Bradford Back?

A national championship is not in the picture for No. 19

from

Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Bet Baylor at Oklahoma

Sam Bradford is fighting a shoulder injury, but will play as the Sooners begin conference play with winning the only option no matter what. Following a 21-20 loss to

Miami last week, the Sooners are now 2-2 on the season. Landry Jones has thrown for 861 yards and 10 touchdowns thus far in replace of
Bradford. Ryan Broyles has been the main target, catching 23 passes for 346 yards and seven touchdowns. The seven touchdown catches is tops in the nation with

Cincinnati’s Mardy Gilyard. In the running game, DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown have each rushed for at least 265 yards. On defense, the Sooners are allowing just 8.8 points per-game and 253 yards per-game, which is tops in the conference.

Baylor is 3-1 on the year and on a two-game winning streak under second-year coach Art Briles. The Bears have had three different quarterbacks on the season, with Robert Griffin getting the most snaps.

Griffin has thrown for 481 yards and four touchdowns. Kendall Wright has caught 24 passes for 314 yards on the year while Jay Finley leads the rushing attack with 212 yards. On defense, Baylor leads the Big XII in passing yards allowed, limited its opponents to just 664 yards through four games.

Oklahoma 25.5-point home favorites over Baylor on Saturday afternoon. The over/under total for this game has been established at 55.
