Here's the crux of this one. The Sooners have one more chance to tune up before West Virginia. It's taking every ounce of my being to avoid using this space to explain how it's going to go down the rest of the way.
Fuck it.
The Sooners will win unconvincingly today. They will get their shit together next week. They have a really good shot at winning the Big 12 title game but if it's Iowa State I could see them losing it. For reasons that can only be attributed to television ratings, the Sooners will be selected to The Playoffs. They will get beat. It is bizarre how year after year the same scenario unfolds.
Alas, Kansas.
OFFENSE
As per yoozsh, the Sooners can only stop themselves. At this point that means they get a little too cute on offense. For instance, when they average 10+ yards per carry they will throw in some razzle dazzle, get behind the chains then do some kind of draw play.
I can't really blame them. When you have a garage full of luxury vehicles you want to drive them all. Today though they really just need to make it short, clean and injury free. I realize I just got done describing the gaudy run game but since there are only two healthy backs the best way to go about keeping folks injury free is to use the run game sparingly.
Therefore, Marquise Brown, now fully healthy, should have a field day.
DEFENSE
It is quite something to be told week after week that you stink and, yet, be unable to do anything the next week to change anyone's opinion. Even by recent Oklahoma defensive standards this team is historically bad. They do not deserve to be in the playoffs. They will sadly do nothing to change the opinion today. It's lose-lose for them. If they play well who cares? They should kick Kansas' ass. Nothing short of six turnovers would make me feel anything close to warm and fuzzy entering next week.
I'll take Kenneth Murray. He at least tackles a lot.
THE SCORE
OU runs rough shod but Kansas gets 24.
OU 70 Kansas 28
Boomer to the motherfuckin Sooner
