This is a game where the Sooners looked much improved as they rolled to a 45-24 win over the Baylor Bears. Here are some quick post game thoughts as the Sooners churned out a hard fought victory over the Baylor Bears
Dede Westbrook Continues to Amaze
I’ve simply run out of words to describe Westbrook’s play on the field. He dazzled yet again hauling in 4 catches for 88 yards and 2 touchdowns. Both touchdowns were so incredible we have to show them to you.

I don’t know how Westbrook can’t be the odds on favorite to win the Biletnikoff.
Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine Show Out
The Sooner tandem ran for 224 and 3 TDs, behind an offensive line that was just decent today. Having Perine back and healthy for this stretch run is huge for this offense.
Also it doesn’t hurt when you have Joe Mixon being able to do this.

Defense Looked Much Improved
Jordan Evans led the way with 2 interceptions and 2 sacks, but in the day of high powered air raid offenses, the Sooners defense was by all accounts up to the task. This was a welcome sight after the porous defensive showing that we have seen this season. Oh and Caleb Kelly played.
Injuries?
Dimitri Flowers and Jordan Thomas were banged up and their status is yet unknown. Hopefully they will be healthy as the Sooners finish out their season.
