this game is not hyped at all this year.
I think everyone is bored with the Big XII this year except for Mizzou being 5-0blah blah With Vince Young gone and Adrian Peterson not doing shit for Heisman, what is the point? New UT qb is fine and dandy, but any qb can do well in a UT style program. I mean, they do get top picks from Texas schools and other states. I guess OU might have dominated better with a Bomar/Peterson combination. I think OU coaches and fans gave up after Bomar left and said Good Luck Next Year Boys. anyways, pick on game? UT 26-17 --------------------  |

OU wins this one.
Quite frankly, UT is overrated unless they can kick some ass in this game. They've stomped ass on Sam Houston State, Rice, and UNT.... Lost to Ohio State, and got a solid victory over Iowa State. The UT defense is ranked high and something to be feared - yet check out those teams and compare their score to UT to how their offense seems to generally run this year. Not particularly impressive. Bottom line : I'm not convinced that this UT team should be ranked so highly. The media is hanging on to last season. If they are able to dominate on Saturday, then they definately will have me convinced to eat my words. Not counting on it though ! Peterson is off to his best start ever. Keep in mind that they had a bye week, so his stats aren't going to be as high as far as totals go. Thompson's stats are getting better and better. After a not so impressive first game, he's still got his percentage in the mid 60s. The biggest game OU had so far was obviously Oregon, and you would have to be a fool to just look at that as a loss and not take all the facts into consideration. OU also came out on top of Washington State. WS ain't too shabby. -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |

Im gonna go with UT on this one. I think last year they had a small margin of victory because the odds werent in their favor because they lost to OU like what... 5 years in a row!?!? Anyways, that is past them now.
Adrian Peterson is somewhat on and off this season from the little I have seen of him. He either does some amazing things or nothing at all. OU's success depends on what Peterson does that game. As far as UT...well, I think McCoy is getting more and more comfortable with his role as QB and is going to really start stepping up his game. I didnt watch their game last weekend because it was PPV and I was in College Station, but I think I heard he did quite well. This is a test for him. Ohio State stomped on Texas, but that was McCoy's second game... he has had some more practice since them. I do think it will be marginally close in the first half...perhaps OU might be ahead by a field goal, but come the second half UT will step it up and pull out with a solid win. Im going to go with 38-24 UT |

I think UT will take this one by a couple of scores at least. OU has done fairly well, but their offense rides on Adrian Peterson, who hasn't seen even a halfway decent rushing defense yet.

The illusion that everybody is under is that OU is one dimensional, which is easy since AD is pretty much Godzilla in negro form...., but the numbers don't lie. http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/natlRank.jsp?div=4 -------------------- QUOTE (Lance) now we have some dude from argentina wondering how to fuck dogmeat |
