Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Venables knew this game is the one that mattered...IMO he has pulled a Kirby 22, and has been preparing some stuff just for us pretty much since pre-season(blew my mind when Kirby admitted he had done that after our game)

He will throw the kitchen sink early at Nico and hope it gets him and the OL in their heads, hoping it will bog us down all game, and thus giving their offense a chance to throw some haymakers they haven't shown yet and keep it close at home.


He can hope...but that is all it is...a hope. We will see if it works...they have some hosses at all 3 levels on defense...they just don't have a lot of them, so they have to force us to go 3 and out over and over early...or their defense will be wore out quick.
I think they can keep it close for most of the 1st half. I think we take the lead in the 2nd qtr. Then start pulling away about midway through the 3rd qtr.

I think the magic number for OU is 38. They need to go over 38 and keep us below it. I don't think they can do either.

41-27 Vols.

Pate thinks OK will drag us into a rock fight and cover the 7 pt spread.


I think they will try and do that also, and that will helped by it being in Norman...but if it doesn't work...it won't be pretty.

If this was at Neyland...I'd be feeling a 21+ point blowout..but it is not and it will make a difference.


Hopefully this is the game where we threw off the dreaded "road game issues" of running our offense and nuke them into oblivion...but until we do it, that is all it is...hope.

I'm guessing Heupel has also held back a lot of plays just for Oklahoma. Plays that weren't necessary in the first few games.
 
How have you been doing?
Good, thanks for asking. After a 'radial amputation'...yikes...finally made it back to Huntsville from Spokane. Wife is a nurse and works in Spokane so stayed there for about a month and a half. Now, please oh please, let the infection be vanquished. My main task now? Which Tennessee game should I attend this year and just how much of my bank account do I need to empty out?
