Oklahoma State will face a freshman quarterback for the fourth-straight week.
Baylor head coach Dave Aranda confirmed that redshirt freshman Blake Shapen will start for the Bears in the Big 12 Championship. It will be the second start of his career.
Baylor’s starter Gerry Bohanan left the Bears’ win over Kansas State with a hamstring injury and has been sidelined ever since. Bohanon did not play in Baylor’s 27-24 win over Texas Tech last week but was set to practice for the Bears this week. The dual-threat QB is obviously hampered enough that they went with freshman.
