I remember not too longer ago when OU played in the Orange Bowl as underdogs against a mighty Florida team and they didn't do too bad. I don't think too many people had them picked to win either.
I think the Sooners played A LOT better competition this year in the Big 12 and it will show in the title game. Not to mention completely destroying TCU and Cincy.
Something about Granger. He has been hurt almost the entire season since when he got hurt in the Washington game. He has played on and off since that game. But I wouldn't exactly call him a starter. He was a good run stuffer on third and one situations. But his game repetetions were very limited. He was basically just part of a 5 man rotation on the defensive line, where OU is very deep. As much as I like Granger and think he is an outstanding player, I think at this point, losing a player like a Gerald McCoy, Austin Box or either of our two corners where OU isn't deep would have hurt the Sooners much more on defense.
Wow, doesn't matter who you lose (Murray, Granger), sounds like it won't affect you very much. That's pretty cool.
Athletes run far and deep in Norman JB, one person goes down, put the guy on the sideline in and you get equal if not greater production. It's called athletes. USC of the big 12 talet wise if that helps as a comparison. :howdy:

gmoney...I could care less if you bring up this thread or all of the Florida homer threads in the RX. I'm just stating the facts with Granger. He hasn't seen that much playing time this year. If OU misses him in this game, so be it.In the 2nd half when Oklahoma's sucking air since Granger is out and not helping to substitute in for the 4 man rotation would be a good time to pull this thread back up and ask you how deep OU is!
