The people asking for Rattler to replace Williams got their wish near the end of the third quarter. Rattler came in with the opportunity to produce some fourth-quarter heroics. Rattler almost completed a long pass on his first play but it was incomplete and pass interference probably should have been called.

Williams was 8-of-17 for 84 yards and two interceptions. There was a health argument for taking him out. Just before halftime, he had his right hand stepped on by a Baylor defender. He was still able to throw the ball but he might have been affected. The Baylor defense has been a problem for Oklahoma all game and leads 17-7 in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter.

It’s up to Rattler to keep the perfect season alive.
