Once the SP+ is updated (i.e. Iowa St and Cincy drop after their losses), none of ou's opponents will be in the top 50. So, their stats don't mean anything. Yeah, they beat up some city schools. Cool.
I've watched three of their games. Their offense looks legit. But, there's no way they've fixed that defense in one offseason. They've given up 350+ yards to 3 of their 5 awful opponents. So, while they may or may not have a slight offensive edge (and I don't think running it up against patsies proves anything more than that your coach is a dick), we have a *huge* defensive edge.
Our O line has looked like professional maulers most of the time this season. They're going to open holes for Brooks and Baxter, and they're going to give Quinn time, and ou can't cover any of our 3 best receivers, and if they do manage to get through on a blitz, Quinn will burn them with his new skinny feet. And you know Sark has a few surprises up his sleeve for these guys. We're going to score a lot of points on Saturday.
Plus, as much as they want to beat us after what we did last year, that works both ways. If we jump on them early, the weight on their shoulders will be unbearable. We just can't get blown out by Texas again! Oh, yes, you can.
Everything points to us fucking them up.
I'll say, conservatively, Texas wins 34-20. But, I think it can be much worse than that. Name one position group on the field where they're better than we are?
Also, fuck ou.
