	Report Comment Bird1, Tulsa (10/6/2008 1:33:39 PM) I don't see either team having a big advantage in this game. Of course OU will be the favorite for good reason, but Texas is tough, talented, deep and won't give up. I see an old fashion, Knock-down, drag-out, street style Slug-Fest between two of the nations's best. OU has improved it's "D" more than Texas and that should be a big difference. I think our "O" hs more options than the Longhorns too. Bradford is a key, but having so many backs to go to and receivers to throw to will also determine the outcome. Colt is the key to their "O", but too much so. He is one of their leading rushers and I think our "D" can catch him and minimize his danger. GO OU!!!!
	Report Comment Bird1, Tulsa (10/6/2008 3:04:30 PM) Kind of. We have 3 Freshmen, 2 of them are RS. Matt Moreland, RSF, Jimmy Stevens, RSF and Tress Way, Freshman. don't know much about them except Matt and Tress are out of Tulsa (BK & Union) and Jimmy is out of OKC (Heritage Hills?). Let's hope we don't need them. I don't mean to "slight" them, but we don't know what they are capable of yet. We haven't really needed them so far this season and they are Freshmen. I'm sure the coaching staff has taken this into consideration and let the rest of the team know what they have to do.
	Report Comment Bird1, Tulsa (10/6/2008 3:23:00 PM) Colorado has the Altitude to help them. I thought the Buffs gave Texas a better game than anyone expected. I saw some holes. If they try to cover our receivers too much, Sam is sharp enough to audible and use our backs. I just don't think Texas "D" is up to our "O". They will stop us here and there, but we are just to balanced to be stopped totally. It will be quite a "chess" game between the coaches. So far this year, we have been able to jump out there quickly before the opponents can figure out how to defend us. Texas won't be as easy, but I think we will still hit 'em early and hard. I also think your score prediction will be pretty close.
	Report Comment Bird1, Tulsa (10/6/2008 3:32:48 PM) I just re-read your second paragraph and agree totally. I don't think they can cover the corners and TE too. Especially if they want to stop the run. When our "O" is "clicking", the term "juggernaut" is very appropriate.
	Report Comment Bird1, Tulsa (10/6/2008 3:47:21 PM) It seems to be tradition to start the game by running, but I think they will expect that and stack the box. Why not reverse the trend with some play action? Their "D" is fast, so use that speed against them and keep them wondering for the rest of the game. I don't want to say this will be our toughest game because we still have Kansas, OSU, TT and maybe Mizzou yet. At the very least, it will be an excellent Test. No time for "stumbles" from here on out, baby. Some phrases come to mind, but I can't put them in print here.
	Report Comment Bird1, Tulsa (10/6/2008 3:59:55 PM) Send that to Stoops and Crew.
	Report Comment Bird1, Tulsa (10/6/2008 4:02:02 PM) Guess we're the only two that read this article. Enjoyed the Chat, Swami121658. Gotta go.
	Report Comment Sooner Alum 04, (10/6/2008 8:52:50 PM) OU and Texas is going to be the best game the country has seen yet this year. I know it sounds like I'm being a homer , but lets face it; not one single game thats been hyped up this year nationally has lived up to its hype. Texas is a great team but I honestly think Stoops and company are on to something with the no-huddle offense. Colt McCoy is all they have and their defense is suspect. They have won 52-10 three times this year thus far by the same score and that is what I pick Oklahoma to stomp their ass by this weekend. BOOMER SOONER!!!!
	Report Comment Drumie, Palatine, IL (10/6/2008 10:05:53 PM) I think that it is unfortunate that OU is not playing Missouri this year (unless it will be for the Big 12 Championship game). Bradford is one of the best quarterbacks in the country. I would like to see him win the Oscar (Heisman) this year. But Chase Daniel is getting a lot of publicity. If OU played Missouri this season, they would have a chance to knock him out of the box.
