#1 - have no injuries

Since having injuries is always an out.

Like most games between two teams of roughly equivalent talent (Bama has more talent, but not a huge amount more)... it will likely come down to turnovers.

OU won in turnover margin 3-0 last time. They won the game.

Whoever has fewer turnovers likely wins.

If turnovers are equal, I'm thinking Bama likely sneaks out the win because they do have slightly more talent... but who knows?

Yep. The key for Bama is when Mateer throws it directly to a Bama defender, catch the ball.

OU is favored by 1.5. Vegas has odds on OU winning. Everybody always gets 3 points given to them just for home field advantage.

Bama wins and Vegas wins.

Book it

this year was closer but still dominated the line of scrimmage.

Are you saying that OU dominated the LOS in this year's game? You can't possibly be saying that.

Fair enough. However OU has the experience in the wind. Just like a cold weather team in the cold. It will effect the offense most of all.

I know one thing.. I can't wait for kick.

Keys to winning? Don't self destruct. We could have won the game a month ago without it.

Also, OU defense is very good. They caused the issues we had on offense and took advantage when they had the opportunity. Good teams do that.

That would have really helped.

Don’t turn the ball over. Oklahoma cannot drive the length of the field unless they get a random cat buster play.

IMO OU needs to be +2 in TO margin to win this game. Which is very possible they could be. 20 points by bama should be enough to win if they play clean on Special teams and aren’t sloppy on offense.
