The way Gabriel launches it down field, we got to be crazy to play Crawford in that game. We got to let our front line safeties play the entire game. Kind of wish they got Derek Williams more PT today, he is my ideal pick to play next to Catalon. Don't those other two to keep plays in front of them.

Crawford is supposed to be the more athletic one. Catalon and Thompson have the instincts but lack speed, both are really box safeties masquerading as free safeties at times. If anything we need the DL to eat and not give Gabriel the chance to get those throws off.

I feel you, but OU's offense looked so anemic against SMU & Cincy. UT has a better defense with more talent than those 2 teams, so you'd expect OU's offense in the RRS to revert back to how they looked vs. SMU & Cincy.

I don't think OU felt threatened by any of those teams going into those games. Without a doubt I'm sure they have some stuff saved for the game next weekend. At the same time they haven't played a team as good as us. So ultimately I agree with you.

Texas is trying to continue their 2023 momentum heading into this showdown with Oklahoma. Will Quinn Ewers play consistently and look like he did vs Alabama? Can Dillon Gabriel carry the offense to victory in Dallas?

@Numpsay That Quinn touchdown run is reminder of why I want Sark to recruit QB who are athletic enough to take advantage of designed QB runs.

How accurate is it?

I'm pretty sure that is slanted due to OU running up the score against the garbage they've played.

These computer advanced stats models really like OU.

If both teams play their "A" game, Texas wins.

OU will play like an underdog and pull some tricks out, so UT gotta play smart early and be ready for anything. Run the football and use PA. Ewers needs to be launching it deep to AD and Worthy.

I think Texas' D is the difference in this game. The Bama game was huge for them and I don't think they're gonna be scared or hesitant.

They brought it up on on3 coffee talk this morning. These models put heavy emphasis on score differential.
