3, 4, or 5 losses (again) this year. Those are your choices. There are no others after seeing the debut of the 2010 Sooners last week.
First, in another thread I told you fools not to lay down your seminoleans down on OU. That spread was crazy. No way was the hurky jurky Jones going to lead this team to a big number on the scoreboard. When did he last year? Plus, again, breaking in a brand new offensive line. And where are we weak on D? Up the middle and at the corners. DUH! Just based on returning Aggie logic by Utah State you had to go with the Pokes… if you’re pound foolish and penny wise anyway. Which you must be to put together any kind of a save (think Mariano Rivera.)
Anyway, let’s fish er cut tacks and bow down the brass. Here is what YOU need to prepare for Saturday night. I'll try to be straight forward.
So a little history…
As we know, FSU looked beyond reprobate in taking down Samford. Consider what that means in that Samford at one time was just a women’s school. Bobby Bowden took over, and was able to convince administration to let some fellas represent the school to get a little espiritu d’ cordon gendered for the ladies, thereby taking them co-ed. And that first group of gridironers took a lot of grief with all the NOW protests and such. But they built a program. So FSU was up against a tradition leather hide football program. Then on the flip, that same Bobby Bowden turned around and got the FSU admin to change them from a sort of ROTC-like Core of Cadets school to a little more traditional sort of experience by again suggesting a ball program and then need to at the same time bring some of the ladies over to add some color, thereby taking FSU Coed. Two campuses… transformed!
But let’s now break down the matchups…
First, at kickoff I think there could be trouble going up the middle. The flaming spear scorch marks could make a difference in our man Bobby’s decision on whether or not to let DeMarco return kicks. That mangled turf might be deterrent to our injury prone Clydesdale. And it is hard to see with the suspect lighting at Gaylord-Owen. Without that sure footed hammer delivering the ball field position will be an issue.
Then, offensively, we have Wilson squaring off against a Stoops defense. Now, some of you probably do not pay any attention to the scrimmages and the red and gold and crimson and white spring games, but it is very telling that a Wilson offense has never fared well against a Stoops defense. And again… kiddie-core of cadets on the o-line will not be able to handle that South Florida defensive speed. Nor will our backs and receivers be able to separate their shoulders when their backs are to the secondary. That poses a problem.
Defensively, we not only have to contend against that South Florida speed, but that lower Alabama swamp speed too. Those fellas all spend their youthful exuberance plowing through those dank swamp lands. They are used to the resistance and it helps develop that second gear, maybe a third.
And let’s just face it, their QB is ON, just ON. Ours is OFF, just OFF. Nothing that can be shorn down with a Remington Master Trim in a week. Not by a long shot.
So with knuckleballs and pitches high and outside… I call it:
FSU 38
OU 16
There you have it, the Seminoles are due to drive Semi-holes right on through I-35 Soonerville.
