lol...no doubt. I don't much about football (coaching) but dang I think I can figure out the formula...

OU 24
ksu 20

K-State isn't as good as TCU, and even in that game, we threw away many opportunities to win. K-State is always a formidable team, but I think a lot of people are pointing to the Auburn game as a reason to believe KSU will be so tough. As it turns out, Auburn isn't as good as advertised.

I'm not saying it's going to be an easy win (my prediction is 31-20), but if KSU is to come to Norman and win, they'll have to play a perfect game and we'll have to play poorly (just like in 2012). I just don't see that happening. KSU is not as good as they were two years ago, and we are better than we were in 2012.

D 21.0/21.5

rushing td 14/12

look pretty similar to me. I'd put ksu's qb a tad better in the decision making at this point. btw, ksu/ou on the stats

ksu ranked 14 OU 11 in both polls
ksu 15 OU 11 in espn power polls.

I'm thinking this will be a nail bitter, unless Stoops opens the running up. The DELAYED by a million seconds hand-off will NOT work with ksu's d.

I will give OU the nod in competition...and the fact we've played 2 true road games and at Dallas. ksu only played at isu and that was a squeaker.

Absolutely have to shut down Tyler Lockett, and Waters is no slouch. I'll give the home edge to Stoops and the fact Snyder really has only beaten Bob, what, twice?

By the way, the Texas game this year reminded me of the OSewe game last year. We probably shouldn't have won that one either but we did. We actually played better in this game than that one, with the third quarter being the safety valve. I think once we got up 31-13 everybody relaxed a bit figuring the 'Horns would give up. Didn't happen.

Back to this game: Think it will still be close, though we are due to play better. 24-20, us'ns.

The best thing I saw last Saturday was NO turn overs!!

That is because they didn't have time, or run enough plays to turn it over!!! I kid, I kid!!!

Yup! Never been a Kool Aid drinker, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't lose Saturday. Wouldn't be surprised if we beat them comfortably either.

If it was being played in Kansas I'd take KSU all day long.

I agree that this KSU team is not as good as the 2012 version, but I am no where close to being convinced that we are better. Good teams covert on 3rd down. (2012 - 52% , 2014 - 36%) In 2012 we had better receivers, a better offensive line, and a better QB. I'm not usually such a Debbie Downer, but an ugly loss followed by an ugly win against a crappy Texas team doesn't give me much to hang on to. It's a home game, which is the only reason I still think we win this week. I had very high hopes to begin this season, but now I see us as a 3 loss team by year's end. Hopefully they can right the ship and get it in gear.

I *think* we're a better team, but the past two weeks have certainly put that into question. I feel like this team will get it turned around, and get things corrected down the stretch, but until it happens it's just hope.

We definitely have to get things sorted out and play better. KSU will capitalize on our mistakes, so it's going to be crucial that we don't give them any to capitalize on.

not sure the score but we win by more the 2 TDs..

We follow the Texes game plan again. Two kickoff returns for a couple of TDs, a couple of scores off defense and two field goals.

OU - 34
KSU - 30

This will be our statement game!

[aurorasooner]

If the Sooner offense doesn't @%^& the bed with 3 and outs like the couple of weeks and lets our D rest some, we get a long distance TD or 2 or our D gets 1 or 2 TOs especially early and our D doesn't let a track meet of easy crossing routes develop behind our LBs, then OU 35 or 38 and KSU 21 or 24

If our offense continues their 3 and out drought especially early, our D lets another average QB have an All-American type day and we don't get too much pressure on the pass rush, and Lockett runs wild in our secondary especially across the middle, then KSU 35 or 38 and OU 24 or 28.

I just don't know which Sooner Team and especially which game-plan from our O coordinator will show up (outside of us running up the middle and praying for something to open up). I also don't have too much confidence that our O can adjust at halftime if we fall behind at the half because the Old Man is one step ahead of them with 2 weeks to prep. Our D, I think, can adjust at the half, it's just, will they have anything left in the tank in the 4th, if O continues with their woes.

They look similar, until you look at the schedules next to each other. With WVU, TCU and Texas out of the way, we've played a much better schedule than KSU. In fact, KSU has the most difficult remaining schedule in the conference (they've only played ISU and Tech, two of the bottom 3).

This weekend will tell us a little more about both teams, but I have a feeling KSU's defense isn't as good as the media believes or the stats would indicate. Trevor Knight put up 41 points on KSU last year, on the road. They (KSU defense) isn't that much different this year. But, getting a bye week will help them. I just think OU is better overall.

OU 55 Ksu 13. We show up.
