So, is this assuming TUA or JALEN is the QB?

Essentially saying that either will dominate what the Sooners call defense.

Vegas gave those lines but they list Tua as ?. We may not know until close to game time if Tua is really ready to go. Saban may want to keep OU guessing. I guess Vegas wants action so they can't wait until they know before posting lines.

I'd keep it really under wraps and keep them guessing all the way to game time. Not a lot of film on Jalen and his new-found passing ability, but he did run his QB draw play that always worked so well.

I think Jalen can win it again for us. He'd love a chance to play Clemson again.

Jalen beat Clemson last year. He is very capable

It’s like we still forget about Jalen.

Yes, he did. But I was referring to a game for all the marbles.

Hopefully with the month off Tua can go. Not sure about Oklahoma's pass rush but it can't be as good as Georgia's. We will have to score a lot to beat Oklahoma. Hopefully it won't be as bad as the Rose Bowl game last yea.

I don't have the memory for stats and games that you fellows do, but have we played Murray when he was a aTm? Who was the one that Jonathan Allen made the flying leap to sack?

We played Kyler Murray but his stats weren't that great. I think he split time with Kyle Allen in that game. Not sure. Jonathan Allen superman sack was to Trevor Knight when he was at Texas AM.

Murray didn’t do much against us in 2015. I only remember him throwing one pass that was intercepted by Eddie Jackson.

And anyone paying attention realizes he’s improved tremendously over last year.
I wouldn’t be bothered if Tua couldn’t come back (other than worrying about Mac backing up JH). I think JH could win both remaining games.
The guy ain’t nothing but a winner. Yesterday proved it.
