The deep ball is a very serious threat and it's something Baker excels at. Getting pressure on him and not letting those deep routes develop is key.
Deep routes are one thing....the underneath stuff is where he truly excels at. We start blitzing a ton and he will link up with TE Mark Andrews for 15 yard gains in the middle all night long. Andrews has over 900 yards and 8 TDs for the season. He is also the all time leading TE at OU. Huge weapon that is easily overlooked.

You're as bad here as you are on Landthieves.
If OU torches UGA early, UGA may be able to come back and win, but it wont' be decisive.
What makes you think that UGA will wear OU down?

Do you even watch football? You should have someone explain it to you.

Composure and physicality.
It's that simple. On both sides of the ball, UGA is gonna make OU quit. They don't want what the Dawgs are gonna bring.

As most had already assumed, no charges against Anderson in rape/sexual assault claim: LINK

These are just words.
It is asinine to think that either of these teams are going to "quit." These are big boys playing on the biggest stage.
OU's oline is one of the best in the country. It's offense is historically good. UGA's dline, no matter how nasty they are (and they are definitely nasty) aren't going to make OU quit.
UGA's offense will definitely present problems for OU's defense, but they aren't just going to quit. UGA will have to earn it the entire game, just like OU will.

I've been a pretty objective poster when it's came to OU...evidence of that can be seen on my previous post on this thread.
With that being said, if you think OU's O-line is the best in the country you need to say no to drugs.

I said they were one of the best. And they are.

I don't put much creedence in the "best in the country" debates, whether it's about a player or a unit or a team. There's not enough inter-conference play to make accurate comparisons, IMO. Fans love to make these claims, best RB, best linebacking corps, best DL, OL, secondary, etc. They use all kinds of statistics and anecdotes and records, but when two good teams line up on any given day, none of that bravado means much.
This game may be close, or one team may get a few calls and lucky breaks, or maybe one team just plays better on Jan 1st. Predicting all that is a crap shoot. Having said that, I'd have preferred to play Clemson in the 1st round because I think we might match up better with them. But that's just a guess and we might have the best defense OU has faced, and Mayfield won't look as dominant as he has so far. That's my hope.

As far as size and accolades go OU has a top 5 OL - at least according to what I've seen. I worry that we won't get much pressure with 4 and OU is very good at slipping somebody behind the LBs for quick gains when you blitz. It'll be fun to watch because there are no common opponents.
I have to think that OState and TCU had respectable Dlines though.

Think our speed at LBer and DE is a nuetralizer but they have to get to Mayfield and make it count.

Ask any former defensive player which they prefer to defend, runs or passes.
Their answer is passes.
When an offense runs over and over and over, it wears out the defense physically and mentally.
By the 4th quarter when they are all banged up, that's when the big runs get broken off.
People think a running team can't score quick... this is a myth.
A 50 yard pass play takes about 5 seconds off the clock from the snap.
A 50 yard run play takes about 7 or seconds off the clock from the snap.
A running team can light up the scoreboard almost as fast as a passing team can, when running fresh legs into a worn out defense late in a game.
Georgia was even with most teams at the half this year, and then just wore them out in the second half and blew them out. It's an age old formula. It's not Lincoln Riley's Flux Capacitor. It's the exploitation of basic mismatches with superior talent and depth across a full 4 quarters of football.
If football was only 2 quarters, I would bet my house on OU.

Would you consider a 14 point victory decisive? In the SEC, a 14 point victory is considered decisive. In the Big12, if a score is 64-50, maybe that isn't considered decisive.
Posted on 12/14/17 at 9:57 pm to deeprig9
Yup, as always if UGA runs the ball and stops the run...they win.

I think you hit the nail on the head. If UGA beats OU 28-14, that will be a decisive arse kicking. UGA will have completely dominated OU and stopped OU from doing what it does best - score in droves.
At the same time, when the score runs up in the 50s for either team, then a 14 point win is less decisive, because either team will have been score on most of their possessions and the game isn't really over until its over.
Obviously, either team will be happy to win and move on, no matter if it is a classic SEC showdown at 6-3 or if it is Big 12 barn burner at 63-59.

I have no idea how this is going to go. Neither team has faced anybody similar to the other. UGA hasn't seen a QB like Mayfield, and OU hasn't seen a downhill, physical team like UGA.
Posted on 12/15/17 at 7:55 am to Crowknowsbest
You're right, it is going to be a really interesting game. I can't wait.

Speaking of that site, they seem to convinced Fromm is a terrible QB or that their defense is on Auburn's level. Their passing defense is atrocious so even if we get in a shootout against OU, I don't see us getting run out of the stadium. Fromm may not be a great QB, but he'll be able to light up the Sooner defense
Posted on 12/15/17 at 12:35 pm to dawgfan24348
First, Fromm is a great QB and he has elite WRs catching his passes.
Second, OUs pass D has been bad, but it has been markedly better since we made personell changes after the Okla State game. It was a liability, but it is not now.
