GS, I think the change to Mike Stoops being the new defensive coordinator will make Oklahoma better defensively this season for this reason — they will be able to react without having to think first. These are top notch athletes coming to a university for one reason and one reason only . . . . TO PLAY FOOTBALL, not think. Venerables had too many coverage decisions to be made by the players worked into his scheme. Mike Stoops is eliminating this. I am just giddy about the possibilities.
I like your thoughts on the Texas Tech game. What do you think the line will be (I’m surprised they do not have a GOY line up for this game)?
I agree totally. Stoops is a revengeful type of guy. With his brother on board, the extra off weeks, QB Landry back, who also remembers, the over all talent disparity, this sets up for an old fashion butt kicking.
BS…I’m hoping this game will be in the single digits. Much will depend on what Texas Tech does the week before at Iowa State. If you remember, Tech upset OU last year, and then the following week laid an egg at home against Iowa State 41-7. So this is definitely a revenge game for TT. Many may not know that Tech was already a semi-wounded team with injuries entering that OU game, but their injuries mounted up significantly after OU, which is why they went downhill so quickly and lost their last 5 games. I’m thinking the line will be close to a tossup when TT goes to Ames. And I give them a decent chance at beating ISU, who I don’t think will be as good on defense as they were a year ago. If they can do that, OU should get a decent line.
jimmyd…Stoops has a very good record in revenge games. I’m not really that confident on their other two revenge games against OSU and Baylor since they’re being played in Norman and the spread will be high for those games. But I do like this one.
