Little Brown-y Foo Foo, went hoppin' throught the Cotton Bowl, scoopin' up the Sooner fans and.... boppin' 'em on the head!
And the good fairy Corso said... "Now little Brown-y Foo Foo, I don't want to see you, scoopin' up the Sooner fans, and boppin' 'em on the head. If you do... I'll... turn you into a Gooner!
So goes the children's song, and now that we're two-n-two with one loss and one shoulda-been-a-loss, so will go this Saturday, I'm afraid.
Let's break it down:
Texas OL v. OU DL: Take a look at the beef on that Texas offensive line. Those cows can indeed jump over the moon. Our DL have played all year like they've lost their sheep, and I don't think Mr. Brent Venables is capable of helpin these Peeps find them. I don't know how or why they play out of position and can't seem to find the gaps they are supposed to be covering, but it is alarming given that plays right into the strength of the Texas offense. Advantage: TU
Texas RB's v. OU LB's: This will be the matchup because our LB's haven't gotten so much as a bowl-o-poridge in help from our DL. So they are going to have to track down those Texas RB's. And if you ask me, our Bozworth...err... Butkus candidate has played a little more like that Horner kid... you know... alone in a corner. That is to say he has been out of position consistently, too. Latimer can't do it by himself. And both of them could use some help out of burnt hot cross buns (Nic Harris) in the nickel package. Be a whole bunch of no fun watching Jamal Charles catch lob after lob over the top of Nic's head. Nor will it be fun watching Selvin Young finally get his runnin' through those arm tackles we seem to have plenty of. Because of their play, and not because of the relative talent... Advantage: TU
Texas QB&WR's v. OU DB's: We've got a couple of really great talents back there and absolutely -0- depth. Not to mention they either play too hot, or too cold... rarely just right. I think because of the lack of depth and our inability to rotate fresh talent on the field, that cat at QB is going to play us like a fiddle by the end of the game. Again, not because of talent, but because of the situation... Advantage: TU
OU OL v. Texas DL: Still a work in progress. We might have three men that can rub those tubs on the other side of the line... but we don't have a healthy or deep rotation of five. I think the talent here right now is actually tipping to OU's favor. True TU is big and athletic, but the Duke and his buddies have really started to come together pretty well. I'm not 100% sold on the quality of the Texas DL. Basically, it's very talented youth vs. suspect overall talent with championship experience. Advantage: Even
OU RB's v. Texas LB's: Little Boy Blue numbers won't have the advantage of hands-off like in the spring. But that won't matter. If he breaks through to that LB level, and I think he will some, he'll be blowing his horn All... Day... long. Advantage: OU
OU Q&WR's v. Texas DB's: Perhaps the most intriguing matchup of the day. OU's young guns are going to have to be nimble and quick to jump those candlesticks -n- firecracker in the Texas secondary. I think they get their three bags full. But there's an equal chance those TU DB's could smack one of our guys hard enough to send him wee-wee-wee all the way home. Advantage: Even.
Now this game would stand to be pretty close for a little while. But the way things have been going for us with the three blind mice on the field this year, I imagine we'll get a few more disappointments handed out by the zebras. I think they have a vendetta against Bob. That's never good.
Well, the bright spot is Friday night we'll get to kiss their girls and make them cry. But I think by the end of the day on Satuday after we've played ring around the rosey for a couple three quarters, in the end... it'll be ashes and we'll all fall down.
OU: 15
TU: 24
