Yeah, I’m thinking a close, low/scoring game in OU/Michigan. Despite all the focus on the QBs, I think both teams are going to do everything in their power to not have this game be decided by QB play. If Venables gets to put Underwood in a blender in obvious passing situations, that’s the ballgame. If it comes down to Mateer just freelancing, trying to make things happen by himself against Michigan’s defense, that’s the ballgame, too. This game could easily be 6-3 or something at halftime, as both teams try to ESTABLISH IT~!!! and not make killer mistakes early.
And I gotta tell ya, Oklahoma did not look impressive in their ability to ESTABLISH IT~!!! against an FCS opponent last week. I’ve really found myself liking Michigan more and more as the game has gotten closer.
