Texas / OU

So I hear that there's some college football game coming up this weekend? In Dallas?

Seriously, I really want to beat OU this weekend. Somehow this game has always felt like a slight road game for Texas lately. It seems like OU is more ready to get their fans more fired up, seem to be hitting harder, etc. Hell, this game is in OUR state, and our fans need to act like it.

Here are Eric's Keys to Beating OU:

1) Can Texas get pressure on and sack Bradford?
In last few losses to OU (and A&M for that matter), Texas has not been the aggressor physically. We need to come out HITTING and lay the lumber to the Okies. Bradford needs needs to begin to fear Orakpo's footsteps comin'! Make the sooners realize early that they're in for a tough one.

2) Can Texas establish the run?
Texas O-line will need to prove they can move the ball, push Oklahoma back, and keep OU defense "honest". Texas offense can't be one-dimensional. If we just try to throw and OU d-line can just pin ears back and go for sacks of McCoy, UT is probably screwed. Hopefully McCoy can channel Peter Gardere or Major Applewhite instead of Chris Simms...

Statesman says that the key to the game is neither of the two things above. See here.

Man, how cool would it be if Texas came out and laid a 63-14 type whippin' on them like OU did to Texas a few years ago? Well, a guy can dream...

It's 3:07pm, and OU STILL SUCKS!
