with Stoudt at QB. However I think it's a low scoring game

I agree. I think it will be more like a 17-10 type of game, in my opinion.

the under on OU scoring 27 points.
I just don't see it happening with our D. They may win, but it will be a low scoring game.

Gotta be careful about that though because, as we've seen

before, the offense can make things significantly more difficult for the defense when they really struggle and make mistakes. We gave up a lot more points against Wake and GT than we should have due to bad turnovers and the inability to move the ball and stay on the field.

Motivation? Again? WTH is it that the talking heads raise this question with all our bowl games and the opponents we play?Could it be that they put this out there so that they have something to fall back on just in case we actualy win the game?
I submit that we should the team that they are questioning OUR motivation! Geeeze.....

It all comes down to turnovers. We create some, we win, we throw 3 picks and lose a fumble. we lose.

I agree. If stout and company take our D out of the equation. We don't have a chance. But if stout moves the ball. Protects the ball and give the D time to rest, they can stop anyone. We need stouts best game. With Watson , we blow them out . We need a game from stout that we haven't seen from him. We need for him to just play smart. Protect the ball! And we can win.

That's the safe bet ... the smart bet ... but,

not a particularly adventurous prediction.
I say our defense stops the Sooners, gives us good field position and contributes a score ... Clemson 21-17 ...

efficient on offense or else we will give THEM great field position due to our inability to move the ball and flip the field.

How is OU's defense just as stingy as Clemson's when......
Dec 28, 2014, 11:23 AM
|
|
.....OU gives up 120+ more yards per game than Clemson? Don't think math is Athlon's forte....

Because they face better offenses than we do. Just a fact.

But not that much better. Big 12 offenses are way down

with Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma State all underperforming badly. Compare TCU, Baylor, and K State to Georgia, FSU, and Georgia Tech, and I don't see much difference.

Always fun to look back at "Prediction" threads afterwards.
