Touchback to start the game for the Pokes. Let's see if the defense can start out hot.

First down then a false start for Baylor.

Huge strip there by Malcolm to give the Pokes the ball. Baylor's defense has shown up today and are playing well. Let's see if the refs give the Pokes the first down after a great effort from Dom Richardson.

Got it by a few inches. Great effort there by Richardson.

Jaden Bray with such an impressive catch. Kid's gonna have a special career in Stillwater.

Malcolm Rodriguez is having a REALLY great start to this game: a forced fumble and a couple of tackles, including a nice third-down tackle to force a BU punt.

Bad ball there by Spencer as he sails one, which is intercepted and returned to the OSU 11. Let's see if the defense can come up with a stop.

Update: They were not able to come up with a stop as Blake Shapen fools the entire defense and hits Ben Sims from two-yards out.

Second-straight interception thrown by Spencer, followed up by a DPI on Jarrick Bernard-Converse.Yikes.

Baylor's taking advantage of the turnovers this time around.

This is a horrible offensive start for the Pokes. Just about a nightmare situation as Baylor's scored 14 points off of turnovers.

That's five-straight runs for a loss of five yards and a throw into triple coverage to force a punt. This is horrible offense.

No, this is terrible football. The defense is struggling to come up with stops, the offense can no longer move the ball, Spencer has zero confidence. Horrible football.

Collin Oliver is that dude. The replay certainly looks like a backwards pass by Shapen, should be OSU ball.

The play stands, ruled intentional grounding, 2nd down for Baylor.

Shapen throws his third touchdown of the first half. This is such stagnant team right now.

HUGE block there by Korie Black. That came after two great plays on defense by the corner.

good gosh... Sanders is freaking kicking our butts.

Where is Shane.... put the passing QB in, like BU did.

I've been holding back half the season because I know you guys are tired of hearing this from me... but dang it, put in Shane.

we cannot come from behind with a dual thread QB..... our defense is going to have to save us if we have any chance in this game.


Damn it Gundy.... pull your head out.

This offensive line and not having Jaylen Warren certainly isn't helping anything. I like Dez and Dom and they had great performances last year, but they just don't have it this year. If Spencer comes out struggling in the second half, don't see how you can keep him out there.
CaliforniaCowboy

I think we'll see Warren in the 2nd half... they were taking him to the locker room, presumably to get him taped up and ready to go.

I honestly thought at the start of the season that Richardson was our best RB, but if you blow on him he goes down.

Jackson just runs into the defenders time and time again.

and... stop calling running plays for Sanders... he can scramble if he needs to, but stop calling QB runs.

If Shane is not the man, then I heard Spencer Rattler is in the portal.

Mike Gundy said Jaylen won't play in the second half. Bad break.

I'll calm down in a moment... but dang it!!

Sanders has never ever been the man... Mr. Happy feet should have thrown it away that last INT.... my gosh.

Fortunately for OSU, this team is capable of playing much better in the 2nd half, and making adjustments... especially on defense.

Here's to a much better 2nd half.

(we need a passing QB in the game)

This is all about the line of scrimmage. No place to run even though they have two high safeties Pushing our DL around.

Absolutely making all the difference right now. This is the same team that needed a missed field goal to beat Texas Tech last week. Don't know what's happened to the Pokes.

And a third interception by Spencer on 2nd and 10. Hopefully the defense comes up with a stop here because BY scored 14 points on the first two.

Huge 4th down stop by the Pokes there to get the ball back. Need to O-line to step up here and create some space.
Zach Lancaster

That was a great drive by the Pokes. Spencer was able to move the ball and Dom gets into the end zone from four yards out. Let's see if the defense can come up with another stop.

Wow, that was such a huge stop by the defense. Comes up with an incomplete pass and intentional grounding on Tyquan Thornton to bring up third down, then Malcolm and Collin combine for a tackle for loss on Abram Smith to force a punt. Huge.

Holy God, a FOURTH interception? Brennan Presley was hit as the ball got to him, jarring it loose, so I can't put it all on Spencer, but something has to give, right?

Defense and special teams keeping the Pokes in this game.
