NORMAN, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- Jason White had a big game. Next week he has an ever bigger one. White threw for 343 yards and a touchdown and also ran for a score as No. 2 Oklahoma tuned up for its season-defining showdown with Nebraska by rolling to a 33-17 Big 12 Conference victory over Baylor. The defending national champion Sooners (7-0, 4-0 Big 12 South) won their 20th straight game, the longest current streak in the nation. It marks the fifth time in school history that the team has won 20 or more in a row. White has had a hand in the last three, replacing the injured Nate Hybl against Texas and coming on for him last week against Kansas. In his first start, the sophomore completed 32-of-44 passes against the overmatched Bears. "I never thought I would throw the ball 44 times," White said. "The offensive line did a great job and they gave me time the whole game." "What impressed me most was he seemed to be in control of the offense throughout the game," Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. Oklahoma's Mark Clayton had eight catches for 108 yards and tight end Trent Smith, who has emerged as White's favorite target, added seven for 70. "It was no different with Jason back there instead of Nate," Clayton said. "I just run my routes and if he throws it to me, I catch it. Jason was very controlling in the huddle." White also carried 12 times for 61 yards but took eight sacks. "I could have made better decisions, like throwing it away on some of those sacks," White said. "When he's running with the football, it's like they've got another running back out there," Baylor defensive coordinator Brick Haley said. "He's a tough hombre because we hit him hard today and he just kept getting back up." Next week may be a different story. White will venture into Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, where No. 3 Nebraska has not lost in 18 games and will be looking to avenge last year's 31-14 setback here. "Nebraska is a great team," White said. "We will be ready. I never thought I'd get to play in an OU-Nebraska game. It's a dream come true." Perhaps a barometer is Baylor (2-4, 0-4), which dropped to 0-11 in the all-time series. Last week, the Bears were trounced at Nebraska, 48-7. "That's a good football team in the other locker room," Baylor coach Kevin Steele said. "They're well-coached and they are good players." Playing consecutive top-five teams for the first time since 1959, Baylor was more competitive in this one, trailing just 27-17 with 11 minutes to go. But White directed an 80-yard drive that culminated in a five-yard TD run by Renaldo Works with 6:29 to play. Works had a pair of TDs for the Sooners, who dominated the first half, opening a 27-7 lead. The only touchdown they allowed came on a 93-yard kickoff return by Randy Davis following their first score. White wasted no time getting OU on the board, throwing a 16-yard TD pass to Curtis Fagan just over four minutes into the contest. After Davis' kickoff return, the Sooners took control. "Jason executed the first touchdown exceptionally and that set the tone for the game," Stoops said. White capped a 65-yard march by sneaking over from the 1 with 40 seconds left in the first quarter. In the second period, Tim Duncan kicked field goals of 31 and 19 yards around a 17-yard TD scamper by Works, who had 24 yards on five carries. After a scoreless third quarter, Reggie Newhouse hauled in an eight-yard TD toss from Greg Cicero, who was 11-of-28 for 138 yards and an interception. Adam Stiles booted a 31-yard field goal to make it a 10-point game with 11:49 to go, but Baylor got no closer.
