I have a feeling that defense they are hanging their hat on isn't as good as they think.

I agree. They are improved from 77th last year, no doubt. But are they a top 20 defense? Probably more like 40-45. But they need to be a top 20 D with that schedule against the five best offensive minds in the SEC. 

That is nuts.  There is no team (including the Longhorns) that would run that gauntlet undefeated.  Georgia would probably drop two.  

.....just brutal.

 

edit- this may set their program back for years.  What a gift.

Look at God 

I’ll be interested to see how Tennessee performs vs OU.  I have no doubt OU will probably lose…but by how much?  Tennessee clearly has the better offense, and I think Tennessee will know how to handle Venables defense, given who Tennessee’s head coach is.

How many games do y’all think they will win over that stretch ? I say 1 win

Guess this makes up for the easy schedule OU had last year before joining the SEC…

It’ll give us some interesting game tape to study.

I think Tennessee will smash them.

 

BUT it will be interesting to see what Tennessee looks like against an actual big-boy team.

Tennessee

Texas (N)

Ole Miss 

Alabama 

@ Missouri

Toss ups:

South Carolina

@ LSU

@ Auburn 

The criminals decommit list will start adding up with the losses. This is why Venables was pushing hard for all those early commits. It's going to get ugly real quick for Venables and Arnold if they get boat raced by Tennessee.

Nothing makes me happier knowing how rough OU is going to have it maybe their fans won't have much to say 😁

Geez, it almost makes you sympathetic. Sorry, lost my mind for a moment 

F em 

I have a feeling they’ll probably beat Mizzou of these teams. From what all 6 programs have put on film, Mizzou looks like worst of the 6 (even worse than OU). OU’s a better team than BC, and Mizzou didn’t look phenomenal vs BC. 

This Tenn. and OU game is interesting to me. I think it comes down to Tenn. OL vs. Oklahoma’s D Line. I don’t think Nico can beat Brent’s defense by himself. Does OU get this to look like a Kentucky vs. Georgia game. I would love to see OU finish 5 - 7.

Criminal interlopers about to start getting what they really deserve for the first time in about twenty-eight years.

There’s a reason why Tennessee hasn’t given up many points so far—they have a pretty balanced team—including a very good defense.  Which makes this game very intriguing to watch…I think this game will give Texas an idea how OU is this season 

Longhorns can score 30 on anyone. Criminals can't score more than ten on a good defense.
