The problem with looking at the ou games is that the texas teams that you are watching aren't the same as what you will most likely(well hopefully any way) be playing. Mack's nuts shrivel up so tight around the biggining of october that he doesn't even run the same offense. They didn't call one roll out pass the entire game last year. Think about that for a second. The best scrambling qb in the nation is not allowed to break the pocket? Not only did we run the designed qb draw, but we did it EVERY [censored]ING 3RD DOWN!!! regardless of distance. My highschool team could have stopped it. I guess what my whole point boils down to is this. If GD and mac come into the shoe with their panties in a bunch then we lose...plain and simple. If they decide to use the whole playbook then I think we have a good shot at winning. Unfortunatly, mac's history would lead me to be expecting a uber-conservative gameplan.
also when mentioning the 52-0 when out rushing the opponent people always forget to mention the year that we had the amazing rushing of Hodges Mitchell. With all due respect to Hodges Selvin and RT should both be able to duplicate what he did.

Remember LSU's current coach was Okie States coach last year. How does everyone think our Defense ranks with Oklahoma's?? I think we're probably better in run defense but last year we weren't as good in pass coverage. Atleast thats how I feel? How do you guys feel?

I think you might be on crack
. ou's big weakness last year(and the year before that) was defending deep routes. Their rush defense was great. okie state was really nothing more than a slightly above avg team. They ended up 5th place out of 6th in their devision.
