I don't believe I've ever heard of anything particularly shady going on at oSu, so not sure what T95 thinks might be up?

oSu 45
Texas 28

That's as kind as I can be.

I think it’s gonna be a 38-35, or even higher but just as close, whoever has the football last kind of games.  OSU seems to have the better offense, at least so far but we’re comparing a seasoned QB like MR with a developing talent like Ehlinger.  Kid’s gonna be a star, I tell ya.  True OSU may pick apart the Texas secondary, but I don’t see OSU stopping Ehlinger and co either.  

Should be one of the best games of the week!

I'll take the Pokes and give the points

At some point Saturday the Texas offense became Ehlinger left, Ehlinger right, Ehlinger up the middle, repeat. I haven't watched the Cowboys enough to know how that might play out.  I've only seen one full game of theirs, against TCU, and they weren't too impressive.  TCU is probably better than I was giving them credit for at the time.  

That Longhorn secondary does seem to be a concern.  OSU may not fall into the standard category of needing to run in order to pass effectively.  

Just haven't seen enough of Okie Lite to gauge, but at some point the burnt orange offense is going to have to do something besides run Ehlinger.  

It wasn't just this past Saturday, it's been the entire season, and that's pretty much the point a couple of us have been making.  The Texas offense simply doesn't have anything aside from running the QB.



The o-line is beyond terrible.  There are a couple of legitimate reasons for that, but it doesn't change the reality.  The Texas running backs are also beyond terrible.  There's really no legitimate reason for that, it's just bad and incredibly disappointing.  Texas has no TE and hasn't for around a decade or so.  The Texas WRs occasionally show flashes but when the QB is constantly running for his life, there's only so much they can do, which isn't nearly enough.



Sam has done a good job for the position he's been placed in.  But there isn't anywhere near enough support around him to create a credible offense.  The current offensive design has already injured both of our QBs, and I have little doubt it will only get worse.  That's a pretty sad statement I have to make, and not for the team's offensive production, but rather for the health of these two kids.  

the diff in the game will be just how successful we are at rushing

Lord, I hope not.
