Texas has under 100 yards ... Kansas pooka Williams is faster than any back Bama has he’s just not as strong.

Wait until number 8 aka mini rhino hits your secondary. It will be ugly and painful for them.

Well, we already know that the OU secondary cannot tackle ...

Oklahoma has an elite offense in the conference that it plays in. But they haven't faced a defense on the level of a Alabama defense. And their defense is not going to be able to stop Alabama's offense.

OU doesn't have 'scrubs' on defense...they were pretty highly recuited and just haven't lived nearly up to their potential. Again though, this team is very, very accustomed to giving up a TON of points game in and out and still winning. Bottom line.

Well, I am not sure you know what you meant, I was just clarifying it for you.

Actually they do. Whether it is they just are not very good, or the defensive coach sucks at OU, they are pathetic. OU's only chance is for Alabama to turn the ball over 5 times like last time, but even then Alabama was still in the game with only a few minutes left.

If Alabama does not turn the ball over, Alabama probably runs OU out of the stadium (by 35 points) since they will score every time they have the ball. If Alabama turns the ball over even 3 times (which I doubt) Alabama will still win by 17.

This is a red herring, just like OU's defense.

The issues are Bama's defense, probably the worst one of a Saban championship team, and Tua's health.

Uh... everyone thinks Bama will destroy OU because Bama will probably score almost every time they have the ball. OU has a sick offense but they are not outscoring Bama, their defense is more than enough. shite just isn't happening.

But OU fans always think they will blow out everyone. Then Georgia damn near shuts them down in the 2nd half. Then Army takes them to overtime. Then they lose to Texas. Arrogant morons.

OU's only shot is to outscore bama in a shootout like they do pretty much every game they have won. OU's defense is fricking pathetic. Kyler Murray and Co are going to have to put up 50 points to win lol. That's their only shot. Idk how anyone could possibly expect the sooner defense to stop anybody, much less bama's offense with the skill players they have...it's just not gonna happen. They MUST score early and often, and I'm talking about touchdowns not field goals, if they want any chance to win this game. Bama's defense has been scored on this season and is vulnerable. Historically bama has struggled against prolific, playmaking qb's like kyler murray. OU will have to play lights out on offense and special teams and get a few stops from their defense, whether it's by bama screwing up or them causing turnovers, to have a shot. I think it will be a good game personally, but it's either going to be a close one that goes down to the wire, or Bama's gonna blow them out, bc Oklahoma isn't going to stop Bama frequently enough to get a chance to pull away from them. Lol, Oklahoma's defense is just so damn bad. shite.

Alabama has the #37 rushing offense at 202 ypg.
Kansas has the #80 rushing offense with 159 ypg.

Kansas ran for 348 yards vs. Oklahoma.

Got it figured out now?

Yea, their advanced stats line them up right around Arkansas but with less of a pass rush.


I got my Arkansas comparison from one of your fine threads

All three teams can beat Bama.

OU offense is downright scary with Murray running around back there. My guess is Bama plays keep away and runs it down OU's throat with that soft D they play.

Notre Dame is one of those tough, gritty teams that found ways to win this year. Wasn't always pretty but they have top athletes at every level and Book is a winner. They went toe to toe with UGA and LSU last year and can be a very physical football team that can give Bama some problems.

Clemson can hang with that defense and run game. Bama will likely attack their secondary which has been their weakness and Dabo knows what he's getting into with the recent history against Tide.

OU is a 3-4 loss team in the SEC this year. They wouldn't beat any number of SEC teams including Bama, UGA, LSU, or MSU. All of which have something they do not - an actual defense

As an A&M fan, I think we'd give them a hell of a game, simply playing keep-away like Army did. OU will score somewhere around 20-30 pts. Alabama will score basically every single time they have it. Just like every game with the exception of UGA, it isn't going to be close

Murray is great in the BDF, because he doesn't get hit. Not the case here. He'd have been retired already due to injury, and full-time baseball

I think OU will win. The Bama secondary is green and the pass rush w/o blitzing is practically non-existent.
