Game balls: OU's top performances

Published: October 29, 2006

With pass defense at a premium, Baker played extensively. And produced. He finished with a team-high nine tackles — seven solo stops — and broke up a pass.

Quieting questions about the OU running game without Adrian Peterson, Patrick posted his second straight 100-yard game. He carries 36 times for 162 yards and showed better vision in seeing creases.

The senior captain has turned up his game. Against Missouri, all seven of his tackles were solo stops. He also forced a fumble, made a tip on a Zach Latimer interception and added a sack.
