I think Urban is a maniac in big games like this and big game bob will fold under the pressure. Our defense has shown zero blitzing packages against the weaker opponents... look for us to pressure baker all night and win big,
I've got a bad feeling about this game. I think our youth catches up to us. My track record picking against has been off, so I hope I'm wrong here too. OU 28 OSU 17
I don't blame anyone for voting their gut... but we have one of the top two coaches in CFB, have more talent on the roster than anyone not named alabama... and we are FAVORED. I find it hard to believe that some are picking us to lose when we are favorites... even if we are dogs, the homerism in me usually picks us to win, but I would never pick against us when Meyer is the favorite going in...I guess Im not sure your reasoning besides our youth, but Oklahoma hasn't looked good so far and Bob tends to have a few stinkers every year.

Agree with you in relation to the homerism factor. The closer to game time it gets, the more I will convince myself that we will win it. That is the primary reason I posted today.
Young team first time a VERY large portion of the team has gone on the road, not to mention it being under the lights in prime-time Lines have not been convincing Weather is going to be rough and we saw what happened last year with MSU and so far this year with Tulsa

If it were a battle of coaches, this would be a slam dunk, but unfortunately it isn't.
I still think OSU pulls it out, but Oklahoma is a lot more experienced, and experience matters (especially since this is the first road game for a lot of these people AND it's at night).
It definitely gives a lot of pause to their ability to win.
