Just that every loss they have will help to some degree. By the way, he IS a BIG loss, 6'8" 345 lbs. Would be very hard for us to stop him.d-owl said
And more good news, All American TE Andrews leaving early too!!!!

You sound ridiculous.
OU by that game will have had back to back top 10 classes.
They have guys leave early every year and win the big 12 every year.
They also have the 4th best OT in the country coming in this year who if he attended here he would be the best player on the team without a single question before he ever wore pads.
For us to beat them there would have to be something out of control you never see.
Win turnover battle by 5 Motor run for 300 yards whoever our qb is goes 42-45 passing.
Right now I'd say we are as good as the 2016 WKU team and they lost to Vandy in OT.

You're probably right there.
I've been wondering what it would take to pull off the upset. The question is: are Kiffin and Briles "offensive geniuses" enough to come up with a gameplan that would allow inferior players to beat superior players? Is that possible, provided our players execute the plan a high level?
Wouldn't that be the true challenge for them to truly claim that title of "offensive genius" so often bestowed upon them?
And can you think of an example of that elsewhere, where the coaching was inventive enough to erase the gap between two teams?

We have 3 things going in our favor IMO:
Tons of returning starters - most of which are upper classmen
1st game of the year - if there is a time to play a big time team, 1st game is it
Coaching - Usually G5 coaching staffs are out gunned by a big time P5 coaching staff. This is not the case.
Factors against us:
Replacing OLineman vs what I am sure are NFL quality DLinemen on OU
QB battle - If Driskell loses out, it will be Robinsons first ever start. Tough task on the road in Norman.
OU - They are insanely talented and tough at home vs. more talented opponents than ourselves.
We will see what happens.
I just know this - we will have to win the turnover battle +3 minimum to win the game.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

What makes you think he transfers at this point? Unless he loses the job badly in spring practice.
