I was at that game. I was the only one in the whole stadium wearing Texas gear and OU was playing WV.

Hopefully the days of backup QBs making Heisman campaigns off of us are finally in the past with Boom on board.

Ahhh that just gave me the heebie geebies lol

I think this group of playmakers on their 2-deep from RB, WR, and DB is the most limited I can remember at OU. Including last year. However the OL and DL looks extremely good.  I do think that defense takes a step back at edge rusher this year however.

They think it's their best at all 3 positions. They think they have a top 2 Secondary in the SEC this season. In the board I'm a member on they think every coach is the next great one till he isn't (this year it's Whitten and their RB coach from Notre Dame). They were hyped on Deion Burkes until Sategna was their main guy last year. I think Sategna could fall back down to earth, and either Livingstone, Trell Harris, or the youngster Elijah Thomas will lead the room. Elijah Thomas is the one imo to look out for, if they give him playing time.

Another year of scoreless offense in the cotton bowl? They are doing everything they can to make us believe midteer is so much better now 

You don’t get it man he can squat 500 lbs and throw a jump pass like Spencer Rattler!

That starting D looks salty. That starting O isn't seasoned nearly enough.

No different than the last couple years

It’s worth noting how many seniors / 5th year guys are starting for aggy, particularly on the defense.  I’ve been saying for a while that aggy’s greatest risk is there lack of depth.  

There just isn’t much talent / future difference makers on the depth chart after the front line starters for 2026 (Marco Jones, Aaron Gregory may be exceptions).  I’m assuming Craver goes to the NFL after this season.

This helps to explain why aggy went full Jimbo-NIL mode in this recruiting class to replenish the dearth of young talent in their pipeline. 

What happened to ou center that was injured early in camp? Is that why move was nade from last year OT to Center?

They’ll be much better the last year. Their ol rivaled ours for impotency but they’ll be much better. They have TEs now so we can’t completely ignore them like last year. I’m not a mateer fan but he can play well enough to beat us. Add in Rod’s statistical fact and we simply don’t beat both rivals very often in succession. Also, there’s zero doubt we have been their off season focus. They have to stop this slide. 

From following a long with their practice reports from people posting about it on reddit and other places. I haven't seen anything to indicate that they will be "much better" than last year. I just don't see it.

They'll likely hit the portal hard in the off-season, too.

Scanning those names it's surprising to me how few I recognize from bitter Texas - Oklahoma recruiting battles.  Other than Fasusi and maybe a couple of others I can't remember too many head-to-head recruitments where it came down to us vs them.

We seem to be casting a much wider recruiting net under Sark.
