Are you kidding? After the showing that OU made the other night against Texas Tech, you think Mack Daddy isn't going to try and match scores? People around here tend to forget about what a potent offense the Horns had before they had to go throught that grueling 4 game top 10 schedule. Texas will be rested and ready for the kill here in prime time. Bank on it.
Have to agree with GS, this game will be more like a D-1 school playing a D-2 school. If texas gets any kind of pass rush, the game is over. End of story and the score will be bad... probably worse than GS said.
On a different note the outcome of this game, to me, should not decide the NC race... as far as im concerned OU should have it. OU's offense is explosive, much more so than Texas... i think that the red river rivalry should be played later in the year for situations just like this. In either case, every time its close, everyone always says... if it was played later in the year, we would have won. I think, if it was played again this weekend ou would take it. Instead, one writer i saw said let A&M decide, whoever beats them worse let them take it. How is that fair to OU? If they would have known that, the score would have been much worse.
Brown has class though... im not sure he wants to do that, after he lobbied very hard for the NC in 05 he faced alot of criticism for it.
"Sitting here and talking about (the BCS) is disrespectful to A&M," Brown said. "The only input we can have is to play well Thursday night."

In another article, Brown said that he wont talk about the BCS or allow his players to talk about it until after the game... Its what caused them to lose the last two games <- his words not mine... or at least similar
