Either way, this'll be one hell of a game. You going ATX? I'll be in Sect 119 row 1, with a ton of Jim Beam! It's 8:00 pm central........AND OU STILL SUCKS!!!

I loaded up on OU at 7....of course I'm a sooners fan, but I don't see Texas doing much with their leading rusher being Colt McCoy. I wouldn't be surprised to see Colt leave the game early hurt if he tries to run on the OU defense and Ryan Reynolds (see Cincinnati game). OU has several big play receivers in Iglesias, Johnson, Gresham and Broyles that can easily get behind an over aggressive defense and make you pay. That being said, I have not really been impressed by OU's running game thus far and I think that will be the deciding factor in how well they do. If they can run the ball well enough to keep the defense honest, they should be able to handle Texas, otherwise, I can see this game turning into a 'shootout' where the last team to have the ball wins.

I don't see the running going anywhere for both teams. Texas run D will shut down OU, and vice versa. Both teams d secondary are not that exceptional. Both QBs are great. I really like the over and thinking a shootout.

OU-Texas

OU isn't the one that sucks. Matthew McConaughey sucks and sucks with the best of em.
As for Colt McCoy and Texas I must say that they are quite resilient up to now. But texas will need some sort of run game to compete in this game or OU will zone blitz McCoy into submission. Look for OU to maybe run a little 3-4 package from time to time with DE Beal #44 to stand up alongside the other backers. As a Sooner fan I'm concerned how OU plans to cover Jordan Shipley when he lines up in the slot. He's scored the past 2 years and on both those TD's he was covered (or uncovered) by Nic Harris. Texas might try to isolate him with OLB Keenan Clayton.

As for the Sooner offense, there could be lots of mismatches to be found when OU goes to a 5 wide set. Players like Greshem, Murray & Broyles could really have a field day. KO coverage could be a problem for OU especially with Quan Cosby returning the kicks and I look for Cosby to get several opportunities. The Sooners come out rolling and don't let up til the gun sounds.

You're really undervaluing Texas here. McCoy might be a top 3 or 5 QB and their defense seems strong. OU will be a huge test, but Texas can not only hang here, they can win.

Colt McCoy is pretty good but come on he isnt even the best QB in his own confrence and you could make a strong arguement he wont be the best QB on the field in this game either im not a fan of either team and if i had to pick i think OU wins game not very confident they cover however i think game will be close with OU winning by 4 just to screw everyone who bet on OU - points and UT ML hopefully im wrong and you guys make some money should be a good game to watch IMO

I have a question.....I always see everyone on here saying to fade the public because the if the public won vegas would be out of business.....the line on this game has moved from 7 to 6.5 and now to 6, so obviously everyone is loading up on Texas. Wouldn't that according to most peoples standards on here favor an OU wager?

Also, if the public never won, Vegas would still be out of business. It's a ridiculous approach to capping games.(no offence)

Ou Going To Smoke This Longhorn Team, Time Is Now

I agree. The Sooner Offensive line stops the Longhorn pass rush. Bradford throws for 350 and roasts the Longhorns.
