A&M v OU and Tech v Okie St thread
Posted by HenryJames on November 14th, 2009 under Football
This will be the first look at A&M in weeks for some of us because their games somehow don’t end up on television. D’oh.
What will OU’s offensive line look like? Is it illegal to only have four offensive linemen on the field at a time?
Tech gets their injured quarterback…back. I can’t remember his name, but he’s from Pflugerville. Not that it means anything.
Mike Gundy will try to keep OSU from dropping two of their last three. 10-2 is the goal.

I could not agree more about the subject. You have to make the pass go somewhere else than the offense wants. If you can’t stop that, you have to change the angle of the pass. Anything to throw them off.
I said after Laettner’s shot and pretty much ever since, that guarding the inbounder should be

This seems a decent preview for how the Aggies will look against our defense. Jerrod Johnson deserves to have played for a better program. Their receivers don’t frighten me at all. Neither does their running game. But Johnson is good.
