No one has played well, period, offensively or defensively. I keep hearing you communication majors talking about ‘three quarters’ this and that; if you don’t play 60 minutes, then it means nothing. (And there’s no consolation for it either and no need to hand out half-game accolades).

These kind of problems are what separates a players coach from one thats not. I.E. Switzer from Stoops.

I look for the D to be focused on stopping the run. OU hasn’t blitzed much at all this year. If the D cannot put up a good pass rush, Stoops will call a few calculated blitzes….but not many…Mike Stoops doesn’t want to get beat by the big play. The D may not win us many games, but he sure doesn’t want to be the reason why we lose games….just keep us in the game.

He wants thenD to give us a chance to win…but that will be on the offense’s shoulders. We are too thin on D…the offense needs to have this thing put away by the 4th quarter or we are in trouble…the D will be tired.

I don’t see where we will be any better on offense…unless we stop the turn overs. If we do that and our D doesn’t let Tech run all over us like they did last year, OU might pull out a squeaker 28-27.

The OU defense has not yet played a Spread defense and while I will say KState offense is good it is not a great offense especially in the air. And, none of the other teams OU has played were decent competition. So, the jury is still out on the OU defense. Although Tech has a nation leading defense it has not yet played a good offense….so it too is suspect.

I do not know who should win this game but OU will be hungry for a win and revenge for the stupid loss last year will be on their mind.
