Game Preview: TV Info, Statistical Leaders and Series History between OSU and Baylor

Here is some information to get you ready for Saturday’s game.

Series History

The Cowboys improved their series lead over the Bears to 22-18 with the win in Stillwater this season.

This will be the fourth time these teams have met on neutral turf.

Oklahoma State and Baylor played in the Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston after the 1983 season, where Rusty Hilger and Ernest Anderson led the Cowboys to a 24-14 victory. Anderson ran for 143 yards and a touchdown, while Hilger threw for 137 yards and two scores.

The other neutral site meetings between these teams came when they played in Oklahoma City in 1942, an 18-12 Baylor win, and when they played in Wichita Falls in 1938, a 20-6 Baylor win.
