Bob Stoops' Sooners were the only team in the top four to win last week, as they made light work of 24th-ranked TCU. With the win, Oklahoma moved to 4-0 on the season and earned the top spot in the national polls for an NCAA record 96th week all-time, moving past Notre Dame (95 weeks). Still, Stoops isn't ready to rest now that the team is ranked number one.
"It just means that it's a measure to this point of what we have done, that's it. I'm not going to sit here and act like it is a horrible thing, but we aren't jumping up and down about it either. The bottom line is that it reflects what we have done up to this point so far this year. All that matters now is what we do this week. That is what our focus is on. Concentrating on what we have been doing positive and figuring out what we can do better to make sure when we go out there Saturday we are a better team than we were last week."
The Bears are coming off a bye week and it probably couldn't have come at a better time, with the top team in the land coming to town. Art Briles' team has split its first four games of 2008, losing to Wake Forest (41-13) and Connecticut (31-28) and beating Northwestern State (51-6) and Washington State (45-17).
Oklahoma is the only Big 12 school that Baylor has yet to beat, with Oklahoma winning all 17 previous matchups.
The Sooners went up against the nation's top-ranked defense last week and made it look easy against the Horned Frogs, torching them for 436 yards, thanks to QB Sam Bradford's pinpoint passing. Bradford threw for a career-high 411 yards and four TDs, three of which went to Manuel Johnson, who finished with 206 yards on five receptions, en route to being named the Big 12 Player of the Week.
The Oklahoma offense has been unstoppable in the early stages of the season, averaging almost 50 points per game (49.8), on 526.5 yards of total offense. Bradford is responsible for most of that yardage, as the Heisman candidate has completed 72.2 percent of his passes, for 1,293 yards and 16 TDs. Johnson's big game against TCU has put him atop the receiving chart with 21 receptions, for 376 yards and four TDs. Juaquin Iglesias (17 receptions, for 268 yards, four TDs), Jermaine Gresham (14 receptions, for 256 yards, four TDs) and Ryan Broyles (11 receptions, for 238 yards, three TDs) have also benefited from Bradford's accuracy.
The Sooner ground game takes a backseat to the passing attack, but tailbacks DeMarco Murray (5.7 ypc, three TDs) and Chris Brown (4.9 ypc, five TDs) are more than capable of getting the job done if called upon.
It was a dominant defensive effort against TCU as well, as OU held the Horned Frogs to a mere 314 yards of total offense, while recording two interceptions. In addition, TCU managed to convert just 4-of-15 third down opportunities and just 2-of-4 in the red zone.
The Sooners have made a living in opposing backfields this year, recording 36 TFLs and 15 sacks in the first four games. Redshirt freshman LB Travis Lewis has been all over the field, pacing the team in tackles (32) and sacks (three), with 4.5 TFLs and one INT. Up front, the team looks to All-American candidate Auston English (6-3, 253-pound junior) to lead the way, with 13 tackles, 6.0 TFLs, 2.5 sacks.
Baylor's offense presents a challenge for any defense, as the team is as balanced as any in the country, averaging over 200 yards both on the ground (224.0 ypg) and through the air (205.8 ypg). It has resulted in a healthy scoring average of 34.2 ppg. Of course, over 400 yards of Baylor's 896 yards rushing this year came in the win over Washington State.
The team has really performed well in the red zone, converting 81 percent of the time (13-of-16), with 11 touchdowns (69 percent).
Freshman quarterback Robert Griffin is a dangerous duel threat, leading the team in rushing with 334 yards and five TDs, as well as completing just over 60 percent of his passes, for 756 yards and seven more TDs, without an interception.
Adding to a strong ground game is Jay Finley, who is averaging 8.1 yards per carry and almost 80 yards per game.
Defensively, the Bears have played to mixed reviews. Baylor is yielding just 314.0 total yards per outing. The team has really played the pass well, holding opposing aerial assaults to a mere 186.5 yards per game. A strong pass rush has helped a lot, with Baylor recording 12 sacks in the first four games.
Junior linebacker Joe Pawelek has made his presence felt all over the field, posting a team-high 48 tackles, with two interceptions and one fumble recovery. Senior end Leon Freeman has been a force up front, with a third of his 18 tackles coming behind the line of scrimmage (6), with two sacks.
The Bears have done a decent job against the pass this year, but one of the nation's best passers brings a loaded offensive team into Waco this weekend. Bradford is playing at a different level right now and behind his steady leadership, Oklahoma will be awfully hard to beat, something that Coach Briles understands.
