re: I'm really at a loss picking the OU vs Bama game

quote:

If Bama runs the ball they win going away

If we JUST run the ball, all we do is keep both scores lower, and the margin for error smaller.

Bama's defense is going to stop OU's offense more than OU's defense is going to stop Bama's offense. So, the more possessions, the larger the margin of victory will be for Bama.

Trying to run the ball and shorten the game is what you do when you have a dominant defense and an "ok" offense.
