Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

That game has, to borrow the OAM term, 24ing potential.

Rare Oklahoma catches a team with a better offense and worse defense.

Not this year.  Not the defensive part, anyway.
OU has the 2nd-best defense in the Big 12 and is ranked 19th in total defense in FBS.

It's not a typical Saturday, but it's something.

First Responder Bowl
3:30 pm, ABC
UTSA v. Louisiana

UTSA is a spunky little team - they can run the ball, play some defense, and have been good on not turning the ball over.  They gave BYU all they wanted, and overall had a nice season for the 91st ranked team on F+..  But because the football world is run by idiots, they play Louisiana, who is a good team (27th) which already beat Iowa State by 17 and whose only loss was by 3 to Coastal Carolina.  Usually we get ticket sales as the excuse as to why bowl officials do these kinds of things, but that seems like a weak one this year.

LendingTree Bowl
3:30 pm, ESPN
Western Kentucky v. Georgia State

Ah, let's gather round and celebrate the long history of the LendingTree Bowl.  I'm not sure how it happened, but this game exists, featuring 5-4 Georgia State (82nd on F+) and 5-6 Western Kentucky (92nd on F+).  How you get a bowl game out of that combo is news to me, but hey, if you watch, let me know how it goes.

Cure Bowl
7:30 pm, ESPN
Liberty v. Coastal Carolina

Well, here it is, the greatest Cure Bowl in history.  Also a byproduct of college football idiocy, but at least the game might be good.  Hugh Freeze and his Gemstones have had a great season, with the only blemish a 1 point loss to NC State and wins over Syracuse and Virginia Tech.  Coastal Carolina has been awesome, and a lot of fun to watch on offense.  This one is wider on the fancystats than I expected - CC is 13th (one spot ahead of TAMU) but Liberty clocks down at 49th.  So, I dunno, I have a feeling Hugh Freeze will call in a few favors to get his team warmed up for this game.

Ah.  Sorry that I missed it.
The sorry defense for five years (2015-19) has been the cause of much angst among Sooner fandom, especially when we consider the many great defenses of previous OU teams.
So I'm probably spring-loaded to go into defensive posture.
But it has been MUCH better this year in Alex Grinch's second year as DC.  It's not great--yet--but it at least qualifies as good.
Meanwhile, the offense has taken a step backward this year.  Freshman QB, loss of top two RBs, most of the OL starting the season fat and out of shape, poor 2nd-half play-calling by Lincoln Riley--there have been many explanations.  It's the leading offense in the Big 12, but it's not a great offense.
I don't think we can win a shootout with Florida.  We are going to need our defense to get some stops on the Gators.

Oh man - Utah RB Ty Jordan passes away from an accidental gunshot. Was just named the Pac Freshman of the Year

One of the weirdest plays I’ve ever seen in CC and Liberty. Tie game with under a minute left.  Liberty has the ball inside the 5 and CC has no timeouts.  Liberty is purposely not trying to score a TD to set up a GW FG at the gun, while CC wants them to score to get the ball back.

 The Liberty RB gets caught up in a scrum where the CC defenders are trying to drag him across the goal line while one of his TE is trying to pull him back to keep from scoring.  In the midst of all that, the RB fumbles the football.  CC recovers and we’re headed to OT.
