This game may hinge on Texas jumping out to an early lead--which we have done superbly all season. OU playing from a 10-14 point deficit early is exactly how we'd like it to play out. I don't want any early lead for OU that gives them belief that they can win. Collin Simmons getting a couple early hits on Hawkins would be huge.
I will reserve belief in our D as an elite unit until after this game, and after we play UGA. If we are as good as our stats say we are after playing Beck and the Dawgs, I will be convinced we're headed for the SEC Championship game. And I pity the Def coordinators who have to figure out how to cover our receivers. I think our running game will be fine with the 3 healthy backs.
