Big 12 victories have been scarce this season for Oklahoma State and Baylor.The Cowboys (3-4, 0-4 Big 12) are the only winless team in league play heading to Waco, Texas, on Saturday afternoon to face the Bears (3-4, 1-4). Baylor finally picked up a conference victory last week with a 59-35 win at Texas Tech.Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson threw a career-high five touchdown passes in the victory to help the Bears snap an eight-game conference losing streak.Baylor matched its win total from last year’s 3-9 campaign. Head coach Dave Aranda shifts his attention to building some momentum as the Bears prepare to play the first of back-to-back home games.”The belief and the confidence is contagious,” Aranda said. “When [the team] accomplishes something — there’s a belief of ‘I’m that guy. I can do this.’ I think the team feels that, particularly offensively.”The teams last met two years ago in Waco with Oklahoma State winning 36-25. The Cowboys hold a 23-19 lead in the series and have won three of the past four meetings, with the exception being the 2021 Big 12 Conference championship game won by the Bears.Oklahoma State is refocusing following a heartbreaking loss against conference leader BYU.The Cowboys gave up a game-winning touchdown pass with 10 seconds left that extended their conference losing streak to five games dating to last year’s Big 12 championship game.But OSU also came out of the defeat with even more questions at quarterback. Garret Rangel started his first game of the season but broke his collarbone and is done for the season after surgery. He joins redshirt freshman Zane Flores (leg) on the sideline for the remainder of 2024.
