Gridiron: Around the Big 12
November 10, 2015
No. 12 Oklahoma (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) at No. 4 Baylor (8-0, 5-0 Big 12)
7:00 PM | McLane Stadium | Waco, Texas
Watch: ABC
Last Week:
- Oklahoma had no trouble handling Iowa State in last week, winning 52-16. But if the Sooners hope to keep their playoff hopes alive, a win at Baylor is critical.
- Baylor narrowly escaped Kansas State last Thursday, beating the Wildcats 31-24. A win against Oklahoma in the national spotlight would be huge for the Bears, who have yet to play against top-flight, Big 12 competition.
- ESPN College Gameday will attend this game in Waco, Texas, on Saturday, and hold its live broadcast on Saturday morning.

Last Week:
- After falling last week to undefeated Oklahoma State, TCU is looking to bounce back and keep its playoff hopes alive — and it looks like Kansas is just the right team to do that against.
- Even though they were handed their first loss of the season and were held to less than 30 points, the Horned Frogs still recorded 663 total yards of offense.
- After a slow start, the Jayhawks are still searching for their first win of the season in hopes of digging themselves out of an ever-increasing hole.

- The Wildcats, who nearly beat TCU and Oklahoma State in their first two conference games, were held to just nine total points in their next two games against Texas and Oklahoma.
