Oklahoma vs. Texas- Who you got?
- Thread starter Big12Mountaineer
- Start date
OU seems to have their mojo back a bit. They waxed a pretty good TT team last week and UT has comes in limping a bit after losing to WVU and the controversial win over Okie State. I say OU 38-31.
If we can't stop the run, and we march out our RB with the lowest YPC as our starter.... then OU will win.
It seems like everyone and their dog can run on this team.
But I have blind faith.
Texas 42
OU 38

If the team that played Tech Saturday plays UT, then OU by a td to 10 pts. If the fighting Landry Jonses show up (see UTEP, KSU etc...) then UT by 17.
OU looked dominant in Lubbock Saturday, and I was afraid of that. They've got too much talent to be given that little respect going into a game, and it spelled disaster. That said, I never thought our QB would be our undoing in that game, but yikes...

You're in a disappointment Big12 Mountaineer! OU is lot more balanced that Tx and Bob has Mack's number of late. OU will shred that defense and OUr defense will put Ash in check, Oklahoma by 10
Pretty simple to me:
If the OU team that played Tech last week shows up we roll by 10 to 14 points. If the team that showed up against K-State shows up, we lose.
K-State had NO BUSINESS beating OU in Norman. K-State didn't even play their A game and we still lost. Bad, bad, performance but equally as good of a performance in Lubbock this past weekend.
WV will see how tough that place is to play this weekend!

I think Oklahoma wins by running the ball down Texas' throat.
If Texas plays pissed off after losing to WVU, they could win, but I think it was such an emotionally draining game that a let down is possible for both WVU and Texas this weekend.
I hope WVU is focused and puts the Texas win behind them.

It is always a "throw out the records game" and just smash mouth football
... I still take OU!

As a rule of thumb, I never pick Oklahoma in a big game. But this time I'm honestly about fifty/fifty. I lean toward Texas because OU's offensive line is young and Texas will be working hard on stopping the run after the last two oponents have exposed their run defense.
MSOONER7 probably said it best. If the bunch from last Saturday shows up, it's probably a Sooner win.
I really think this years game is decided on 4-5 plays and obviously whoever gets the solid play at QB. I'll take LJ as he attempts to go 3-0 as a starter against UT............OU 31 UT 20
I think the Texas team is better. I think they're a year away from being mature enough for three straight weeks like this though. Oklahoma comes into this like it's their rivalry game. Texas comes into this having already played the defending champs and the favorites in 2012. After that they have to gear up again? I'm thinking they're flat and they fall by 10. Also agree with the Horn can that thinks the wrong back is getting most of the carries. Only one of those three cats was scary in Stillwater or against Wet Virginia. Mack is apparently the last one to see it. The Texas run defense won't be fixed until their DL starts playing gap assignments like they matter. Their LB's this year aren't good enough to cover for the lack of gap control up front. They almost got away with it last week thanks to the pressure they generated on Smith. If they can do that to Landry I'll like their chances a lot more.
