Oh Bill, why not just say it's a disappointment if they don't win the mythical national championship.

Sure, they lost their senior defensive quarterback, Orie Lemon, their starting tight end, will have a hobbled starting running back for the rest of the year, and look as though they've sustained injuries to their star receiver and star cornerback, nevermind the lingering effects of a preseason injury to their quarterback...but hey, there should be absolutely no drop off. They should only lose one game the rest of the year, because that's what a few people said before the season started...or it's a 'bust' and Gundy should be fired right away.

By the way, since injuries have no affect on teams, OU should also win the mythical national championship. I mean, they were ranked 3rd preseason weren't they? Anything less and Stoops is a bust. According to your reasoning, both Oklahoma schools are probably going to be busts this year. Let's just fire both coaches now and save ourselves the heartache.

Certainly premature. Guess this helps sell Newspapers. The Cowboys are off track but give'em the Grambling game and a week off to get their footing. I think the defense if pretty well maligned...no one seems to consider the caliber of the offenses it has player against. Georgia was held in check, Houston has a super offense, a hot quarterback, and got a lot of breaks. Rice was a tune-up game...lots of subs. Grambling will also be a tune-up game but I hope they do not take the game to lightly and run up the score a little bit before bringing in other players. My biggest concern is the offense not moving the ball well on the ground. We will see how good the Sooners are once they play and beat a good team. Other than UTAH they have not been tested.
