Chasing Oklahoma: What's keeping Baylor from taking down the conference champs?

This week, we're running a series on the Big 12 teams capable of dethroning defending conference champ Oklahoma next season.

We begin with the team that had previously defeated the Sooners two years in a row, the Baylor Bears.

How they beat OU: For starters, by getting better luck when it comes to health. By the time the Sooners arrived in Waco last November, quarterback Seth Russell was out for the season. And during the first quarter, the Sooners injured backup Jarrett Stidham, as well. Stidham stayed in the game, but was obviously limited.
