This is true. But the fact that OU averaged just 1.8 yards per carry rushing the ball against Texas concerns me more than McCoy or any other part of this game. The fact is, if OU had been able to run in that game, then McCoy would have never been able to get off the bench to show us his stuff.
i tell ya what. ut doesn't get that phantom pass interference call on 3rd down and we got momentum and a 2 score lead....it was shaping up to be a butt whipping in the 2nd qtr, but the powers that be kept ut in it....can't let mccoy have too many chances, and in that 2nd qtr when ou made a play the call went against them....twice.....
As good as last year's game in Dallas was, I think this year's will be one for the ages. Put on top of what already exists every year for this game last year's happenings, and we have the #1 football game of this college football season. I absolutely love the under as of now. I can see a 14-10 or 21-17 game. I would think the total will be somewhere around 51ish?
i don't know. usually these big time hype games don't turn out to be so. ou gotta get by byu and miami on the road. no easy task, i don't care what anybody says. i would have to put my money on 051 right now. if i were setting a line, the total would be around 65-70. ou's line is a question, but the last time our line was a question it became a moot point. stoops was hard on them in spring drills which i like. big thing for me is A) special teams. our defense wasn't half bad considering how much time they spent on the field due to our scoring. nothing worse than getting momentum and giving up an 80 yard return.
anyway, i see a 35-31 type game right now. sooners of course.
I think we'll get a pretty good idea of what both Texas and OU are going to be like before they meet in this year's game simply because they both will be tested by BCS opponents before they meet. They each will play two halfway decent BCS conference teams before they play. Plus OU plays projected MWC champ BYU. If OU is having any trouble with their offensive line or special teams again we'll know it pretty quick. The reason I took Texas and the six points last season was because of OU's early games against Cincy and TCU. The Sooners had trouble with their special teams play against Cincy and they rushed for only 25 yards on TCU. I knew they would have trouble ironing out these problems in just two weeks before they met Texas. And it turned out Texas stopped our rushing game and won the game with their special teams. My advice is watch both of these teams close and look for glaring weaknesses or a possible chink in the armour. Chances are the other teams will exploit it. Stoops and Brown will be doing their homework just like we are.
Give you 2 to 1 odds, the total is not 52 or Under.
Two of the highest scoring teams in the country and you think total is going to be 50-54?
You still are yet to raise points has to how Texas' D is going to better than last year. Yes, the secondary is more experienced, but who slides in for Kindle at the LB position and who is going to jump start the running game?
