I'm liking the passing efficiency rankings. Good for the state of Oklahoma.

[Lott's Bandana]

Top-10 in Scoring Offense is quite a list.

Rushing offense:
OU 40
Texas 27
Passing offense:
OU 4
Texas 18
Total offense:
OU 5
Texas 12
Scoring offense:
OU 4
Texas 6
Advantage: Oklahoma. Our offense is the most explosive (but not necessarily as balanced as we thought) in the nation.

Rushing defense:
OU 18
Texas 3
Pass defense:
OU 15
Texas 96
Total defense:
OU 11
Texas 28
Scoring defense:
OU 15
Texas 4
Advantage: Oklahoma. The only thing that scares me on Texas's offense is Colt McCoy's legs. If Pat White/ Vince Young shows up, it could be a long night. If he has an average night on the ground and Texas's running game is still MIA, they will have to beat us in a shootout. Our defense and especially the secondary is much improved. But expect Texas's defense to disrupt Sam, get some pressure, and make some good tackles.

Net punting:
OU 102
Texas 5
Punt returns:
OU 98
Texas 77
Kickoff returns:
OU 15
Texas 33
Advantage: Texas. By a mile and a half. end of story.

Passing Efficiency:
OU 4
Texas 2
Advantage: Texas. If Texas wins, it is completely on McCoy's shoulders. I wouldn't be surprised to see DM or CB emerge as the game's star for OU--Sam doesn't have to do it all. Colt, on the other hand, does. Disadvantage for Texas, actually.

Pass Efficiency Defense:
OU 1
Texas 39
Advantage: Oklahoma. We've played some good running quarterbacks and some not too great passers. I have to believe the Cinci quarterback was the best passer we've faced. Jake Locker and Robert Griffin are great athletes though.

Fewest Penalties Per Game:
OU 83
Texas 76
Fewest Yards Penalized Per Game:
OU 100
Texas 87
Advantage: Texas. But expect our boys to be on their best behavior and well coached for this game.

Punt Return Yardage Defense:
OU 53
Texas 11
Kickoff Return Yardage Defense:
OU 104
Texas 93
Advantage: Texas. By a mile and a half. end of story.

Sacks:
OU 3
Texas 1
Tackles for Loss:
OU 3
Texas 17
Advantage: Oklahoma. Our defense is FAST and swarming.

Sacks Allowed:
OU 16
Texas 39
Tackles for Loss Allowed:
OU 38
Texas 53
Advantage: Oklahoma. Our o-line>yours!

3rd Down Conversion Percentage:
OU 15
Texas 10
4th Down Conversion Percentage:
OU 14
Texas 1
Advantage: Texas. Wow I wouldn't have guessed this one.

3rd Down Conversion Percentage Defense:
OU 8
Texas 23
4th Down Conversion Percentage Defense:
OU 30
Texas 24
Advantage: Push.

Time of Possession:
OU 46
Texas 24
Advantage: Push. We score fast, they take their time. If its a close game, I think it gives us an advantage because we can drive 80 and score a TD in a minute.

Redzone Offense:
OU 1
Texas 6
Advantage: Oklahoma. We score. Don't turn the ball over.

Redzone Defense:
OU 14
Texas 2
Advantage: Texas, I guess.

First Downs Offense:
OU 5
Texas 4
Advantage: Texas, I guess? Again, I don't really see it.

First Downs Defense:
OU 20
Texas 28
Advantage: Texas. This is getting boring. Wait, I'm done!

Surprisingly, Texas stacks up VERY well against us on paper.

I don't see why it's that surprising. Both teams have faced one half-decent opponent and a bunch of nobodies and both teams have waxed the floor with all competition fairly easily. Hard to say that either team has out-performed the other at this point. Before the season I would have guessed about a 60% chance of OU winning this game, but right now I think it's about 50/50 as these are both clearly two of the top five teams in the country and there's not much of a gap among the top five or six right now.
