College Game Day is at Baylor for the Bears game against the Oklahoma Sooners with the winner controlling their destiny in the Big 12.

Art Briles, Corey Coleman, Jarrett Stidham and the Baylor Bears look to continue their undefeated season when they welcome in Bob Stoops, Baker Mayfield, Samaje Perine and the Oklahoma Sooners on Saturday. They’ll also be welcoming ESPN’s College GameDay as they’ll be the epicenter of the college football universe in Week 11.

Stidham played well in his first career start last week in place of the injured Seth Russell, throwing for 419 yards and three touchdowns with Coleman getting his 20th touchdown last week. Coleman and Russell will be going against a balanced Oklahoma offense that’s looked much improved with new offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley and Mayfield in his first year at quarterback.

Normally the scene behind the desk where Rece Davis, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit and Desmond Howard operate is chock full of good-natured ribbing and quality trolling of the opponent. It’s part of what’s made GameDay the best pregame show on TV.

And they still were, but the College GameDay twitter account took a different approach this weekend, choosing to only share one sign today. Following the terrorist attacks in Paris yesterday that claimed the lives of so many and forever altered the lives of countless others, GameDay felt it was proper to only share one image of a sign.

While the U.S. turns their attention to college football today as a form of distraction from the horrors the people of France have experienced in the last 18 hours, we keep them in our thoughts and prayers.
