PFB Live: Can OSU Put a Win Streak Together against Baylor?

Final: Oklahoma State 31 | Baylor 35

4Q: 0:07: Oklahoma State 31 | Baylor 35: Charlie Brewer throws just his eighth pass of the day and it goes to Denzel Mims (his first target) for the go-ahead score.

The Pokes get one chance to save their weekend but the lateral game ends with a fumble

4Q: 0:28: Oklahoma State 31 | Baylor 28: Pass interference on Malcom Rodriguez makes penalty No. 12 for Oklahoma State. Puts Baylor in scoring position.

4Q: 0:43: Oklahoma State 31 | Baylor 28: ??????

4Q: 1:37: Oklahoma State 31 | Baylor 28: The Cowboys go for it on fourth down and Cornelius takes a 9-yard sack. This has been a trend for Corn Dog. He did it a couple of times against Texas but you HAVE to get rid of the foot ball there.

4Q: 2:25: Oklahoma State 31 | Baylor 28: Baylor calls its final timeout as the Pokes have a crucial third-and-4 to convert to put this game away and earn bowl eligibility.

4Q: 5:43: Oklahoma State 31 | Baylor 28: The Bears strike back (again), thanks in part to some head-scratching penalties by Oklahoma State. Then this abomination of a defensive play.

4Q: 8:55: Oklahoma State 31 | Baylor 21: The Cowboys put together a 15-play, 6-plus minute scoring drive (their longest this season) capped with a Justice Hill 2-yard touchdown.

End of the 3rd Quarter: Oklahoma State 24 | Baylor 21

3Q: 0:12: Oklahoma State 24 | Baylor 21: The was quick. With Baylor’s third QB of the day, incoming starter Charlie Brewer, taking his first snap, Baylor answers with a 75-yard TD run from John Lovett.

3Q: 0:25: Oklahoma State 24 | Baylor 14: The Cowboys build upon their lead with an 8-yard TD connection from Corn to Superman.

But it was made possible by this nifty playcalling and execution on fourth down.

3Q: 3:00: Oklahoma State 17 | Baylor 14: Baylor picked up a false start on the would-be fourth-and-1 attempt and elected to punt. That didn’t go so well either.

3Q: 4:44: Oklahoma State 17 | Baylor 14: Baylor tries out their true freshman QB of the future Gerry Bohanon for the first time. You see, they are allowed to do that because of this new redshirt rule the NCAA came out with. Bohanon picks up 2 yards and heads to the sideline.

3Q: 4:44: Oklahoma State 17 | Baylor 14: With a nice play call on third down, the Cowboys take a 3-point lead. Tylan picks up his first career rushing TD after finding pay dirt after the backward pass. Credit Chuba for the assist with the nice block.

3Q: 5:00: Oklahoma State 10 | Baylor 14: The yellow flags continue to pile up on the field in McLane Stadium. A week after tying a season low of four penalties, OSU has tied a season high with nine midway through the third quarter.

3Q: 8:17: Oklahoma State 10 | Baylor 14: The Bears come up empty again in the red zone. Looks like Baylor got a little greedy with this attempted fake field goal. Or Rhule just wrote a check his holder’s arm couldn’t cash.

3Q: 13:38: Oklahoma State 10 | Baylor 14: The Cowboys start the second half off with a three-and-out. Since scoring a TD on their opening drive, OSU has put together a pretty ugly drive chart.

Halftime: Oklahoma State 10 | Baylor 14

2Q: 0:27: Oklahoma State 10 | Baylor 14: Another trip deep in Baylor territory comes up empty. Ammendola misses the 45-yard attempt. He is now 2-of-6 in the last six quarters.

2Q: 2:24: Oklahoma State 10 | Baylor 14: The Cowboys tried to answer one three-and-out with another but Baylor’s punt coverage team had other ideas. The Bears’ scoop-and-score gives the home team its first lead.

2Q: 3:46: Oklahoma State 10 | Baylor 7: OSU’s defense forces its first three-and-out of the day and the Pokes take over at their own 33.

2Q: 4:42: Oklahoma State 10 | Baylor 7: This game is a study in red zone futility. OSU gets to the Baylor 4 and this awesome TD catch that wasn’t resulted in 3, not 6 for the Pokes.

2Q: 8:17: Oklahoma State 7 | Baylor 7: A.J. Green did a nice job of moving the ball down the field for the Bears… wait.

The Bears’ drive was bookended by a couple of 15-yard penalties by Green, unsportsmanlike conduct and a facemask. McClendon makes use of the free real estate and picks up 6 on the ground. Tie game and a weird quarter so far.

2Q: 10:52: Oklahoma State 7 | Baylor 0: The Cowboys couldn’t pay off their good fortune and a false start (more penalties) put them behind the chains. Fourth and a mile to go. Instead of punting, the Pokes decide to go for it by leg. Ammendola is off and narrowly misses the 47-yarder.

2Q: 12:55: Oklahoma State 7 | Baylor 0: Tylan goes full crack block again and (somehow) doesn’t get ejected. Matt Rhule chips in and gets his own unsportsmanlike penalty though.

2Q: 13:51: Oklahoma State 7 | Baylor 0: The Cowboys defense gets off the field on third down. The Bears are now 1-of-4 on third down.

End of 1st Quarter: Oklahoma State 7 | Baylor 0

1Q: 0:48: Oklahoma State 7 | Baylor 0: Nothing doing on that drive for OSU. After a nice 11-yard connection with Tyron Johnson, the Pokes tread water and punt.

After a fairly clean game in the win against Texas, Oklahoma State is back to its transgressing ways with three early penalties for 30 yards including this obnoxious facemask penalty by Calvin Bundage.

1Q: 3:16: Oklahoma State 7 | Baylor 0: The Bears get to a third-and-goal for the second-straight drive and come up empty in both. The 26-yard field goal attempt is no good.

1Q: 7:47: Oklahoma State 7 | Baylor 0: After starting the drive with a sack and a 5-yard loss, Cornelius put together a nice scoring drive and paid it off with a 6-yard scamper into the end zone. Good guys strike first.

Impressive drive for OSU. Corn converts a couple crucial 3rd and longs either with his feet or arm. OSU takes a 7-0 lead with 7:47 left in the 1st QTR.

1Q: 10:48: Oklahoma State 0 | Baylor 0: After the Bears marched right down the field to the OSU 6-yard line and threatened to score, Rodarius Williams stepped in front of an ill-advised Jalan McClendon throw into the end zone and grabbed his second interception of the year.

McClendon is off an running in his first start and the Bears are moving down the field with relative ease. Jalen Hurd started with two rushes and two catches for all of Baylors first 46 yards.

Cowboys win the toss, defer and kick off. Will receive the opening kick of the third quarter.

Looks like Jalan McClendon will start for Baylor despite Charlie Brewer passing concussion protocol. A QB change? What could go wrong? ?

The Cowboys are on the road with a chance to exorcise some Waco demons. If the Pokes can get the W it will be their first at Baylor in nine years. It will also be the first time they’ve won consecutive games since September ?.

More importantly, a win today would secure bowl eligibility for OSU. With Oklahoma, West Virginia and a trip to TCU to finish, wins aren’t guaranteed. The Cowboys had better take care of business today.
