This is absolutely hilarious. My bet is he was going to say something like "what everybody thinks he is" or something along those lines. But I could be wayyyy off

I think OU and Bama fans generally see this game the same. Bama is the better team because their defense is significantly better. If we were to bet our life on the game, we'd bet Bama and feel pretty safe about it. However, as OU fans, of course we're going to see things favorably for our team where we can. Do I have confidence our offense can put some points up? Yes - probably in the 30's - 40-45 if we get turnovers or are really on point. Do I think our defense can hold you all to less than 45? I think they *can*, but it is a big ask and not something I'd bank on. I've seen enough good offenses come out rusty in bowl games or get slowed by teams that you wouldn't expect to go into this game with some hope.
Similarly, with those vids of your players above - you all probably look at those and echo their sentiments. They might be spot on and come out and justify their reactions completely. As a sooner fan, I think maybe..just maybe..they're taking us lightly (not overtly, but subconsciously) and we'll see a tighter game than predicted on the field.
At any rate, here is to a well-officiated game where everyone comes out of it healthy!

We need CFB article on Alabama and Oklahoma and the prediction of who will win. Suprised we haven't seen a thread for this.

There is. It was posted earlier this week. That is if you’re talking about the CFN one.
Thanks! I almost never miss a post like this!

Hey man I agree with you 100%. If I was an Oklahoma fan I would have my hopes that the offense would get their usual points and hope that the defense caused some turnovers. You have to hope Alabama comes out rusty, otherwise it could get ugly.
One of my concerns. We showed a tendency to come out flat in the first half, the last few games. That could be unfortunate against a team like OU. Of course, in SECCG, Tua could barely stand on his left leg, from the first series on and it showed. He should have come out earlier...
I thought the same thing, then he hit Waddle for a TD. Still, I believe you are right.
Yes, despite the TD, his accuracy was just a bit off. Also, the WRs weren't getting the ball where they expected it, which, partially at least, led to the drops...
Just surprising with those drops either way. Even Irv fumbled the ball when he caught it one time. That was a strange game for our receivers, all but Waddle just wasn't having that kind of day. It kinda shows you how strong of a group we have with the WRs.
I heard someone talk about how Tua uses his lower body with his throws. It really messes with him with something is off. The line has to block. Definitely don't want one of those Striker moments in this game. From what I remember, we couldn't block him even when he was standing still.

i cannot wait for people to stop implying that tua hasn't been as good lately.
the week before the georgia game, he re wrote the iron bowl record books. he had 400 yards and 6 TD's against a defense a lot better than oklahoma's. he was hurt. period. end of discussion. no one on this planet can throw the ball accurately with an ankle sprain. if the coaches knew thats what happened in the 1st Q im sure that they would have sat him. he was being a great leader and teammate and it almost cost bama the game.
