A few TT twists or TE stunts. Some Double A gap pressures. Zone blitz him with Q and or Buggs dropping into short zone areas. Screw with his head!!!

He's had a relatively easy and clean year playing behind that line. Hit him early and often. Get him thinking about that pro baseball career. See if we can Colt McCoy him.

Otherwise, the method is the same as it always is. Limit the run game, force the pass. Capitalize on any mistakes, limit our own mental errors. We won't be reinventing the wheel here.

Yeah, Murray had a ton of time to throw in the OU games I've watched this year. Now that's due to several reasons, including OU's elite OL.

You just can't allow Murray to sit back there and direct traffic until he can hit an open man.

I hear this a lot. Is their offensive line truly elite, or have the defensive fronts and overall defenses they've played in the Big12 been weak?

I'm guessing they're good but untested.

They grade out really well. Are they the 2012 line? No, but they absolutely are a strong pass blocking unit that has experience and has gelled together. Multiple OL from that unit will be in the NFL.

Would you mind getting an email, or better yet, tweet Mac and let him know that this is DEFINITELY ALLOWED? TIA, brother.

Slightly off topic, but if it's raining, who do you guys think it favors, if anybody?

Funny; I've been thinking about this. If there's heavy rain, that would have to favor us. If we get into a ball control, ground and pound type of game our defense is much more fit to transition to that play style.

How bout a Brother Bill throw back wrinkle with all 11 defenders on the line of scrimmage?

They might be the best O-line we've seen all year.

While this could technically be true, it also might not be. And even if it is the best, we've seen a few offensive lines who are close to this. GA's Oline is top 5. Ours is certainly top 5, and I'm pretty sure we go 1s vs 1s pretty frequently.

How many defensive front 7s has Oklahoma seen that in any way approximate ours? Not a damn one. They can't even simulate it in practice. Same goes for our secondary and speed at LB.
