Baylor really hasn’t been tested, which it will be this week. Despite that, Oklahoma State has some questions of its own. The inability to effectively run the ball could be an issue in this game. Baylor isn’t a great defense, but it is improved. The Bears will likely be able to play against the pass if Oklahoma State can’t establish a ground game. Oklahoma State is definitely not going to slow down Baylor’s offense, especially at home. Look for Baylor to win and cover in this one.
