GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: Baylor QB Charlie Brewer (or Jalan McClendon) vs. Oklahoma State secondary. The Cowboys rank 98th in the NCAA in passing yards allowed at 2,084 in eight games. The Bears have the weapons to exploit that Oklahoma State weakness. Whether it’s Brewer or McClendon, they need to find their targets and get the Cowboys on their heels.
DRAFT SLANT
–WR Denzel Mims caught just two passes for 29 yards as Baylor was routed by West Virginia on Thursday night. He’s up to 37 catches for 558 yards and four TDs this season.
ROSTER REPORT:
–QB Charlie Brewer left the West Virginia game with a head injury and is in the concussion protocol. His status for the Oklahoma State game will be determined later in the week.
–WR Denzel Mims came out of the Texas game with leg cramps in the second half. He was back in action against West Virginia.
–CB Grayland Arnold has missed the last three games with an ankle injury. He’s doubtful this week against Oklahoma State.
–LG Xavier Newman suffered a high ankle sprain in the win over Kansas and has missed the last four games. He’s questionable this week versus Oklahoma State.
