I'm figuring first game rust will be evident. La Tech has a pretty good secondary but the line /front seven may be questionable. I'm thinking that favors our running game, but our inexperienced receivers may struggle a bit.
On D, La Tech has some great backs, frankly, but graduated/ran off just about everyone on the line. Skip Holtz is a decent coach and Manny Diaz is trying to salvage his reputation.
I'm thinking we win something like 24-3 and the teeth gnashing will commence as to why we didn't kill them 77-0, similar to what happened last year in the opener and even against WVU in the second game. Plus, Stoops and Co. (and frankly this goes back to the Switzer years) modus operandi is to play down a bit (or up) to the level of competition.
If we win by more than three scores I'll be surprised.

But let us not forget: it was 0-0 after the first quarter, and we led only 10-0 right before halftime; and only 13-0 on a last second Hunnicutt field goal at the half.
A 21-point third quarter (with two Knight TD passes) wound up being the difference. That game was closer than it looked.
Also, with a few exceptions, an awful lot of Stoops' teams come out of the gate pretty slowly, prompting much "what is wrong with the Sooners?" commentary for a couple of weeks.
Also, our running game is...unproven...at this point. The OL should make it productive but we just don't know what we've got, yet. I mean, I'd love a 49-0 lead at the half, but I'm not seeing it yet.

Yeah, I'm not certain if that's the commutative property of whoopin' up on someone or the associative property of beatin' down on a team, but I guess that's why the games are played. Just happy that it's around the corner. Tough wincing every time I check the websites, lately...

OU has been a little slow out of the gate in recent years. Wouldn't surprise me for the O to be a little uneven but also it wouldn't surprise me for the D to put points on the board.
