3 of 4 - While Bob owns a slight edge over Mack, texass' boss is turning the table with recent successes.

TOP - 37:10 to 22:50, OU's inabality to run and "high octane" offense kept the defense on the field most of the day. By gut check time, they were spent.

4 - texass had four drives of 75+ yards producing TD's largely aided by lack of discipline allowing the drives to be extended.

40 - Yet, another BIG game when the OU defense gives up 40+. We don't need to go back to the KSU Big XII championship game, but if you had taken the over and bet against OU, then the current Wall Street crisis wouldn't being stinging so much.

5 - TD's, Money Sam gives a Heisman worthy performance, but gets little love from the ABC crew with their man crush for Colt.

50 - percent chance of winning yet another BIG XII Championship. Texass is not going undefeated and could easily drop one or two conference games. We need to take care of business, coach up Crow and the defense, and it keep plugging. Can't afford to drop another one.

Oklahoma State beats Missouri 28-23. The Aggies have 187 rushing yards to Mizzou's 64.
A less than average Hog team beats Auburn 25-22. Arkansas has 188 rushing yards to Allbarns 56.
Minnesota 27Illinois 20. Minnesota while outgained in total yardage 550 to 312 by Illinois, out-rushes Illinois 116 to 88 and wins the game.
Purdue out-gains Ohio State in total yardage by 298 to 222, but Ohio State out-rushes Purdue 125 to 70 and Ohio State wins.
Miss. State out-rushes Vandy 116 to 45 and wins. Time of possession in all these games (except for Minn/Ill which was about even and even with the total yardage mis-match is still amazing) seems to mirror the OU/Texas game. I'm not much of a stat person, but it appears that no matter how great of a passing offense a CFB has, when a CFB team can rush the football adequately which is around 150 yards per game, it greatly increases your chances of winning.

No. The defense kept the defense on the field most of the day. :rolleyes:

I'm there with you, give me a buck fifty on the ground and two fifty in the air. After some serious O-line domination against Washington on the first series, this O-line that was largely heralded as the best in the country this summer, is proving to be something less than above average against quality D-lines.

At the end of the day, the match up that mattered most on Saturday was the texass D-ends versus our tackles. More often than not, texass won that battle.

I'm not smart enough to tell you why, but it looked like a different team the second half. Bob said texas adjusted, maybe, maybe it was the penalties or they were just gassed. I don't know.

Nice work! I posted this late last night on one of the post-game threads but it might have been overlooked (or ignored). These are the season average rushing stats for the last 3 national champions which hopefully helps with the argument on having a strong run game.

2007 LSU 214 avg/game 4.9 avg/carry
2006 UF 160 avg/game 4.7 avg/carry
2005 UT 275 avg/game 5.9 avg/carry

As a fan I would have hoped that OUr coaches would have adjusted too:confused: .

[The Maestro]

35 carries for 56 yards.

What is that? The OU total in the 2001 Orange Bowl vs. Florida State.

Not national championship material? Ummmm...I think we won.

We need defense and our passing game is the best in the country.
