Shepard Out vs. Baylor 

According to Kris Budden of Fox Sports, via Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated, Shepard will not play for the Sooners today:

According to John Shinn of The Norman Transcript, Shepard didn't practice much during the week after injuring his groin against Iowa State on November 1. Head coach Bob Stoops tried to take things easy on his star wideout:

“I haven’t seen much yet,” Stoops said. “We’ve just been bringing him along slowly.”

Shepard is averaging 19.1 yards per reception for the Sooners and has been their go-to guy in the red zone. His absence isn't what Oklahoma needed against a potent Baylor offense.
