WVU-OU will be a hell of a game.
It’s oretty shocking Ou only has one loss. I would argue they are maybe two plays and an injury away from being 8-3 right now.
Anywho, think WVU wins something like 56-44. OU has caught quite a few breaks but I’m gonna day that it ends on Friday. The defense is historically bad and they’re facing one of the more complete teams in the Big 12.
The big question mark is if WVU can get the stops. They’ve got a smart guy at DC and they won the first half against us last week but we made an adjustment that left WVU reeling, seeking answers and gasping for air in a 17 point come back. If WVU allows Ou to rush for 5+ YPC they’re going to struggle to win the game and it may affect their offensive consistency.
Here’s the deal. OSU’s defense, which had been total shit for most of the season, has actually been covering pretty well lately. All three of our sacks on a relatively impossible to sack Kyler Murray came on coverage sacks. We forced numerous stops against WVU in the latter portion of the first half and held WVU to 10 points in the second half.
OU can’t cover. They can’t tackle, fit the run, they can’t really rush the passer, and they can’t cover at all. I don’t think Ou is going to stop them as much as we were able to. That’s troubling for an OU team that has barely gotten by in 2 of their last 3, and for an OU team that pretty much got dominated by the first team that matched their athleticism in Texas.
For me it comes down to this. If OU can rush for 200+ on 4.5-5+ YPC WVU probably won’t have a shot and we get games similar to 2015, 2016, and 2017. But if they can attack their running game and force punts like UT did, maybe get a turnover or two, they’ll have a real shot. WVU’s defense completely ran out of gas in the fourth quarter, prompting Dana Holgorsen to go for several fourth down conversions down the stretch. If I were a WVU fan or coach my biggest concern would be the defense wearing down against the best offensive line they’ll face all year.
I expect no more than a 14 point win either direction. Should be a fun game.

Without KYLER OU easily has a few more losses. Fucking Bob let his fuckhead brother stick around way too long and it's going to take a couple of years to fix the defense

I wasn’t even talking about him either. Without Kyler I would think OU is probably 7-4 at best right now.
That said, I would think Alan Bowman and Tech get the win if he isn’t knocked out of the game, and a few bounces were the difference in bedlam.
But yeah the OU defense since 2012, with the exception of 2014 (I think) has been pretty turrible. But even Venables had his troubles here.

Always enjoy the OSU tradition of crossing out all of the Ms during the Game week:

Yeah, Venables struggled some but not this badly. OU's offense has performed at historic levels since Riley was hired but it's been wasted by shitty defense.
And if not for this Bammer team being possibly the best ever with Tua having a great season, OU would probably have back-to-back Heismans. Murray has been spectacular.

I love the canned apology. I reely hope after his last game interview is blurts out OUs defense sucks as a parting gesture to the Big 12.
This guy has WWE written all over him.

It seems especially sophomoric given that they have been big brother to Michigan for the last 10 years or so.

Here to fix the cable
Two guys with the same number on the field at the same time. Is that the dumbest penalty ever?

OUT with the GOUT
The dumbest thing ever is allowing two guys to have the same number in the first place.
If they both want the same number, let them settle it in a cage match. Or better yet, put the Jersey with the number they both want inside a small, windowless room, lock them both inside, and then the player who comes out gets it. The other guy gets kicked off the team (or buried, whatever the case may be)
Baby Miles would be winning this game.
