Pick the score: Alabama vs. Oklahoma

We might win by 39 but by golly I’ll climb up on my roof and dance naked if we score 70 and beat them by that much.
I feel like this game will be a little lower scoring than what everyone is predicting.
38-24 Bama.
Our offense probably won’t do as good as everyone thinks and our defense probably won’t do as bad.
This is a good OU offense but as far as OU teams go the last 20 years, this “team” isn’t even probably top 5 talent wise.
We’re getting carried by Kyler Murray who is surrounded with a good line and some weapons on the outside.
If Hollywood Brown can’t play we are in serious trouble.
Bama is just a better team imo. I didn’t expect my Sooners to get here so at this point we’re just playing with house money.
Maybe Bama turns it over and finds themselves in a game they don’t want to be in. I think that’s my only hope.

Absolutely - I love his aggressiveness, but when everyone downfield if covered and you have a 5* RB in the flat uncovered, drop it off and enjoy the result (which likely includes not taking an extra hit)...
When push comes to shove, you just can't pick the Sooners to lose. Can't blame you.
My thinking exactly. Statistically their D may be worse than the piggies. Their O is obviously better, but as long as Tua is healthy I wouldn't be surprised to see us up by something like 35-14 at the half, and end up hanging 60 on them, while Id doubt they can get out of the 30s. Could be another fourth quarter on the bench for Tua, this time for nice reasons.:smile:
I’ve seen quite a few games that were supposed to be offensive explosions surprise by better than expected D. Think we might have that here so I’m going 39-20 with our D doing most of the shutting down!
Anyone watch the Army vs. Houston game? These type of offenses are fun and gun until a disciplined defense steps up and the playstation playcalling stops working. OU has one real way to beat Bama. Bama can adapt to the need for the game and still be just as lethal. It may very well start fast like the Rose Bowl did last year, but it sure won't stay that way. This Sooners defense is just atrocious. I've been watching tape and it's really really worse than any defense Bama played this year. KM has ZERO margin for error.
Jess has put his prediction on the game in the stickies above. Sounds about right to me. I'll take it! RTR.
