Favorable matchups vs OU?

[18IsTheMan]

We seem about comparably defensively. Offensively, we rank a bit ahead of them in just about every category.

OL/DL seems about a wash. We are tied at 10th nationally for sacks per game and we are both near the bottom nationally in sacks allowed per game

OU has the edge when it comes to turnovers, and that's been the major bugaboo for us and was the reason we lost to Bama.

I think if we protect the ball, we win. Simple as that.

That's asking a lot as we could be 5-1 if we had done it routinely.

Yeah...I'm not really sure there's a reason to believe we'll suddenly clean up the turnovers in Game 7. At least hopefully when fumbles happen, we get fortuitous bounces and are able to recover them.

OU has a dreadful offense, which reminds me of the '22 Missouri game. One of the most miserable games I've ever witnessed. Mizzou rolled in with what was considered a pretty bad offense. They punted on the first drive, then sliced through our D like a knife through melted butter on their next 2 drives going 96 yards on 15 plays for a TD and 84 yards in 10 plays for a TD.
