First off, 21 points is not that big of a dog, even if it doesn't go down, which it probably will. It wouldn't even be that big of an upset if we won. There's been numerous articles in the past month that mention the possibility of us winning or giving OU a game. Expect that to continue. Their new LT could be amazing but they still have to replace QB, LT, C, TE. And they lose 4 off a defense that was not one of OU's better defenses to say the least. There's some so so teams that hung up big numbers on them.Posted On: Jan 21st 2018, 2:24 AM #376536
This reminds me back when I was going to FAU the season after we won the NO Bowl, a lot of hype going into that Texas game, some media even gave us an upset watch. We were promptly dismantled by the Longhorns (who were suppose to have a down season).
Look, I hope we give them the game of the year, but the sheer amount of depth and talent OU has is not to be dismissed, the drop off between talent levels of C-USA and Big 12 are still huge. One problem we've always seemed to have when playing Big 12 or Big 10 teams is the size difference in the lines, I wish we made more of an effort to schedule more ACC or even PAC-12 opponents.

In what world do you live in that 21 points is not a huge spread?

Three lines of note:
2017 @ Wisconsin +34.5, lost by 17 = 17.5 our way.
2015 @ UF +31, lost by 6 = 25 our way.
2013 @ USF +10.5, won by 18 = 18.5 our way.

I do agree with this. I will make the trip for the experience, but have no expectation of winning, but if we’re ever gonna best a top 10 team it’s as good of a shot we will ever have.
