i think tech will go into norman and not blow them out but at least in a position to win this game at the end.. am i the only one that thinks this line is too high? i figured OU would be favored but thought it would be more like 3 or 4, not a TD...:think2:

Not sure how you beat a top 3 offense by 13 when you have a terrible defense.

You gotta be kidding. This will be an OU whacking of Texas Tech. A take em out to the woodshed and beat their aces. Sooners will win by double digits. GL though

You gotta realize that their is no such thing as defense in college football let alone the big 12. I laugh when people throw around the typical defense response, it means nothing in a game like this. This will be T-Techs first true road game, and it will be in Norman of all places. This is the yearly T-Tech road game blowout where they were expected to compete. Sooners will destroy this red raider team.

Im not playing this game. Except the total maybe. I would just like to know the reasoning behind OU winning big? Their defense is terrible, and they are facing one of the best offenses is the country.

Cmon now, have you seen OU's offense. I mean, I'd have to say twice as good as T-Tech's. Sam Bradford will have all day to throw and he throws the purest spiral and most accurate ball in all of college football. OU has a dominant running game with Brown and Murray. IMO the most explosive offensive team in America. Defense is garbage I know, but are you really going to trust T-Tech's defense on the road in Norman for their first true road test.

I love it when people say easy

Nevermind the fact that this is a team that a very mediocre Nebraska damn near beat at home-let alone in Norman for OU's biggest game of the year.

Easy? No, it's not easy.

if OU sits back and tries to rush only 4 and drop 7 defenders to slow down (i dont think there is any way to actually stop it) Harrell's aerial attack, Tech will run and pick up 4-5 yards a carry behind that massive o-line, which im sure they would happily do until they put more people in the box, which would result in opportunities down the field for Crabtree and Co.. Tech might cover, they might not, but i definitely dont think it will be a BLOWOUT.. BOL to everyone whichever way you decide to go!!

Tech is better on both sides of the ball and they have the coaching edge.

There are a lot of potential "traps" in games like this. Is there any weather factors looming (long range forcasts etc)? It is pushing late November.

Line's a little high for my taste but I still like OU to win the game so I think I will stay away!

Appears to be clear in the mid 50's should not be a factor.

what is the over at?

the over is the sucker's bet guys. personally, i like OU to win anywhere by 4-20 points depending on whether or not their special teams plays well. everyone i know woke up saying, "over". vegas could've set the total at 85 and people still woulda woke up saying, "over". do not underestimate the fact that OU's defensive coordinator is being looked at for a head coaching slot, has had 2 weeks to prepare, and the OU offense will control the line of scrimmage and minimize the number of minutes Tech's offense is on the field. also don't forget that Tech has had a great offense for several years, and yet the last 3 times they played in Norman they scored 13, 15, and 24. sure, maybe this is their best offense yet, but people say that about them every year.

Oklahoma will not run on TT.
Tech is a top twenty team in the nation in run defense, third in the Big 12 in total defense, and second in the conference in scoring defense.
Anybody who thinks OK will score at will on Saturday is drunk on Sooner Kool-Aid.
Anybody who thinks this game will go into the 80's is in for a shock.
TT 31
OU 23

B/c ou can stop tech- tech cant stop ou!

Tech has never had success in norman and that trend will not change! Last time tech played in norman competing for a big 12 champ. W/ kingsbury they walked away a 60-15 loser. It prob. Wont be that bad but it couuld get real ugly quick!

62-35 and that is cutting tech some slack!

Sooners will not hang a 62 spot on TT.
And if you think so, I'll put up my c-note to your 50.
Interested?
