Is it too much to say this game is our season? It certainly is supremely critical to our hopes of repeating as conference champs. My impression on scant evidence is that we are still on the event horizon for the playoffs, as well.
I'm thinking this game is about our O vs their D. I believe our D will keep them at or below their season scoring average. Therefore, if we can get within two TD's of ours, we win.
Au cours (#PrayForParis):
-O/U on sacks by OSU at 3.5 (their per-game average)-UNDER (our average given-up is 1.1 and I still believe in our O-Line)
-O/U on sacks by Ogbah at 1.55 (his per-game average)-UNDER (see above)
-O/U on INT's by #TungstenStidham at 1.5-UNDER (he's learning fast and the game slows down for him this week)
Tiebreakers:
-O/U on combined TD's (rushing and passing) by Stidham, Linwood, and Chafin at 4.5-OVER (I think we get at least 5 from this bunch)
-O/U on #TeamCoCo TD's, any variety, at 1.5-OVER (res ipsa loquitur)
-O/U on Shock's rushing yards 103 (what OU held him to)-OVER (it's time for championship-caliber football, and Shock Linwood is the #LeadDog)
I feel better about this game than I did about last week, frankly. Still nervous, though. Wish I could be there. Gotta pay for that Sailgate, though.
Sic 'Em , BEARS!!!
