ND @ OU

[cynicalpuppet]

What are your thoughts?

I may sound a bit cocky, but I think OU wins comfortably...2TDs+

BOOMER SOONER!!

I don't trust ND's offense, I think you shut 'em down and win a defensive battle.

Selfishly speaking, I need OU to lose at some point this season, but this week does no good.

OU doesn't have to lose for Tech to win a share of the conference, only need OU to lose to win it outright.

If we share a conference title, OU is getting the better bowl game than us. That's a convo for another day though, we got games to win for that to even matter. I'll wait until after Saturday's games to worry about that.

I know, but you still get the glass bowl.

Notre Dame's defense is legit and should keep them in the game. OU's D is too though and I really think they'll shut ND down. OU has a more dynamic offense though and despite all his criticism, a QB who can make plays. I think OU wins fairly comfortably, maybe with a late touchdown to ice the game.

Which is ridiculous. And I say that knowing that there is the very real possibility that KSU would end up winning by rank and not outright and leaving OU in the dark. I'm fine with that.

There should only ever be ONE Big XII champion per year.

Who have they played?

[lynchmob42]

vs Navy W 50-10
vs Purdue W 20-17
#10 Michigan State W 20-3
vs#18 Michigan W 13-6
vs Miami (FL) W 41-3
vs #17 Stanford W 20-13 OT
Brigham Young W 17-14


Averaging 9.4 ppg, defensively.

[architechguy]

There are no great offenses in that bunch, but you are right that they haven't faced a dynamic offense.

[cynicalpuppet]

Miami at #51 is the toughest offense they faced. Granted, they shut them down, but still...

I'm expecting OU to get close to 30 pts. 28-35 wouldn't shock me. I WOULD be shocked if Notre Dame got more than 17 though.

[lynchmob42]

Just please, please, please do this OU! Last year I needed an OU win for a K-State conf. Champ. And we know how that went

[cynicalpuppet]

I tell ya what. I'll work my voodoo so OU wins. But in return, you have to let archi work his voodoo to upset KSU.

[architechguy]

Done! Deal! Set that sh!t up!
