I can't wait till the Bama homers/SEC homers come out laying the 14,15 whatever the line is gonna be... LMAO
If you think for 1 second I'm not gonna bet on Oklahoma with those 14 points.....
I'm still not 100% sure Bama is gonna win.
Here is a few quick notes on this game....
1) Bama has always struggled with this type of qb.
2) Oklahoma is the best offense maybe ever if anyone has paid attention.
3) Last year all we heard was how Oklahoma hadn't played a SEC defense in Georgia.... who had only given up like 11 points a game.... What happened there??
4) Hello people Tua is not healthy... Don't know why people think this high ankle sprain is just magically gonna go away. 5) What's the over? Who cares... take it.
Bama fans have driven me nuts this year, and hell I am one lol. It seems like any line for bama under 24, they're allllll over it no matter what. I get it, we have a good offense! Bama fans just don't know how to react having this potent of an offense. We are so used to a ground and pound run the clock and throw it in emergencies and this year its just different. Fans had this sense of invincibility this year. I hope the Georgia game changed that for many. Defense this year has been Bama weakness in a sense. After hearing the media blabber about how this may be the best defense in history after shutting out two straight SEC teams I just felt outraged. Yes, they are good and better than a ton of teams out there, but there are so many weak points this year compared to years past, it honestly scares me. Key player on defense in Williams in the DT spot. Other than that you have Mack as a leader in the defense but he is definitely no Reuban Foster, Donta Hightower, etc. etc. I dont see any of these huge difference makers out there with exception of Williams. Theres not our usual Rueban Foster, Minka Fitzmagic, Jonathan Allen, Eddy Jackson, etc. out there this year
To your points:
1. qb play - dead on point. To beat bama, you need typically a combo of 3 things - outstanding passing game, dual threat qb, lose TO margin. OU has two of these three covered without a doubt. Kyler is a problem child for bama on that field. Who is quick enough to stay a spy on him?
2. OU offense best ever - its definitely an opinion. They are stout without any doubt. Glad that the top WR is limited.
3. last year game comparison - spot on. And this Alabama team is extremely similar (especially defense standpoint to GA last year)
4. Tua not healthy - he has not been healthy for several weeks with a knee and ankle issue, and now he has a 2nd ankle issue. He has gotten the job done overall other than GA game, however I can 100% tell he is not spot on with the injuries. Hes just not as mobile any more and his passes have been noticeably not as crisp (behind receivers more and even a few overthrows)
5. over over over - I agree. I like both the team totals over ( i think currently at 46 and 32 ) Only way I see this not happening is Bama does a run game run clock the whole game. I don't see that happening.
Am I nervous? 110%
