Thanks, Fearless.

Good luck to Scott Frost and the Huskers in 2018.

don't think it will happen, but I'm curious to see where the pollsters would rank UCF if they knocked off the mighty SEC today

top 10 for sure, would they put them in the top 5?

I think they'd be about #5.

Right now, UCF is looking like a better, more physical team than Auburn.  Leading 10-3.

If Milton and his receivers could get on the same sheet of music, UCF would have an even bigger lead.

27 minutes.

SEC teams went 1-2 earlier today, and have generally disappointed in bowl results.  I don't know if that says anything about how well Georgia will play vs. OU.

I don’t think it means anything relative to The Game today.

What matters now is simply how UGa and OU match up, and who brings their A game.  Remember that game between USC and OU when we brought our C game?  I’m just hoping we’re at least B level if not A!

Go Sooners!

Great first quarter!

The tempo of this game so far works in OU's favor.

Wow.  Sooners put up 360 yards in the 1st half against UGA's hyped defense.

Well, we could have had a 17-point lead, but the squib kick didn't get executed properly and we take a 14-point lead to halftime.

All in all, pretty good.

Our freshman MLB Kenneth Murray is getting abused.  Getting faked out of position repeatedly.

Just a fluke, Thumper.  The real Georgia defense will come out for the 2nd half.
And it might!  But so far, I really like way things have gone.

And great second quarter (minus the squib KO with 6 seconds left, ugh).  Wonderful reverse play and pass to Baker at 3rd and goal.  Stunning.

I really like the Georgia HC.  He’s way into it, very active, almost like a 12th player on the field.  But so far Riley and co have got him/them beat by a step.

Gotta keep the mo going to start the 3rd.

Go OU!
