    Upset Pick: USC over Bama

  • Mason says:

    1. Over on passing yards, but under on TDs

    6. Baker
    7. Jordan Evans.
    8. Jordan Evans

    10. I want Mixon to return a KO, but I do not think there will be a special teams TD
    11. OU 52-21
    12. USC over Bama. UT over ND.

    I think Baker will have a great game. I think we will exploit the inexperienced UH secondary. Perine/Mixon will have to grind out some yards at first, but once the passing game gets started, the run game will really open up. I think LR will finally use the Andrews mismatch. I’d like to see LR utilize Andrews in the slot and attack the middle of the field. Hopefully our WRs do not get a case of the drops. If so, it may be a long game. Other than that, I think OU has a better team on paper and, barring injuries, should be able to come away with a convincing win.

  • leatherneck1061 says:

    I’d just like to say I don’t buy the Houston hype at all. It’s certainly possible OU could lose just like FSU did by coming in and not taking the Cougars seriously and playing uninspired football. But aside from a couple opponents that UH was able to get up for, most of their schedule last year was against very subpar competition, and many of those they barely won. Add to that the large amount of losses in personnel and the situation for them is worse. I think UH is good but mostly smoke and mirrors. If OU comes in and plays lights-out like they should, I am not even sure this game will be as competitive as people think. Just my 2 cents anyway.

    • Oxibalistic says:

      I’d just like to say I hate all the people who get angry when another team gets a spotlight on them for one year. When it comes to football, Oklahoma is one of the most egotistical teams and I pray that they get their asses kicked as do I bet every other Texas university who hates them does. I will be watching this game with my hands down on the Cougars that finally they can compete on a national level since Keenum played for them.

      • jmshake says:

        We are confident in our team because for as long as there has been college football, Oklahoma has been at or near the top of the sport. Sure there were down years or decades (90s) but we expect OU to win every game because they straight up have the talent to do so. Being a fan of a Texas based team has to suck, so I feel sorry for you Oxi, but go sprew your negativity towards other idiot who share in your views. Also, BOOMER!

      • AgedBill says:

        I think you should give a more dramatic demonstration of your seemingly infantile attitude and just hold your breath until UH wins its first game, which should be just over a week from today or soon thereafter. Here’s looking at you, sonny. 🙂

      • leatherneck1061 says:

        Saying I don’t believe the hype around a program is accurate is certainly not the same as hating or being angry they are getting the spotlight. I have no problem at all with the sports media giving UH some love, and maybe I’m wrong about how good they are. I’m just saying at this point I feel the evidence is very thin. If they come out and prove me wrong, I’ll own that. But I don’t think so. And if you are going to get your panties in a wad so easily, you probably should stick to websites where they only discuss pleasant non-threatening things like teddy bears and puppies.

      • Indy_sooner says:

        “I hate all the people who get angry when another team gets a spotlight on them for one year.” Preaching water and drinking wine? You’d have gotten much further along if you’d coherently stated your piece and defended the merits of your team. Instead, you come across as a petulant child moaning over someone else’s successes. Like your coach says ” That was last year’s team,” it means diddly squat in 2017

      • DCinAZ says:

        I’d worry about Notre Dame if I were you.

    • Daryl says:

      I agree with you that I don’t buy he hype. Though after watching the peach bowl I want give Houston credit. FSU defense was playing very inspired and hard but their offense with a hurt backup and playing a third string QB could not move the ball and the defense just got tired. Houston defense played well but FSU QB situation was terrible.

  • cdzendolet says:

    1. Over for sure; Shake&Bake should have a field day with a brand new secondary – 299.5 pass yards and/or 3.5 total TDs for Baker Mayfield
    2. OU’s leading receiver in the game will be Westbrook with either Andrews or Mixon hot on his heels. I hope Smallwood has at least 50 yards in this game. Looking forward to a big season from him.
    3. Over – 149.5 rush yards combined between Samaje Perine & Joe Mixon. UH’s D-line might be stout and effective early, but as the game goes on, I think both Perine and Mixon end up with over 100 yards each. Mixon maybe in the neighborhood of 175+ all purpose yds.
    4. Who will have more receptions in the game; Joe Mixon or Mark Andrews? Andrews!
    5. Your offensive MVP will be Baker Mayfield.
    6. If OU is to win the game, the offensive MVP needs to be Baker. If Baker can make Houston pay for stacking the box (if they even try that), he opens up the full offense.
    7. Your defensive MVP will be Will Johnson.
    8. If OU is to win the game, the defensive MVP needs to be Obo for being a (hopeful) sack machine.
    9. Over – 1.5 turnovers forced by the OU defense. OU turned Mahomes over, what – 4 times last year? I think the defense can do it to Ward as well.
    10. True – OU will score a special teams TD. Mixon or Baxter take full opportunity to show us their moves and take one to the house.
    11. The final score will be OU 45- 21 UH
    12. Your upset pick from the supposed best opening weekend in the history of CFB is USC over ‘Bama. Hey, it could happen!

    3. Over/under – 149.5 rush yards combined between Same Perine & Joe Mixon: Over, significantly over.

    5. Your offensive MVP will be Baker Mayfield with some other game balls to go around.
    6. If OU is to win the game, the offensive MVP needs to be Baker.
    7. Your defensive MVP will be: Needs to be and will be OBO
    8. If OU is to win the game, the defensive MVP needs to be OBO
    9. Over/under – 1.5 turnovers forced by the OU defense: Over. I”m looking for at least 2.
