As Mark did a great job of researching and pointing out after the game Saturday, Baylor held OU to 4.56 yards per play, their worst output since 2015 and by-dent their worst output of the Lincoln Riley era.
How’d the do it? Baylor’s defense has been pretty good this year, ranking in the 30s nationally by most advanced stats. They just gave up 31 points to a not very good Kansas State offense. How’d they turn around and play so well against OU?
Well, in short, they just played a lot better. They also made a few schematic tweaks and broke some tendencies on passing downs which really confused OU QB Spencer Rattler.
