Oklahoma prediction: Can Sooners avenge last year’s loss to Baylor?

Baylor and Oklahoma are playing for a bowl game. Last year's game saw the Sooners lose to Baylor. This year, both teams are on the cusp of a sixth win and earning bowl eligibility. Baylor is coming off a second-straight win, but the Bears are struggling to reach the Big 12 Championship game and their chances are slim. Oklahoma is 5-3 on season and 2- 3 in Big12 play.

Richard Reese has been the go-to back for Baylor since Taye McWilliams got a concussion. Reese is the conference's fifth-leading rusher with 791 yards and 12 touchdowns. Hal Presley and Gavin Holmes are expected to play a big role for the Bears. Blake Shapen has spread the ball around well this year. He is leading the team with 474 yards. The team lost to Oklahoma last year, but he is hoping to avenge that. He has a chance to do that this time. It's the same team that lost Trestan Ebner and Abram Smith to the NFL.

Oklahoma is coming off a 27-13 win over Iowa State. The Sooners lost to Baylor last year. Eric Gray is running for 800 yards and six touchdowns. Jalil Farooq and Theo Wease Jr. have been playing well recently. Tight end Brayden Willis has been a surprise for the team. He has 22 catches for 22 yards. He is used in a variety of positions. Jovantae Barnes will be a game-time decision.

Baylor's defense is the best unit on the field after grabbing five interceptions in Lubbock last week. The Sooners' offense did enough to beat a stingy Iowa State defense last time.
