I found Tim Albin to be pretty confident and relieved about Rourke's overall health (i.e. not an ACL tear), but I think it's a stretch to say he'll play as of yet. Being able to walk and put weight on it is one thing. Running an offense, running period, etc is a different story. He spent a lot of time talking about CJ and if I had to guess right now he's planning to have CJ under center.
If KR makes it through a couple practices I'll start feeling good about it.
I'm probably in the minority here, but I think with Bangura at his highest confidence maybe ever, and running like one of the best RB in the conference...
Throw in CJ's ability to tuck it and make a big play...
Wigs ability to catch damn near anything in bounds...
I think we can still pull off a big W.
The offense remains pretty dangerous to make a big play at any moment. They may not be the 30th ranked offense in the NCAA without Rourke, but BG's defense is pretty bad... 87th vs the run, 110 vs the pass.. they lead the country in sacks though (via Albin)?? Their offense is also pretty bad, 107th.
BG is clearly dangerous, and can dig into a bag of tricks to explode for a big day - but the previous five weeks they were averaging 10 points a game.
Let's hope we get that BG.
But they're gonna come into the game playing fast and loose. They'll probably take a lot of shots. Throw a lot of blitzes at CJ. They have 6 wins and the ability to make the title game. This is OU's game to lose.
Curious what they set the line. I'm thinking OU -4.5
