<p>The No. 12 <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oklahoma-sooners" class="sbn-auto-link">Oklahoma Sooners</a> (7-2) held on for a 42-34 win over the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears" class="sbn-auto-link">Baylor Bears</a> (4-5) Saturday, but Baylor made the game closer than expected several times.</p>
<p>Oklahoma took a 42-26 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter on a 55-yard touchdown run by <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/115318/blake-bell" class="sbn-auto-link">Blake Bell</a>. The Sooners held that lead until the final two minutes when <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/113650/lache-seastrunk" class="sbn-auto-link">Lache Seastrunk</a> scored on his third touchdown run of the game and the Bears converted a 2-point conversion to make it 42-34. Baylor couldn't come up with the onside kick, though, and Oklahoma ran out the clock.</p>
<p>That wasn't the first instance of the game tightening up, however. Oklahoma led 21-10 in the second quarter on two touchdowns by <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/115324/brennan-clay" class="sbn-auto-link">Brennan Clay</a> and one by <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/134387/damien-williams" class="sbn-auto-link">Damien Williams</a>, but Seastruck scored midway through the second to make it 21-17.</p>
<p>Oklahoma took a 28-17 lead on a touchdown reception by Justin Brown just before halftime, but Baylor scored the first nine points of the third quarter on a field goal and then a touchdown by Seastrunk. Baylor went for a 2-point conversion to tie it, but didn't get it.</p>
<p>Williams had 23 carries for 98 yards for Oklahoma. Seastrunk had 15 carries for 91 yards for Baylor and <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75553/nick-florence" class="sbn-auto-link">Nick Florence</a> passed for 172 yards and rushed for 83.</p>
<p><b>Box Score Hero: </b>Landry<b> </b>Jones<b> </b>was 25 for 36 passing for 278 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Jones threw the first touchdown pass of the game and he came up with a big touchdown pass just before halftime, when it appeared Baylor was closing the gap.</p>
<p><b>Rankings Ramifications: </b>Oklahoma came in ranked No. 12 and could move up depending on what happens with teams ahead of them.</p>
<p><b>But Did They Cover? </b>Oklahoma was favored by 19.5 points, so the Sooners did not cover.</p>
<p><b>Next Week's Schedule:</b> Oklahoma plays at West Virginia at 7 p.m. Nov. 17. Baylor hosts Kansas State at 8 p.m. Nov. 17.</p>

<p>A 35-yard touchdown pass from <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37262/landry-jones" class="sbn-auto-link">Landry Jones</a> to Justin Brown with 26 seconds left in the half gave the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oklahoma-sooners" class="sbn-auto-link">Oklahoma Sooners</a> a 28-17 halftime lead over the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears" class="sbn-auto-link">Baylor Bears</a> Saturday. Just 40 seconds earlier Baylor had cut the deficit to 4 points.</p>
<p>Baylor trailed 14-3 after the first quarter, but a rushing touchdown by <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75553/nick-florence" class="sbn-auto-link">Nick Florence</a> made the score 14-10 with 10 minutes to go in the second. Oklahoma scored on a run by <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/134387/damien-williams" class="sbn-auto-link">Damien Williams</a> with 6:40 left in the quarter, but Baylor struck back with a touchdown by <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/113650/lache-seastrunk" class="sbn-auto-link">Lache Seastrunk</a> with 59 seconds remaining before halftime.</p>
<p>Brown's touchdown was set up by a 35-yard kickoff return that put the Sooners in good field position.</p>
<p>Jones is 17 for 25 for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. Florence is 5 for 13 passing for 73 yards and he has rushed for 37 yards for Baylor.</p>
<p>Oklahoma has 304 yards of total offense. Baylor has 182 yards.</p>

