No. 13 Baylor shocked undefeated No. 8 Oklahoma 27-14 in perhaps the worst showing of the Lincoln Riley era. The Sooners set new lows in points and yards under Riley's command as the Bears held them to just 260 total yards.
Sooners starting quarterback Caleb Williams completed just 10-of-19 passes for 146 yards and 2 interceptions before getting yanked in the second half for Spencer Rattler. However, Rattler also struggled to find any momentum against the physical Baylor defense.
Eighty of Oklahoma's yards came on a garbage-time drive after going down by three scores late in the fourth quarter. Heading into that drive, the Bears were holding the Sooners to just 4.3 yards per play. Baylor recorded 9 tackles for loss and 5 sacks, including a pair of sacks from middle linebacker Terrel Bernard.
The Baylor offense also struggled in the first half, but the game flipped when quarterback Gerry Bohanon got involved in the run game. Bohanon rushed for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns on eight carries, primarily in the second half. He also threw for 117 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Running back Abram Smith added 148 yards, including a 75-yard breakaway in the second half.
The win continues Baylor coach Dave Aranda's stretch of impressive performances against Riley. Prior to the Bears' win on Saturday, the worst performance a Riley-led offense ever produced was 269 yards against 2-7 Baylor in 2020. Aranda's 2019 LSU defense also forced a bottom-five offensive performance against Riley's Sooners in the College Football Playoff.
The win likely eliminates the Sooners from playoff contention as they lost their first game against a ranked opponent. OU still has to play against No. 10 Oklahoma State and Iowa State to earn a trip to the Big 12 Championship Game. Baylor has a loss to Oklahoma State, but a tiebreaker over the Sooners still gives the Bears a path to the Big 12 title.
