ARLINGTON, Texas — Here are four of the key matchups that figure to go a long way toward deciding the Big 12 Championship Game between Oklahoma and Baylor (11 a.m. Saturday, ABC):
OU right tackle Adrian Ealy vs. Baylor defensive end James Lynch
Ealy held his own the first time around, while spending plenty of time matched up with the eventual Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. Ealy, a redshirt sophomore, won’t be asked to take on the responsibility alone, as Bill Bedenbaugh’s group does plenty of pulling and other maneuvers that will spread the task around.
