OKLAHOMA at TEXAS A&M-----"style points"

[desi]

-26 / o-u 72 sounds like stoops may be goin' for a 100 pts, lol.


"How many style points do you need? You have 62 points, you have 58 points," Stoops said, recounting the Sooners' point totals from their last two games. "There's still a respect for the game, and I don't look at any of that. We do the very best we can to play well, but then when we have been in the fourth quarter in those instances, we have for the most part did whatever is necessary to get out of the game. This week, going down to A&M, we don't look at anything that way."


reading that last line makes it out like stoops will 'try' and score
right through the 4th qtr until the end of the game. one of the
wagers i'll be on is oklahoma -14 or whatever in the 1st half.
maybe over 36+, not sure on that.

Right now, if I had my choice between the spread and the totals, I would probably choose the totals. OU could score their usual 56 points here and still maybe not cover the spread. However I can see a 56-31 type of game, which would send this total way over. I know one thing, OU shouldn't have trouble moving the ball. The biggest mismatch in the Big 12 conference is OU's OL vs the Aggies DL...Good luck

Stoops' ties were close to "home"(K-St and Pellini) the last two weeks. Tex A&M(Kyle Field) is a place where the Sooners have struggled and wont take anything for granted. Also, you can only travel with a limited roster on the road.

This is true. I've told people for years that it's sometimes easier for major powers like OU to cover double digit spreads on the road than at home. My only problem is with OU's first unit defense and special teams on the road. A couple weeks ago if OU had been favored by 27 on the road against KSU, their 58 points wouldn't have covered. And I put Texas A&M in about the same category as KSU. Another thing I don't like about covering this big of a spread is this will be a bye week coming up for OU. And many times a team don't play quite at 100% before a break. If the line goes down a little from the 27 number, I might possibly consider a spread play on OU. Otherwise, I'll probably leave it alone.

yes, they have, they are simply a machine, this years Kansas. Really tough call against T-tech though.

I like OU 1st Q. They hve been stomping everyone in the first Q. I haven't played every game but the only 1Q loss recently was vs. Kan. and OU scored a TD on the FIRST play of the 2nd Q. hno:

In the year 2000, during their National Championship run, it took a 4th quarter td int return by Torrance Marshall to save the day.

2002 Oklahoma #1... under RC. Next year was the 77-0 score under fran.
Fran did not win against OU one time.
