I would want Texas to beat them at full strength 

I don’t care if they’re full strength or having to field an 8 man team of the lame and halt. 
 

OU will happily drop 70 on a depleted Texas squad and loose nary an ounce of sleep over it if the roles were reversed.

 

No quarter asked and none given.

So much this, Mack would back off the pedal where as Stoops rammed it up Mack’s arse every chance he got.

This is football, put in the backups if we’re up big but don’t hamstring them to just 3 runs and a punt.  Let them play.

Mack never got a chance to ram it up Bob Stoops’ whosehewhatsit though. He ran up the score all of those that he could. Bon Stoops had Mack’s number and ate his breakfast and lunch.

He did it once in 2005 against a bad OU team, but he didn’t have a name your score game as OU did so many times against him in the early 2000s and that one utter failure with Ash as QB in 2012 I think.

Yep that’s one area that definitely improved in the program once Mack was gone.  Texas has only lost to OU by double digits one time since 2014 and that was in the 2018 big 12 title game.  Didn’t matter how good OU was or how bad Texas was.  Herman, Strong, and now Sark understand the importance of that game.  They may not always win, but they’re gonna give OU their best shot.  Hope Sark lays it on BV for the third time in four seasons and wins by 30+ again.  This would be Sark’s most impressive win over OU by far if he pulls it off.  But that all comes down to how this offense looks in Gainesville this Saturday.

I doubt our offensive output against Florida is directly correlated with the criminal game. Florida's defense doesn't give up as many explosive plays and is more fundamentally sound, despite all the nonsense you hear about criminal defense. The criminals would not have beaten LSU or Miami on the road.

Doesn't matter who plays QB for the criminals. They can't score more than 17 on our defense.
