These teams have met just twice before, and BYU has won both, including a 14-13 upset of No. BYU (5-5, 2-5) has lost three straight, including a 45-13 rout at the hands of Iowa State last Saturday. Consecutive losses before that dashed their playoff hopes and left them needing help to play for a conference title.
The Sooners (8-2, 5-2) enter the college football Week 12 matchup off a 59-20 thrashing of West Virginia. 14 Oklahoma Sooners face an uphill climb to the Big 12 Championship Game, but beating the BYU Cougars on Saturday in Provo, Utah is a must.
