I think the game meant more to OU than it did to UF.  And UF was down some guys.  We know a bit about that.  The only other time we played the Gators DeMarco Murray was out with injury, incurred on a kick-coverage play in--IIRC--the Big 12 CCG.

But I'm really happy for the win.  We had lost 3 straight CFP semifinals against SEC teams.

A lot of media guys were saying that OU would have been a tough out in the CFP this year.  I don't know about that.  We're a lot better than we were when we suffered 4th-quarter collapses against ISU and KSU to start conference play.  And I think that had we won either of those games, we would have been in the CFP.  But we're still not there, IMO.

We still need the D to get better, and Rattler will be better, more mature, next year.
i don't know what all ou has coming back, but they look to be one of the major contenders coming into 2021. uf was missing a lot, but i'm not sure it mattered with the way ou was playing. closer game for sure, but ou probably still wins fairly convincingly. 10-14 points or so.

AS a player, I would opt out were I draftable.  As a fan, I dislike it of course, but it makes sense to me.

I've always questioned how a bowl game is any more of an "exhibition" than a November game between a couple of 7-4 teams.  I think this season, with COVID reasons, has opened the door to that going forward.

I'd guess 7-4 teams won't have that many draftable players, and the 1 or 2 they do have would likely be trying to improve their draft stock.

Do you think Trask should have opted out last night?  After the fact, yes.  He may have dropped into the 2nd round.

We saw the Oklahoma State RB opt out very early this year, I think to avoid risk of injury.

i can't say i blame them, especially with millions on the line. but i'm not sure it's a good thing either.

plays can and do, quit on their team whenever they like for any reason

I'm not much for quitters

OSU hardly has anyone opt out. Brandon Roby is the only one that jumps to mind.

If your players cannot wait to get the hell out of there, that's a problem.

Could have used him vs Clemson and Taj Boyd/Sammy Watkins,they lost 40-35.He sat out,Shazior played Hurt and Fr phenom Noah Spence with 8 sacks was out.He had more than even Joey Bosa.Braxton played with a hurt shoulder that he reinjured in 2014 training camp.Somehow Clemson always has our Voodoo Doll

Seems like every team in the league has a few guys from the MS schools, and they are perennial 7-5 teams.

They are like Rocky Mountain Oysters, only instead of sheep it is a Germanic bloke with a poor disposition.

Seriously,these were from the frozen section but local grocers make them by hand.I'm sure if you have a Krogers or even an Aldi's should have them in the freezer section.These have ham/kraut worcestershire & soy sauce,seasoned & breaded - damn good
Edit-Cindy said she hasn't seen them around for a while,maybe only dragging them out for New Years.I remember my mom making them back in the day
