[QUOTE="Plainosooner_rivals54053, post: 129362002, member: 1400009"] Yankees is the biggest pessimist on our board. He was ragging on how bad Sanchez was, the week he won the conference defensive player of the week award after his play against UTenn. When you start comparing stats between teams, it kind of ignores schedule strength of schedule. Maryland is pretty mediocre this year so far, and less than that against West Virginia. Obviously, the Mountaineers had something to do with that. But you guys have played three home games, two of them against 1-AA teams. You might just beat OU in Norman. But you haven't really been tested yet. I figure West Virginia will be this weekend. The margin over Maryland was eye catching for sure. But the road is a different task. The flip side is that Tulsa isn't close to West Virginia, and the Golden Hurricane made things very interesting, with a little splurge just before the half. And with a couple of other breaks, might have made it even closer. This game will tell both teams a lot about themselves. Last season, West Virginia had all of the toughest conference games at home. They went 2-2 in them, and gave Baylor their only regular season loss. One thing that 45-6 should ensure: you'll have OU's full attention. No excuses for either team to not bring their A game.
