Yahoo Sports Oklahoma vs. BYU preview: Predictions, streaming, odds, and how to watch Saturday's game
The No. 14 Oklahoma Sooners (8-2) are set to play against the BYU Cougars (5-5) in Week 12. This will be the first time these two teams have met since 2009.
The Sooners had a tough time with back-to-back losses but they bounced back with a big 59-20 win against the West Virginia Mountaineers in Week 11. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel had an impressive performance, completing 23 of 36 passes for 423 yards and five touchdowns.
On the other hand, the Cougars have suffered three consecutive losses, with the latest being a 45-13 defeat by the Iowa State Cyclones in Week 11. Backup quarterback Jake Retzlaff finished 10-of-27 attempts for 104 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. The Cougars starting quarterback, Kedon Slovis, is still recovering from an elbow and shoulder injury sustained during the Texas game. Although he has been practicing, it is unclear if he is healthy enough to play against the Sooners.
As they head to LaVell Edwards Stadium, the Oklahoma Sooners are the favorites in this game against the BYU Cougars.

Staff writes: "If Retzlaff is going to start again for the Cougars, I expect an Oklahoma blowout win on Saturday afternoon. The Cougars have been non-competitive in his two starts, losing by a combined score of 82-20. Now, the team welcomes a physical defense and an explosive offense to Prove that can overwhelm them yet again."

Fan Insider: Oklahoma 37, BYU 30
Staff writes, "BYU has never lost to Oklahoma, but the Cougars have only played the Sooners twice (1994 and 2009), and haven’t played against them in 14 years. Meanwhile, Oklahoma is coming off it’s first losing season (6-7) for the first time since 1998 (5-6). For Sooner fans, the good news is that quarterback Dillon Gabriel returns in what should be a high-powered offense. The key, of course, is if the defense will be able to stop anyone."
