The Sooners offense has improved since freshman quarterback Caleb Williams took over for Spencer Rattler during the Texas game, throwing for 14 touchdowns and just one interception since getting the nod at QB.\u201cThe quarterback has injected their offense with some firepower,\u201d Baylor coach Dave Aranda said. \u201cCaleb\u2019s ability to hit receivers in stride, with tight coverage, I think stands out. I think the skill on the perimeter stands out.\u201dBaylor is coming off a disappointing loss to TCU, but will lean heavily on their rushing attack against Oklahoma, ranked seventh in the country in rushing yards per game (230.9).\u201cDownhill runners, guys that have top-end speed. You see them run away from people, run through tackles,\u201d Oklahoma defensive coordinator Alex Grinch said.Tennessee vs No. 1 Georgia \u2013 3:30 p.m. ET, CBSGeorgia is clearly the best team in the country, but they haven\u2019t faced an offense quite like Tennessee\u2019s.The Vols rank 20th in yards per game (457.6) while scoring 38.2 points per game, behind a lightning quick attack. In last week\u2019s 45-42 win over Kentucky, Tennessee had the ball for just 13.52, and they lead the nation in plays per minute (2.92).\u201cThe speed. It\u2019s obvious right. \u2026 The hardest thing to prepare for with that is duplicating it,\u201d Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said. \u201c\u2026 Simulating that tempo and chaos is the hardest thing.\u201dGeorgia counters with the stingiest defense in the country, allowing just 230.9 yards and 6.6 points per game.\u201cStatistically, maybe as good as anybody who\u2019s ever played the game as a unit,\u201d Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said about Georgia\u2019s defense. \u201cThey always have good scheme. They\u2019re well-coached, extremely talented, and extremely deep. \u2026 For us, we\u2019ve got to play really efficient. You have to have balance in this football game. \u2026 You can\u2019t hurt yourself. You have to take care of the football.\u201dNo. 4 Ohio State vs No. 19 Purdue \u2013 3:30 p.m. ET, ABCThe Boilermakers have knocked off two top-five teams this season, and they have an eye on their third.Purdue is coming off a 40-29 upset of then-No. 3 Michigan State, just three weeks after upsetting then-No. 2 Iowa. Purdue\u2019s offense is averaging 332.6 yards per game through the air \u2014 eighth in the country \u2014 and wide receiver David Bell leads the Big 10 in receiving yards.\u201cThey\u2019re playing for a chance to go to Indy,\u201d Ohio State coach Ryan Day said, referring to the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis, \u201cso they certainly have our attention. Very, very good players. Very good scheme.\u201dOhio State has won seven straight since losing to Oregon in week two, but have had close calls against Penn State and Nebraska. The Buckeyes offense managed just 25 points in Lincoln, and Purdue\u2019s defense is giving up only 18.4 points per game.\u00a0No. 15 Ole Miss vs No. 11 Texas A&#038;M \u2013 7:00 p.m. ET, ESPNCollege Gameday at The Grove? Sign me up.Texas A&#038;M is still in the hunt for the SEC West crown, but will need another loss from Alabama to have a shot. The Aggies dominated Auburn in week ten \u2014 allowing just 226 total yards in the game \u2014 and are allowing the second fewest points per game in the nation (14.7) for the season.They\u2019ll be facing one of the top offenses in the nation, led by quarterback Matt Corral, and averaging 524.2 yards per game. Corral is banged up \u2014 dealing with an ankle injury \u2014 and it\u2019s unclear if he\u2019s been unable to practice during the week.\u201cHe didn\u2019t practice last week, so we\u2019ve kind of gotten [used] to this,\u201d Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin said on Wednesday. \u201cIt limits what we can do, obviously, and how we call a game. Practice is important, no matter who you are, especially the quarterback for a lot of reasons, so that is not ideal at all, obviously.\u201dOther games to watch:No. 12 Wake Forest vs No. 16 NC State \u2013 7:30 p.m ET, ACC NetworkNo. 3 Oregon vs Washington State \u2013 10:30 p.m. ET, ESPNJoe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
