Baylor played their best game of the season this week losing to OU by only 38 points. Unfortunately, that means OU didn't cover the enormous 53 point deficit given them by Las Vegas. In retrospect though, the bet on OU even at -53 was solid. Consider these statistics: OU averages 1 sack per game, Baylor sacked OU's quarterback 5 times today. Baylor had it's longest drive of the season today with an 18 play drive in the 2nd quarter. Baylor ended that 18 play drive with a field goal that was their only scoring play in the game. Unfortunately, that 18 play drive ate up over 8 minutes of game time which certainly slowed down OU's overpowering offense. OU averages 48.5 points a game. OU has won it's last 13 games, those 13 games amount to 780 minutes of play, OU has led the game in 776 of those 780 minutes. Yes, OU let me down today, but the fact remains that they remain the single greatest football squad ever fashioned from flesh and bone.
