That’s all that’s needed given how OU’s offense looks lol

And OU hasn’t? They’ve also struggled every game this year.

Clemson had a tough defense against Georgia

Then they folded in the second-half

Kentucky would have that kind of home record if they played in the B12.

That stat means nothing in the SEC.

The receivers would be nice, especially Nic, but getting Hickman back at starting Center would be massive to that offensive line. Most people don't see the impact of a center going down. It's more or less a second quarterback on the offense, considering how much of the decision making that position delivers to the rest of the offensive line.

*McCullough potentially back at Cheetah is just a little gravy on that defense. Same with Gentry.

If they get Hickman back it will be huge for OU.

Is this Nico’s first road game? Maybe the reason for the line.


Sorta. He played in the bowl game vs Iowa and NC State in Charlotte. Charlotte was technically a neutral site but is about as neutral as us playing in Nashville.

Texas occupies so much real estate in your mind that you go out of you way to mention them in threads that has nothing to do with them

I found out a long time ago that if Vegas has a line that makes no sense, they know something you don't. If I were a gambler, I'd take OU at -3.

That line doesn't exist or we'd all be taking it. (EDIT: For UT to win, I mean)

I feel like trying to spread OU out plays into their game. They’ll sit on routes and force turnovers, especially with a Freshman at QB. Arnold is a jag though, not enough offensive production to win.

The look ahead line for the last six weeks was OU -4 1/2

That shifted Saturday as game started approaching.

I’m telling everyone this will not be a cakewalk for Tennessee

It will be the most hostile environment they play in all year against arguably the best defense they play all year

Yea CBS doesn’t take bets so they are def wrong. There isn’t a single place you can put a bet in that TN isn’t favored by Atleast 6

Seriously, if I gambled I would be all over that. OU looks kind of weak this year. Still, UT hasn’t played anyone yet …
I actually wouldn’t touch that line with a 20-ft pole. Waaay too many unknowns at this point.

You can’t do that with Tennessee as it opens running lanes. Vols are a run heavy team first and foremost.


The way to beat the Vols is to blitz and pray. You drop 8 they will run over you. You stack the box and they will pick you apart. Blitz and pray you guessed right.

OU has 8 starters back that haven’t played


They will be a different team Saturday.

Tennessee will get knocked out if they don’t them seriously

OU by 7 is my early prediction
