Another thought for you sips to keep in mind: for the last 9 years in a row the higher ranked team going into this game won. And the last time OU was ranked #1 going into RRSO was 2003. We all know what the score was that year.

I don't have a problem with Colt running the ball by design 4-5 times a game and when necessary on passing plays, but if they think they can ride his running ability past OU they're mistaken. OU's defense is far too fast and physical to let McCoy inflict any real damage, but I think Colt running the ball can and will force OU to stay at home defensively, which will open up other things.

Why? My thoughts are VERY relevant to this thread as it is titled "Red River Shoot-out". Yours are not since this thread is NOT about bowl games.

Don't get this Texas defense confused with those of years past. Under first-year coordinator Will Muschamp, this year's version is noticeably more physical, intense and aggressive than we've seen in recent years. Muschamp employs a 4-3 front and Cover 2 shell as his base alignment, but where he goes from there is anyone's guess.

we are still looking for our stand out back, but hard to establish one as they are interchanged frequently.

I would say something like 80% of teams out there employ that same base defense.

the schemes and shifts he runs from the base defense is why he has been one of the best defensive coordinators in the country. you lack reading comprehension.
