Based on the 4 games in each location in the Stoops era.....in 2008, where do you see us struggling at the most and why?

[silverwheels]

Stillwater. A&M is horrible this year, and there's no reason for us to struggle down there.

[cvsooner]

Stillwater. Much better team than A & M this year, plus the in-state rivalry.

[Boomer.....]

OSU is a 24 point favorite over A&M. Enough said.

[soonersam]

Coll Station is a blow out win but I wouldnt be shocked if OSU covers the spread this year......

[badger]

The difference between A&M Aggies and Poke Aggies will be our offensive schemes.

We will run the ball repeatedly at A&M. This ensures a faster game and the sooner you can get the eff out of College Station. Against the Pokes, we will be pass happy, because their offense is designed to put points on the board, too... and before you say "Well, all offenses are," HAVE YOU SEEN A AND M TRYING TO SCORE THIS YEAR?! No, me neither.

[NYC Poke]

Based on what I've seen so far, you have greater reason to be apprehensive for the game at OSU vs. the game at A&M. However, based on what I've seen so far, you have little reason for apprehension. Our defense is improved (a low bar), but still porous.

[Mac94]

Have you seen my poor Aggies play this year? We struggled against Army! Oklahoma should destroy A&M this year ... at least oSu is pretty good on offense.

[SoonerDood]

I'd like to write in: Manhatten
Jason's strong leadership and skills bailed us out in '04

and the head ref getting injured.

[OUMallen]

A&M won' tbe too difficult...but man it just stresses me out thinking about all the hard games we have left.

Texas
KU @ Norman (meh, not super worried since it's at home)
@KSU (not that good this year)
Tech
@OSU
@Kansas City

If we can get through that schedule, I am not scared to play :les: ANY SUCKER IN THIS COUNTRY!!!! :les: But still...that's a tough row to hoe.

I was pretty worried about that game until I saw how mediocre the Cats looked against Louisville. I know it was on the road, but they followed it up with another stinker against Louisiana. I mean, they won, but not like they should have.

KSU gave up 335 yards rushing in that game against Lafayette (509 overall). I WAS scared about that trip, but unless some big changes occur in the next month, I'm a whole lot less so now.

[Paperclip]

OSU plays the Sooners well in Stillwater even when OSU isn't any good.

I'm fearing another 77-0 game.

yeah, their defense looks pretty bad. i liked seeing that score this week. i was a little afraid, but i think we won't bad as bad on the road as we were last year either

when is the last time we scored 55 outside of Norman or Dallas?

[JLEW1818]

I see us NOT struggling at A&M at all. The game is during the day, which I think would help us.

What were they ranked when the damn freshman beat us in cs?

[trwxxa]

Stoolwater this year. The game at aTm will not be a national game which removes that little bit of extra motivation.

Plus their defense is terrible. Even if they get better as the year goes along, they might rise to mediocre. They just don't have the athletes.

[silverwheels]

Yeah, A&M's defense just looks really small and slow out there. They do have some good athletes on offense, though.

[MichiganSooner]

OSU looks pretty good so far. A&M looks pretty bad.

[DallasSooner87]

I don't know Texas aggie could get the whole stadium swaying, and our player then get motion sickness and are unable to play at full ability;).

[8timechamps]

If the spread on the A&M game is less than 28, I'll be shocked. Halzle will see playing time early and often.

The pokes, while a solid team, won't beat us this year.

texas Tech, again, is the one that has me a bit nervous. I do like the fact it's in Norman this year though. Tech is a decent defense away from a top 5 team.

[The Maestro]

aTm could only muster 21 on real cadets last week. Their offense is BAD!

They weren't ranked. OU was #2 in the coaches & #1 in the A.P. That game was the only win in A&M's last 5, as they went on to finish 6-6 in the Slocum farewell tour.

[Lott's Bandana]

I know this isn't one of the choices, but:

Baylor.

Ok, call me Nosty but this could be a big trap for us. Not necessarily a loss, but a "We're Number 1 now" and looking ahead to RRS, struggle on the road... against a getting-better team with a new coach.

I'm often wrong and lose lots of $$$ to my bookie.

[josh09]

As everyone else is pretty much saying, Stoolwater will definitely be the toughest place this year. But A&M does seem to give us a good game every time we come down to college station, no matter how bad they are or how good we are.

[goingoneight]

OSU surrendered a 24-pointlead against :texan: last year... 'nuff said.

FIFY. ;)

This is easy though... OSU is probably the best they've been in 15 years or so and aTm sucks harder than Notre Lame.
