1) OK will score at least 28 on us. Some will be big play variety....which we have mostly avoided all year.
2) Dana will be tempted to play that pace if we get behind.

3) We can't fall for it

Our best defense is our offense....when done right.

No turnovers.
Long sustained drives that end in touchdowns.
Having Howard's throwing be plan B. He can't win this game on his own. Dana needs to remember that when things get tight.


That equation led to KSU winning at OK in 2012 (with OK having a much better defense than they do now) for the first time since 1997. 3 turnovers by OK. None for KSU

I think the OU defense might surprise you. We have experienced lots of injuries with most on the defensive side of the ball. Two multi-year DTs are gone and won't play the rest of the year. We are playing a couple of freshman DTs and multiple freshman or new LBers. These guys are getting better every game and we will have a couple more players back this week. We played pretty solid last week and I think we will be highly motivated come Saturday.

I watched the WVU at OSU game. I don't think the osu defense is better than ours. We will see. What allowed KSU to beat us in 2012 was our own inability to made plays at critical points in the game. I was there.
