 mid-week, but has settled in at 68 once again. Weather will be a very real factor as there is a 70% chance of freezing rain. Watch and win on ABC. Oklahoma has been the flavor of the month the past few weeks with outstanding play after their inexplicable loss to Texas. Sooner QB Baker Mayfield has garnered some Heisman buzz completing 69% of his passes for 3209 yards and an impressive 33/5 TD/Int ratio. Samaje Perine got off to a slow start but has still managed to rush for 1160 yards and 13 TDs. Joe Mixon has also emerged as a viable second option with 613 yards and five scores. The Sooners are just an all around solid team ranking No.6 nationally on offense and No.24 in defense.
Oklahoma State had its destiny in its own hands before falling to Baylor. In that game, the Bears scored 24 unanswered points in the second and third quarter, a deficit that the Cowboys could not overcome. That plus 700 net yards of Baylor offense led by a third string quarterback. Mason Rudolph calls the shots for Okie State and he’s thrown for 3500+ yards with 22 touchdowns and eight picks. The Cowboy running attack is by committee with four back running for between 236 and 466 yards. J.W. Walsh is the short yardage guy with 11 TDs in his 55 carries. James Washington is the big play wide out with 908 yards and 9 TDs on better than 20 yards per catch. The No.82 ranked defense is especially vulnerable against the pass (250 ypg., No.91) and it was just a matter of time before the Cowboys couldn’t outscore and opponent.
Almost every key player in this preview appeared on the injury list early in the week but as of this writing … Mayfield, Perine, Mixon and Rudolf have all been cleared to play. Oklahoma is 10-2 straight up the L12 in the series but the Cowboys have covered three of the last four. The road team has won the last two but Oklahoma State, a 38-35 winner last year has not won back to back in the series since ’01-’02. The last two games averaged 74.2 ppg. Oklahoma wins the BIG 12 and possibly punches its ticket to the Final Four with a convincing win. State HC Mike Gundy has been an active part of more “Bedlam” games than anyone with 25 … four as a player, 10 as an assistant and this will be his 11th as head coach. Big 12 home dogs are 6-7 against the spread. Anything can happen in this one.
