They probably won't look past Kansas like they did UCF.
Around the Big 12 Week 8

I don’t think it’s a matter of looking past. The only difference for them is played a G5 schedule except for the whorns and their qb has stayed healthy

Venables D is the old ou, Mike stoops defense. They like to be aggressive, blitz a lot with different guys, and bring their safeties up to stop the short, horizontal passing game. Gash their blitz with the run, and throw it over their heads is always the recipe for beating them. Their corners are questionable but nobody tests them.

I agree they are good but not unbeatable. I would argue that Texas could have easily beat OU had it not been for the late game heroics that probably couldn’t be repeated.
They thumped Iowa state at home but I think it is safe to say that we are alot better than we played Iowa state.
An 11AM game against a 3-3 opponent after a big rivalry win is typically a recipe for players going through the motions. I would imagine getting 18-year-old kids focused for such a game is no easy task.
Well yeah, but Drake Stoops is 32. So what’s your excuse for him?
The 18-year-olds weren’t their problem today. Make excuses as you like though.
You left out the fact this was after a bye. They had an extra week to get it together better, & they squeaked by UCF.
They've had at least one game like this every year, dating back to the Stoops era. A game against a lesser team where they're either lucky to win or lose outright. They happened to be on the winning side this time.
He’s not my elder. F**k him!
I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that they always have one game like they had today, people assume it means they're regressing, and then they roll for the rest of the season.
So you're saying a hangover has never happened after winning a big game?
I’m saying you’re making an excuse, they had an extra week to get past that
They didn't play a good game today, regardless of their players' focus, but I don't necessarily think that it is indicative of what they'll do the rest of the season. They have already proven against Texas that they can step up their game when needed.
We shall see
Texas is also Bama's only loss and has a 6-1 record.

OU plays great in front of 80k friends in Norman. Yes, they can play down to their opponents.
We will find out a lot about Gabriel and OU this coming weekend when they play KU.
Either way, I think bedlam will be fire. It won’t be a walk in the park for OU.
