Houston + 15 NCAAF
Oh my, right here we have another golden underdog. Oklahoma State will not win this game by 15 points.
Houston's offense is very possibly the best offense in the nation. They bring back all the key players from an offense that shredded every team they played last year. They bring back USA today player of the year QB Keenum, They bring back 7 on the O Line that protected him all year. They bring back their stud RB Beall.
This Offense scored 37 at Ok State last year, it scored 41 + points in 8 out of its 11 games. Houston was the highest scoring team against half its opponents last year. In fact, Houston scored 70 in a 40 point win over a very good Tulsa team, noone else scored more than half that against Tulsa all year.
Air Force held 5 opponents to 10 points or less last year, but Houston scored big on Air Force in both of their games. Including scoring 34 points to win the Air Force bowl. Houston scored in every game, their lowest output all season was 23. This offense is explosive.
Now, Oklahoma State. For some reason, everyone seems to be on this teams jock. In researching this game, I came across the oobg.com, who has said Ok. State will be 11-0 when they play against Oklahoma. All I can say about this team is O V E R R A T E D.
Lets see, Ok state started last year 7-0, but when you dissect that, they didnt really beat anyone during that strecth. The most impressive victroy was a 5 point win against Missouri. Thats a decent win, but Its not that impressive. Then came the Big 12 schedule, and no longer was Ok State playing a cupcake every week. What happened ? Ok. State was a Major disappointment. In fact, it fell apart.
When the schedule got tough, Ok State finished the season 2-4, winning during that stretch against 2 piss ass teams. Ok State lost every real test they had last year. And their defense ? It got exposed every time it played a two dimensional offense. They lost 3 of their last 4 games, and in those 3 losses, they gave up 159 points and lost by an average of 23 points per game.
Oklahome State to me, has been EXPOSED. This team will do great against weak opponents and 1 dimensional offenses like Georgia, but every time they play a strong offense, they get shredded. Houston will have a pretty easy time scoring against the Cowboys.
Houston has been preparing for this game since they started practicing again last month, the Houston coaches have been preparing for Months. Ok. State begins preparing for Houston today.
This is a major letdown game for Oklahoma State. They beat a IMO highly suspect Georgia team, and most would probably think Houston is an easy win. I promise, it wont be. Houston matches up way way way better against Ok. State than Georgia did. Houston has an amazing Offense, 2 dimensional. Strong running game and strong passing game. Ok. State has shown a definite inability to shut this type of offense down. Georgia on the other hand, plays strong defense, looks for turnovers and tries to win on Defense not offense. I cant count how many times I remember Georgia scoring 17 or less.
This is an entirely different game. Houston will score early and often. And right here we have another 15 point favorite, that will be hard pressed to win this game at all. They probably will, but they wont win by 15.
Any Thoughts ?
