Football to open conference play with No. 3 Oklahoma

By Collin Bryant | Sports Writer

Baylor football (0-3) hosts No. 3 Oklahoma (3-0) on Saturday in the Big 12 conference opener for both teams.

One of the Sooners’ biggest weapons and Baylor’s biggest challenges is senior quarterback Baker Mayfield. Mayfield has passed for 1,046 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions so far this season.

Baylor head coach Matt Rhule said he expects his team to rise to the challenge of playing a top ten team.

“I certainly would think you’d be excited to play Oklahoma. What a wonderful football team in every aspect,” Rhule said.
