Three key stats to watch

Oklahoma is 49-1 when leading going into the fourth quarter. That one loss was this season at Kansas State, when the Wildcats scored 17 unanswered points in the third quarter to take a 41-23 advantage into the final quarter.

The Sooners have won 18 consecutive games in the month of November. OU’s last November loss, ironically, was on Nov. 8, 2014, against Baylor, 48-14, in Norman,

Oklahoma has won each of its last six road games against teams ranked in the top 10 of the Coaches Poll. Baylor is 10th this week in the Coaches Poll, 12th in the AP Poll and 13 in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Sooners have played just six games since 1980, however, against teams 9-0 or better and are 2-4 in those games.
