2021 NFL Draft Big Board 1.0
We are still nearly half a year away from the 2021 NFL Draft, but with the regular season of college football all wrapped up, this is the time of year players declare for the draft and teams really can start stacking their big boards. The current class looks to be another deep offensive group especially at wide receiver, offensive tackle and quarterback. On the defensive side of the ball corner, linebacker and edge rusher appear to be the deepest positional groups. With all-star games, the combine and more tape to evaluate a lot can change, but here is a look at some of the guys most likely to be playing on Sunday next year. Players 1-30 1) Trevor Lawrence, QB – Clemson 2)
Oklahoma football: End of season COVID problems
You probably heard Oklahoma should have played in Morgantown this past weekend against the West Virginia Mountaineers. If so, then you must also know that the Sooners did not play due to COVID-19 problems. Last week, Oklahoma football shut down all team activities and was forced to postpone the game due to contact tracing. No players or coaches were disclosed, and the game was moved to Dec. 12. This week, the Sooners are supposed to host the Baylor Bears for the last home game of the season. So far there has been no word on postponing or canceling the game. There has been rumors of possible starters being out for this weekend's game against the Bears. Lincoln Riley has not yet
Oklahoma football vs. West Virginia rescheduled, Big 12 title implications

Oklahoma football: Where do the Sooners stand for Big 12 title?
Saturday's Bedlam game proved Oklahoma football is playing the best football in the Big 12. Yet, it doesn't change the fact that even if the Sooners win out, they still may not get a Big 12 title shot. If it becomes a three-way tie between Oklahoma, Iowa State and Oklahoma State, then the record against the fourth team in the conference will determine the tiebreaker. If someone from the bottom tier of the Big 12 pulls an upset, then it is all up to the winner of Kansas State and Texas. Confident look for the Sooners considering Kansas State lost its starting quarterback and has had numerous players opt out of the season. If the Wildcats beat Texas then Oklahoma State
Texas football: Defense lifts Longhorns to 2nd consecutive win
Texas football defeated West Virginia 17-13 in phase two of getting to the Big 12 Championship. The Longhorn defense lifted Texas to a win for the second consecutive week. Texas defense For the second game in a row, this defense carried the offense to help the Longhorns win. The Longhorn offense was very fortunate that this defense played as well as it did. Texas’ offense lost the time of possession in this game by nearly 10 minutes. This further proves how the defense’s performance was a major key to the win. Texas didn’t force any turnovers this game and only had two sacks. This defense was able to hold Leddie Brown to 47 yards in the game. The other thing it did well
Big 12 football predictions - Week 10
Good morning Big 12 fans. Another Saturday is upon us again and that means it's time for more Big 12 football. Let's just jump right into the predictions. West Virginia vs. #22 Texas I fully expect Texas to not poop the bed and lose to West Virginia. I expect it to come off the high of winning against the best shot the Big 12 had at making the College Football Playoff this year and win this crucial game against the Mountaineers. Anything less and we can start laughing at the Longhorns again, right? Prediction: Texas wins Kansas vs. #19 Oklahoma Again no surprises here, I expect (and hope) the Sooners come off the win and dismantle the Jayhawk defense. If the Jayhawks should win this
Texas football vs. West Virginia preview
Texas football will be matching up against West Virginia this Saturday. Both these teams just completed huge upsets this past weekend. Let’s break down the matchup. Texas offense This Texas offense has played just OK since the bye week, and that needs to be fixed. With the Longhorns remaining schedule, some of these games can turn into shootouts, and the offense needs to play better if Texas has any hope of reaching the Big 12 Championship. Tom Herman should’ve preached ball security all this week in practice. Not because the Longhorns have a turnover problem, but because West Virginia is good at forcing them. The Mountaineers forced Will Howard from Kansas State to throw three interceptions last weekend. Sam Ehlinger
