Nov. 21 — Oklahoma State Cowboys @ home

The annual Bedlam game is in Norman this year. It doesn’t really matter where this rivalry game is played, however, it has generally been a battle right to the end. The last time OSU visited OU in Norman the Cowboys rallied late, losing by a single point, 48-47, because of a failed two-point conversion.

Oklahoma owns an overwhelming advantage in the all-time series with an 89-18-7 record and has won 15 of the last 17 games against its in-state rival, including eight of the last 10 played in Norman.

Oklahoma State comes into the 2020 season with a veteran team. Nineteen starters are back from last season (eight on offense and 11 on defense).

With All-American candidates RB Chuba Hubbard and WR Tylan Wallace, the Oklahoma State offense is as dangerous as any team in the country. This year’s Bedlam game should feature a couple of high-scoring offenses. The defense that plays the best will no doubt decide the outcome.

Oklahoma pulls out the win, but it will be another nip-and-tuck affair.
