The college football season is getting some action on Thursday, as Oregon and Stanford will play on ESPN, but before that, Oklahoma and Baylor will matchup in a Big 12 conference game at 7:30 pm on FOX Sports 1 and the game will be at Floyd Casey Stadium and streaming online from FS1 and the Big 12.
The matchup puts two top 10 ranked teams against each other and should be a very entertaining game, as Baylor is putting up some offensive numbers that are beyond human comprehension and they are even more prolific this season than the Oregon Ducks. Baylor has been putting up video game stats this season and the team has only scored less than 59 points one time all year and they still dropped 35 in that game and now they face an Oklahoma team at home and while the Sooners are well-coached, they are not prepared for an offense like this and now Bob Stoops and his defense should have their hands full on Thursday night.
The offense is top ranked this season and is in the top 10 in passing yards and rushing yards per contest, averaging well over 700 yards per game and that is getting ridiculous. No one can hold a candle to them right now and the team is averaging over 400 yards in the air per game and 200 on the found while putting up a staggering 63 points per contest. The defense has been solid as well with less than 16 points per game and now Baylor will face their first ranked team of the season and the first of three in a row and this should help figure out if the team is the real deal or not.
Lache Seastrunk and Bryce Petty have been fantastic all season for the team, with Petty leading the way with 18 touchdowns and over 2,400 yards passing and Seastrunk has been nearly as good, rushing for over 890 yards and adding 11 scores. The team's top two receivers have combined for 16 touchdowns from Petty and the top player has 38 catches for 894 yards and a 23.5 per catch average, while Reese is second with over 800 yards and 33 catches on the year. The team has been dominating all the way and after playing against Oklahoma the team will have a neutral game matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders and after that is another tough stretch, as they have road game against Oklahoma State and TCU as well. The team ends the season with Texas and they are playing much better now and it makes three of the final four games for Baylor against Texas teams.
The Big 12 matchup on Thursday night will be at Floyd Casey Stadium and starting up on Fox Sports 1 at 7:30 pm between the Baylor Bears and Oklahoma Sooners.
