Sooners need to score early to take fans out of game (and watch for tortillas)

by

davesworrymeterlogoThe victory over Kansas State was one of the most nerve wracking games I have been to recently. We could never really put the game away until the late fourth quarter. So even though the final score did not look it, to me that was a close win.

But that’s all that matters. Now the OU roadshow travels to Lubbock this Saturday to take on pretty boy Kingsbury and his Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Same story this year for Tech. Really good offense, abysmal defense. Although West Virginia was able to virtually stop the Red Raider offense this past Saturday when they only allowed them to score 17 points in a blowout Mountaineer win on Tech’s home field. I hope Mike Stoops is watching that film to try and pick up anything new West Virginia might have thrown at Tech to shut them down.

I wonder if they (Texas Tech fans) will be throwing tortillas at our players this year, or will it be batteries?

If the OU defense can hold Tech to anywhere near 17 points, OU will run them out of the stadium.

The Red Raider defense has no hope against Baker and the boys. Even without Samaje, I would be shocked if the Sooners don’t score at least 40 points on those guys. But as we all know, crazy things happen in Lubbock. It’s a night game so the fans will have had all day to get liquored up which will only add to the hostilities.

I wonder if they will be throwing tortillas at our players this year, or will it be batteries?

And even though Mayfield and Kingsbury have said they have put the whole transfer thing in the past, the fans won’t forget. They will be on Baker from the get go. The Sooners need to score early and take the fans out of the game. And for goodness sake, score late and finish them off.

The Worry Meter is hovering at about 80% this week.

As I said, crazy things happen when we play in Lubbock. Let’s hope for some sanity Saturday night. With all that being said…BOOMER!!!
