Not sure if anyone is ready to talk about it.

This game is definitely winnable, but Briles will have to be on his A game against Venables' D. OU really seemed to get their running game going last week against a good MSU run D, but they still only scored 23 points. Their offense hasn't scored more than 23 in a conference game.

My only prediction is that if we can score 25 points, we should win. If we allow MSU to score 24 or more points, it's probably a bad day for us.

Everything points to a low-scoring game. We've shown what we **can** do. I'm battling optimism - my heart won't allow it.

27-17 OU

It would be the disaster of all disasters if we gave up 31 points to OU. Unless there are a couple pick sixes in there.

This feels like a "come back down to earth" game for us.

We will need to play like we did against UF. We beat UT fair and square and deserved the win, but if not for some boneheaded mistakes by them, we lose by double digits.

OU does have the most turnovers in the league, with 15. We are 7th with 9 total.

We are about even in forced turnovers.
You have to feel like the defensive takeaways are going to improve soon. Been really low in productivity with that so far.

How many times do we see times have a been win then go on the road and lose? I hate it but we probably go down.

I'm thinking we have a rare Nyck Harbor sighting and he's get a score or two...leading to a 27 - 14 win. Sadly I'll be out with kids tricking and treating so will have to follow along on the phone intermittently for most of the game.

I was doing the apple orchard thing in the mountains last Saturday. We got in the truck to come home just as we had punted and had them at their two yard line; maybe eight minutes left or so. They were leading 17-14 at that point.

People love to hate on Todd and Tommy (I think they’re great) but that radio broadcast was the most I’ve enjoyed a game in quite a while. Give the radio broadcast a try; I grew up that way so I love it.

We seem to have figured things out. We do have a lot of players out with injuries though. I think Cocks win 28-24.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!??? 😄

To each his own, but to me Todd is great at sounding like a drunk yelling during the game. He has zero play-by-play skills and is an insult to those who worked so hard to be able to paint a mental picture for the listener.

I have nothing against him personally, but he's a former player, not a professional radio play-by-play announcer.

Tommy is a color guy and does his job. (y)