<p>The No. 12 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oklahoma-sooners">Oklahoma Sooners</a> hold a 14-3 lead over the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears">Baylor Bears</a> early in the second quarter of Saturday's game at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla. Sooners running back <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/115324/brennan-clay">Brennan Clay</a> has accounted for both of the touchdowns in the game.</p>
<p>Clay caught a 5-yard pass from <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37262/landry-jones">Landry Jones</a> with just under 10 minutes left in the first quarter to get Oklahoma on the board. After Baylor placekicker Aaron Jones nailed a 58-yard field goal to cut into the Sooners' lead, Clay capped off a 12-play, 75-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run to increase his team's lead to two scores.</p>
<p>Jones has completed 11 of 14 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown in the early going. The Sooners have outgained the Bears, 162 total yards to 29, and hold an eight-minute advantage in time of possession.</p>
<p>Oklahoma currently has the ball in Baylor territiory at the 12:47 mark in the second quarter.</p>

<p>Landry Jones would likely have been a first or second round pick had he gone to the draft in 2012, but his draft stock has reportedly fallen in his final year with the Sooners.</p> <p>After not entering the 2012 NFL Draft despite rumors to the contrary, Oklahoma quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/37262/landry-jones" class="sbn-auto-link">Landry Jones</a> will have to go into the 2013 Draft as a fifth-year senior. His numbers have been fantastic over his four years with the Sooners, putting up 38 touchdowns in 2010 and 29 last season, putting up over 4000 yards through the air both of those years as well.</p>
<p>Had he gone out last season to the draft, he likely could have been a first or second round selection. Unfortunately, according to some scouts, his draft stock has fallen quite a bit this season even as he has thrown for only 16 touchdowns to six interceptions while helping lead the Sooners to a 6-2 record.</p>
<p>According to the scout, <a href="http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/13/nfl-scout-on-landry-jones-he-looks-like-a-mid-round-pick/">speaking with Pro Football Talk</a>, Jones has a problem dealing with adversity and hits, which frightens some scouts even though he is a great quarterback physically:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"[Jones] has all the tools we look for in a quarterback. but if he gets hit a couple times, he’s done. Lots of skill, absolutely — great size, good arm, accurate, tons of production the last three years. But he’s killing himself. … He shows he can do everything we want him to do, he just hasn’t shown he can do it consistently in pressure situations."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It will be up to Landry to prove the scouts wrong, but he only has a few games left to go in his final season to do so. Oklahoma will face off against Baylor on Saturday.</p>

<p>Senior wideout Terrance Williams has been a huge part of Baylor's potent aerial attack this season.</p> <p>The <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears" class="sbn-auto-link">Baylor Bears</a> have the nation's best passing offense, and wide receiver Terrance Williams has played a major role in the team's high-octane success.</p>
<p>Williams leads the country in receiving yards with 1,340 on 71 receptions, and his 10 touchdown catches are tied for fifth in the nation. The 6'2, 205-pound senior had 11 catches for 137 yards and a touchdown in Baylor's 41-14 victory over the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/kansas-jayhawks" class="sbn-auto-link">Kansas Jayhawks</a> last Saturday.</p>
<p>With an average of 392.1 passing yards per game, the Bears (4-4, 1-4 in the Big 12) rank first in the country; additionally, their 43.8 points per game average ranks sixth in the nation. Quarterback <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75553/nick-florence" class="sbn-auto-link">Nick Florence</a> has thrown for 3,019 yards (good for third in the country), 25 touchdowns (tied for sixth in the nation) and 11 interceptions this season.</p>
<p>Baylor will try to score the upset over the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oklahoma-sooners" class="sbn-auto-link">Oklahoma Sooners</a> (6-2, 4-1 in the Big 12) on the road on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT.</p>

