How could OU score? How many guys starting on offense will this OU squad put in the NFL? 4? This is a case of future coaches, teachers, managers, etc lining up against current NFL players, lol.. The trenches would be a huge mismatch, special teams a disaster for OU.. Come on, be for real.. I could see some first downs for OU.
A few people here have argued with me on this point, but I believe OU's offense will put 7 players in the NFL. Duke Robinson and Loadholt on the line (I'm being conservative here), RB Demarco Murray, WR's Johnson & Iglesias, TE jermain Grisham, and QB Bradford...And OU's defensive ine is very underrated. They were the only line that was able to get to Harrell and sack him all season. Texas hearled DL couldn't do it..And I believe OU will have at least two players go NFL off of this line. Maybe more.
Anybody remember the old College Allstar Game? The one where the College allstar seniors played the NFL Superbowl champions from the previous year. They ended this game back in the 70's. But I can tell you that most of the years that I remember, the NFL champions made this an annual beatdown of the college players..And this was basically before the NFL teams had put their starting roster together. If it was the regular season it would probably be a 70-0 game...In other words, they don't compare with each other. Not in modern day football.
With the exception of a few rare token WR's and RB's that come into the league, rookies absolutely get killed in their first year in the NFL. It's a big step up for even the best players..I don't care which team it is. All you have to do is look at all of the great college players that get waived every year to know how tough it is to make it in the league. The biggest difference an OU or a Miami team of the past would find out is that EVERYBODY is fast and strong in the NFL. Not just a chosen few. The team speed would eat these teams alive.. I would take Detroit right now and give at least 28 points to even the best college team and not sweat it.
