Remember that night? Get down 35-7 and storm back. The Scaife TD was so big before the half. What is it with UT and Ok. St.? Texas has gone 10-1 the last 11 and hasn't lost to the Cowboys since '97 (I won't bother you with that scoreboard). But it's a meat grinder every time. Like I said earlier, forget about all this coach talk. Gundy did what he did. Mack said what he said. Whatever. This game for me boils down to 2 elements. #1- Can Colt carve up Ok. St.? There are only 3 teams...that's 3 that defend the pass worse than Ok. St. They give up 308/game (116th in the nation). I know the zone read worked a little against Nebraska, but this one is on the arm of 12. #2- Can Texas stop the Cowboys' run game? The last 2 weeks, Ok. St. rushed for 317 on Neb. then 329 on K. St. And get this, they run a greater percentage of the time in Big 12 play than A&M does. Wow. I was at the station today and Craig Way laid that one on me. He had Dave Hunziker(Ok. St pxp) on his show today, and Dave brought it up. Texas has been good against the run, but Dantrell Savage might be the best back they've seen. Nothing against Murray at OU, and their RB unit is better, but Savage is back from injury and has 5 straight 100 yard games. In the end, I'm going to trust Texas' defense more than the Cowboys' and pick UT to go 8-2. One more pic...
Just seeing VY does something to you, doesn't it? Notice he's clear and almost everything else is blurry. My camera refused to blur #10. I have a smart camera. I've gotten some cool shots over the years that I'll be sharing from time to time. More football talk at 5:20 including my pick for the A&M-OU game.
