Waco, Texas- As SEC chants filled McLane Stadium, the Oklahoma faithful walked away dejected. Baylor (8-2, 5-2), a team apparently unworthy to share a conference with Oklahoma (9-1, 6-1), eviscerated the Sooners 24-14.
This is almost assuredly Baylor’s biggest win in seven years. The Bears have not beaten Oklahoma in that time. In 2019, Baylor built a 28-3 lead. The Bears lost. Last season Baylor held a Lincoln Riley offense to its lowest yards per play average ever. The Bears lost.
Against that backdrop, every missed opportunity felt like a familiar foray into those past failures.
