The Common Man Prediction Thread – Okie Lite

[Sirhornsalot]

I watched as Oklahoma State celebrated their come from behind home victory over BYU. IMO, the celebration should have ended before it started. They had just had a brush with conference title game death and were jumping around about it. They are lucky. And BYU had no business being in that game. But they were. BYU lost by 6 points.

Three weeks earlier, OSU lost 45-3 at Central Florida.

Honestly, I don't know how OSU beat ou. They're not that good of a football team. But somehow they've put together a good year and they have the potential for beating a team like ou and, if everything were to go in their favor – Texas.

Texas, OTOH, has a much higher standard. This team knows the conference title is within their grasp. They know a possible bid to the Show is at stake. There is literally everything to play for.

We will dominate the stadium and dominate the field.

OSU will have refs on their side. They will have a chip on their shoulder.

The Horns are peaking tho, and are a hell of a lot better team.

We need to use the lack of respect as a motivating factor. Still at #7 after smoking Tech and Oregon still ahead of us in spite of the head to head comparison with Tech should really piss them off. The only way we make the playoffs is with style points and they know that. Ever the optimist, I say we do our part!
Us - 72
Them - 7

This team is finally getting better week to week. It's been way to long since we were the BIG12 champions and this is our final chance.

Another blow out win will help us move into the top 4 in the polls

Texas 45.

Mike Gundy is a really good coach and Ollie Gordon is a giant pinball. It's hard to tackle a giant pinball.

Its a good thing this isnt considered holding, amirite? The ref was 8 yards away, top left, looking right at it but it wasnt in this shot

 

[MBHORNSFAN]

Texas a lot

Fighting Gundy's not very much


Fuc* The Big 12

Has it been announced which officiating crew we get in Arlington

Has it been announced which officiating crew we get in Arlington

Please no Kevin Mar

 

[Hiwood]

Please no Kevin Mar

we got what I thought was a good crew at BYU, you could hear the HJ say after every play "...we're done here"

Im guessing Kevin Mar is the Asian looking ref we had against Tech

This is the game we need Sweat and Murphy more than ever. A true game we must win in the trenches on both sides of the ball.

I think we get it done but Big 12 wants it close. 31-27 Horns.

The Big 12 championship.

The game I wish we had a 100% Catalon to help kill their running game. Our other safeties are decent but don’t cut it right now. We stop the run very well but this is the best back we will face in this conference this year. He will get yards and likely 1-2 25yd+ rushes if he can get past the DL/LB core which he will.

Regardless of their mild success in the running game, there’s an extra focus level this team brings. Adonai is a championship pedigree WR and he will show case it this Saturday.

To me this is a bit closer for 3 quarters with Texas dominating the 4th and pulling away.

Texas - 35
Oklahoma St - 21

Sark has finally convinced this team to play hard for four quarters. That much talent and depth for an entire game is tough to win against.

One thing the guys at IT have mentioned, likely a similar defensive game plan compared to this past week.

OSUs WRs out wide are pretty similar to Techs. Not guys that give you much concern to be beat deep. They may have a better slot presence with Hal Presley. Tech was missing Myles Price in the slot.

We will try to stop the run with an honest box and likely play press man coverage on the outside on both sides of the field.
