Bad blood and all, which OU team will show up against Texas Tech Red Raiders?

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

In keeping with the Halloween season the Sooners have come to resemble this classic. How in the world can they look so inept in the Cotton Bowl and so perfect in Manhattan? It’s beyond me.

But everything went OU’s way in dismantling Snyder’s boys in the Little Apple. Offense, defense, players and coaches could do no wrong. It helped a little bit that for some reason the Wildcats came out trying to throw the ball all over the field. First of all, that’s not even remotely their strength. And secondly, did they not watch the tape from OU’s debacle in Dallas? Texas ran all over us. Why would you at least not try that first?

I guess I could understand trying to catch the Sooners off guard, but they know their QB can’t throw the ball. Very strange. And by the middle of the second quarter it was too late to try anything else. Game was over.

Anyway, a great game for the Sooners, which now begs the question, which Oklahoma team shows up to play Texas Tech Saturday afternoon at Owen Field?

I was in the stands at the Kansas game and a few things have become clear to me.

First, any win we get from here on out is just going to be ugly. No getting around that.

And second, the defense is carrying it’s weight.

The offense? Well, I don’t know what the offense is carrying.

Once the defense made adjustments after giving up 13 points, they held Kansas to something like 38 total yards the rest of the way. Yes it’s Kansas, but still impressive.

The offense on the other hand is still struggling. The lack of any downfield passing game is making it harder and harder to put points on the board. Defenses are crowding the box and daring OU to throw downfield.
