Just saying.....
Good points, it has just always fascinated me how so many of these games are won between the ears. It would appear that OU has everything to play for and WVU would be in pits having lost their coach. Not saying that its going to happen, just that WVU may find a spark and come out flying.
I agree though that barring something like that happening, OU seems to have it all over WVU, the speed on defense to slow down the read option and the balance and power on offense to take advantage of WVU's scheme.
I'm sure Stoops is reminding his players about Boise last year and about how UGa came out flat againgst WVU a few years back. Just sayin there always seems to be a game or two come bowl season where unforeseen magic happens.

Stoops pulls Granger from Fiesta Bowl following arrest

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Oklahoma starting defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger will miss the Fiesta Bowl after being sent home from Arizona following an arrest for shoplifting.
Granger, 21, was arrested Saturday in Tempe after he tried to steal a jacket from the Burlington Coat Factory inside Arizona Mills Mall, Tempe police reported.
"Mr. Granger removed an anti-theft device from a jacket and then concealed the jacket in a bag. He exited the store walking past the cash registers without paying for the jacket," Mike Horn, a spokesman for the Tempe Police Department, said in a statement.
Granger admitted committing the offense and was booked into the Tempe City Jail on one count of shoplifting, Horn said. He later bonded out of jail.

Wow, just wow, what in the world was going through this kids head? I am completely ignorant about what it is like as a big time athlete, let alone one on a bowl trip, but it amazes me that a player in the spotlight, let alone a starter would have such poor decision making as to have done this. Wonder if this says anything about OU's mindset and intensity level headed into the Fiesta bowl.
