Sooner Schooner........

After deliberating all morning over today's Oklahoma-Texas matchup, I could not convince myself that last week's effort (or lack thereof) against UCLA, was an anomaly. In fact, despite possessing a ton of athletic ability, this Longhorn team is young and will experience some growing pains. While a blowout at home last week was more than just a hiccup, I expect to see a more spirited effort today.

Oklahoma has struggled in several of their early season contests, however they did blowout Florida State and coach Stoops has had trouble over the past five years against Mack Brown's clubs. My initial response upon seeing the line @ Oklahome 3.5 was: "this should be 5.5". As much as people are predicting a bounceback effort from Texas, I think this seasoned Sooner team is a touchdown better. Barring excessive turnovers, I am expecting a sooners win and cover. The Release....Sooners -3.5 over Texas.
