Let’s Talk About Georgia/Oklahoma

A full month with the Heisman hype, has killed many a good QB in post season bowls. If they totally bank on Mayfield you better know Kirby will key on him. They better be real balanced or SEC caliber D will expose OU and fast. I just do not see OU tearing up UGA D. Kirby has had a month to prepare, and he has been taught by the best on how to do it. I think Mayfield will see the best D he has ever seen. This kid will either win it or lose it on his play. If Kirby holds him in check OU falls hard.

The two camps are - UGA destroys OU due to SEC D and strong running game while OU has poor rushing D -OR- OU destroys UGA due to high octane offense and OU will key on UGA running game making UGA frosh QB to make plays.

While I can see both sides of the argument all I can ascertain is that IF OU starts out fast then UGA is in trouble. But if UGA can methodically move the chains rushing the ball then it will be a long day for OU. Either way it will be very interesting to see the play unfold in the game and hopefully it will not be a blow out...which it very well could be for either team depending on who comes to play for a title.

So, I'm watching the Okie State vs Va Tech game and I'm trying to figure out how in the world this offense put up half a hundred on the vaunted Oklahoma defense...

This game is a good test to see what happens when offense meets defense. Okie State has the #2 offense vs. Va. Tech #10 defense. The offense is winning so far.

I'm not sure what point you think you're making here, however...

This is the number three team in the Big 12 with supposedly one of the best offenses in the country versus the number four team in the ACC that's missing its leading rusher, leading receiver, starting left tackle, and a couple of defensive starters lost for the year earlier in the season.

The Pokes should be blowing the Hokies off of the field, not struggling to put the game away.

Now, Selma, you know better than to go trying to insert factual context into a good, emotional argument!

Believe it or not, Oklahoma has about 55,646 miles of shoreline, which is pretty impressive considering it's smack dab in the middle of the contiguous U.S.

Oklahoma was once found near the equator, and was a hot and dry place — during the Triassic Period (206 to 248 million years ago).

You have an Oklahoman to thank for voice mail (you know, that thing your mom keeps leaving messages on but you never check?). Tulsa native Gordon Matthews invented an electronic message system that stored audio messages, which was patented in 1982.

Oklahoma City is one of only two capital cities to include the state’s name. The other capital? Indianapolis, Ind.

The Saurophaganax maximus is Oklahoma’s official state fossil. A fossil of one was first found in the early 1930s in Cimarron County, and a reconstructed skeleton can be seen at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History

Guthrie was once home to the National Lighter Museum, which had 30,000 pieces on display. The museum closed in 2003 after a zoning dispute.

The first yield sign was invented by Clinton Riggs and Paul Rice. Riggs was a Tulsa police officer.

The first tornado warning and the first official tornado forecast in the United States happened in 1948 at Tinker Air Force Base. The base was struck by two powerful twisters within a span of five days, March 20-25.

It’s true: Oklahoma has an official state meal. The year was 1988 and, apparently, everyone was hungry, because the state meal consists of: fried okra, squash, cornbread, barbecue pork, biscuits, sausage and gravy, grits, corn, strawberries, chicken fried steak, pecan pie, and black-eyed peas. Just how many calories is that? If you ate the average serving size of each item listed, you'd consume about 2,200 calories. And about 260 grams of carbohydrates, 90 grams of fat, 70 grams of protein and 3,700 milligrams of sodium.

Have watched a lot of video the last 24 hrs of both Georgia D and the Sooner O. More convinced than ever this could be an OU rout. OU uses a ton of misdirection and so many weapons on O pretty much forces the D to focus on the one that it thinks will hurt them the least. Roquan Smith is very good but he did get beat badly at times and was out of position a lot against Mizzou and Auburn part 1. Interestingly also I thought was that he and Mayfield ( who I assume that RS will be spying) are almost the exact same height and weight.

Both ND and the barn showed that the vaunted dawg run game with Michel/Chubb can be slowed down. OU D is used to playing a lot of snaps and I think will perform better than has been expected by most on here.
