Ok, I may be alone but I am sick and tired of the 45-35, 39-33, 65-21 crap. Let's actually talk football ladies and gents! We have very bright minds on this board and there have been very few threads about the actual game itself. Post your game changer or keys to the game for us.

I say it's going to be the running game as always but with the osuck D ranked somewhere around #102 against the run and very low with sacks and plays for loss, we should run for 300 on them and control the entire game. I also say Dom Franks again on Dez as well as Box in coverage and against the run. Granger may also be a sleeper for the D since he is the run plug specialist. Let's talk football instead of politics of the BCS guys! BOOMER!

The big knock against Bryant is he hasn't done well against really good teams. Punt returns are one of his specialties, and to be fair, nobody kicks to him much anymore. But so far he seems to get shut down by a decent defense. If that's the case, and we stop Hunter and keep Robinson from running out of the pocket, we should win pretty handily.

But this is OSewe in Stillwater and it's been a long time since we've blown them out there, even with some really good Sooner teams. It'd be nice to see that trend end. I'd like to whip 'em by about 30 points.

If Chris Brown can get over 110 rushing it puts him over 1,000 on the season. Demarco Murray needs just a few. If they both get over the 1,000 mark in this game we win.

Play of both the offensive and defensive lines will dictate how much success we have.

Run the ball well and lock down Dez. We WILL get pressure on Robinson just like we did last year. If we don't contain him, he'll hurt us. He was the only poke that scared me last year and this years team ain't that much different, just more experienced.

Good Guys: Both O and D line. If they dominate so do we.

Sheep Humpers: Pettigrew. I love Box as much as the next guy but our middle is the softest part of our D.

I know it was a called horsecollar and the play was called back but when he ripped down crabtree in the 3rd quarter, it said to me, "we are back, you are going to get hit in the mouth, deal with it." He just walked away after the play with the attitude and swagger we have ALL talked about on this board all season long.

Special teams!!!! we need them to step up. We gave TT a lot of good field position. I said this in a another thread , We need the D to give us some stops, our O will score.

we just can not let the special teams slip, We dont want to give them anything.

We need to hold them on those kick off returns, I love the fact we can score so much but I hate the fact we kick and our coverage is so poor. It tie my gut in knots

The offense won the game last week; the sharp play by the defense made it a rout. I expect the same type of game tomorrow - if the offense plays to its abilities, OSU has no chance. In addition, if the OU D is disciplined and doesn't give up big plays, OU should win handily. I think it will be a closer game than TT because OSU can run, ZR can run and Pettigrew is hard to stop in the short zone. But OSU used all those things pretty well against TT and it didn't help because they couldn't get a stop on D.

DM = Difference Maker
Even if OSU can slow DeMarco on running plays, he is still going to burn them on flair passes and bubble screens. He is playing like a man possessed.

Actually, Nic's horsecollar looked to me like an act of frustration after being burned by Crabtree. (Nic played great, don't get me wrong.)

I agree - that was the only play in the game I didn't like and I was relieved that Crabtree wasn't hurt. Other than that play, I thought Nic played lights out.

Key to the game for the 3rd straight week - Murray and Brown. 300 yards in each of the past 2 games, not to mention that they will both break 1000 before the season's end.

We have our swagger back boys. This is why.

Just as the OU crowd last game made a difference...I am worried that the oSu crowd will do the same.

I think the sheep are spelling out the letter U. Where is the O and the S?Like Dexter Manley and most of the osu student body, they haven't quite mastered the entire alphabet yet.

Amen, brother. I make my trips to the restroom right about KO time so I don't have to watch!

As for difference makers, I'll say the guy that covers Pettigrew. Whether that gets done or not will make a big "difference" in the game...

Nic did great, but he is better. He suppose to be the best defensive player on the field.. come 19 hours from now,... Nic will show that
