I can think of 3 or 4 others teams that would have found the end zone all night last Monday.
But how many of those teams would have held Alabama to 21 points? Oklahoma State is 90th in rushing defense and gave up 365 yards rushing and 33 points to Tulsa, 231 rushing yards to Texas, 248 rushing yards to Missouri, 192 rushing yards to Iowa State, and 243 rushing yards to Stanford. Just imagine what Trent Richardson would have done to them.

The real part of that is Weeden stays on the bench getting cold while Bama works 7-8 min drives. Then he comes back in and gets attacked by fanactical 300lb DT's and 250 LB's that run a 4.5 40 with blitz packages he's never seen before. When they don't have to worry about a run they just pin their ears back and go. Ask Tyler Wilson what that's like. He may be the toughest guy in the SEC to have taken the hits he did and keep getting back up. It was so bad vs Bama Petrino took him out of the game at the end of the 3rd qtr to save him for the rest of the schedule. You just don't have time to sit and wait for your WR's to get open. If you don't have a dual threat in the running game to keep these guys honest you might as well get the stretcher and the morphine drip ready. There's no way you're going to last the whole game.