<p>After being torched in their meeting with the Baylor Bears last year, the Oklahoma Sooners defense will look for redemption on Saturday.</p> <p>When the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oklahoma-sooners">Oklahoma Sooners</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears">Baylor Bears</a> take the field Saturday at Owen Field, one side will have added motivation. The Sooners defense and defensive back <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/76946/javon-harris">Javon Harris</a> will look to be much more of a challenge than they were in Baylor's 45-38 win last season between the two teams.</p>
<p>In that contest, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/35519/robert-griffin-iii">Robert Griffin III</a> torched the Oklahoma with 616 passing yards and four touchdowns. The performance helped Griffin win the Heisman Trophy and hurt the Sooners chances of competing for the national title.</p>
<p>Yet, Harris, who was benched the final three games of last season after the embarrassing loss, is <a href="http://newsok.com/oklahoma-football-javon-harris-has-been-waiting-for-rematch-with-baylor-for-a-long-time/article/3725961?custom_click=pod_headline_oklahoma-sooners">using his performance as motivation</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Man, back in two-a-days, I used to watch the Baylor game every day. ... It's nothing new to me. I can tell you front and back, left, right, every call that happened in that game.</p>
<p>"I lost my spot after this game."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This season, the Sooners defense as a whole has had success, ranking 17th in the FBS with 17.8 points against per game. Harris has 23 tackles and four interceptions, including a pick-six.</p>
<p>The game against the Bears will kick off at 3:30 p.m. in Norman.</p>

<p>The Oklahoma Sooners are 19 1/2-point favorites to beat the Baylor Bears this weekend.</p> <p>All of the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears" class="sbn-auto-link">Baylor Bears</a>' losses in the 2012 season have come to Big 12 opponents, and that trend is expected to continue Saturday when the Bears hit the road to take on the <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oklahoma-sooners" class="sbn-auto-link">Oklahoma Sooners</a>, who opened as 19 1/2-point favorites at home, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.oddsshark.com/ncaaf/odds">according to the odds provided by Odds Shark</a>.</p>
<p>It's expected to be a high-scoring affair, as Big 12 games tend to be. The over/under is set for 77. Baylor still leads the nation in passing yards per game with 392.1, but the defense continues to be abysmal, especially giving up yards through the air. With 326.6 yards-per-game allowed, Baylor's defense ranks 115th in the nation, and they'll be facing Oklahoma's 16th-ranked passing game on Saturday.</p>
<p>Both teams are coming off in-conference wins. Oklahoma topped Iowa State 35-20 last Saturday while Baylor got its first Big 12 win of the season, 41-14, over Kansas.</p>
<p>Baylor (4-4, 1-4 Big 12) and Oklahoma (6-2, 4-1) kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT on Saturday in Norman, Okla.</p>

<p>The Baylor Bears will travel to Norman this Saturday for a game with the No. 12-ranked Oklahoma Sooners.</p> <p>In search of just their second Big 12 win of the season, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/baylor-bears">Baylor Bears</a> will take on a heavily-favored <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/teams/oklahoma-sooners">Oklahoma Sooners</a> team this Saturday afternoon at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.</p>
<p>Led by the brilliant play of former signal caller <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/35519/robert-griffin-iii">Robert Griffin III</a>, the Bears stunned Oklahoma last November in a thrilling game, 45-38. Griffin's game-winning touchdown pass with just eight seconds on the clock not only halted the Sooners' lofty national title hopes at the time, but also helped Griffin sway the majority of Heisman Trophy voters to his side once and for all.</p>
<p>While Baylor has quickly fallen back to Earth without Griffin in the fold in 2012, senior quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/75553/nick-florence">Nick Florence</a> is still doing his best to pile up big numbers in the passing game. Florence has already toppled the 3,000-yard passing mark after just eight contests, and sports an impressive 25-to-11 touchdown-to-interception ratio with five more rushing scores to his credit.</p>
<p>Facing an Oklahoma team that was recently beaten by Notre Dame and then struggled to grab a first-half lead on a woeful Iowa State squad the following week, it appears the Bears may have a viable shot to pull off an upset if Florence and the offense can put forth a strong effort this Saturday.</p>
