...in the tenth tilt for OU Team 130, they're on the road at night in Columbia Missouri.
Facing a team they have thoroughly dominated since the days of the Big 8.
We all know the situation.
Hanging in the balance is OKLAHOMA's consecutive Bowl Game streak @ 25. 2nd longest in the nation!
Given the SOONERS 5-4 record, can't help but feel a little apprehension, but at the same time also feel a little confidence after last week.
The injury curse continues to plague OU, as Jovantae Barnes didn't make the trip after a 200 plus yds performance last week. Best RB game all season.
Looks like the SOONERS will have an all-freshmen backfield for the Tigers. Can you say OPPORTUNITY, young men?
Hopefully, we'll get to see Jalil Farooq & Deon Burks in action again. Either or both could make a game impacting contribution so needed.
Have a hunch we may see JA's best game of the year. No particular reason, just think his trajectory as the starter is trending upward again. Gut feeling!
Always want the shutout from the SOONER Defense, and expect a low scoring game. As has been the theme all Fall, Defense will likely determine the outcome of this game.
And, in a close defensive contest, the Kicking Game is always vital. Have to win the field position battle.
Clock management may be a factor late, something that has become a concern 3 years into Venables tenure.
SOONERS will be in my favorite uni's, their Road Whites. Love that look!
The Opening Line reflected in Snarling Dogs was Missouri by 4 pts.
It has since "moved" to OKLAHOMA by 3.5. A huge line change in a week. Have to assume a lot of money wagered on the SOONERS.
Just about everybody seems to be predicting a SOONER Win, which explains some apprehension on my part.
But the trend favors OKLAOMA who is 11-2 ATS in their last 13 games as a road dog.
I think OU wins this one!
Get me the shutout, DEFENSE!!!

I too Chinaman feeling good about today! The Ol is playing better which makes the O a lot better with hopefully Burks and Faroog back we will win. The D is very good and hope the pass D can keep them controlled. Get win #6 and who know with Bama and Lsu!
If you're like me and don't get SEC network, here is the game on youtube:
All that is gold does not glitter.
Not all those who wander are lost.
The old that is strong does not wither.
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
