Noon games, feature game Oklahoma at Texas

This should be the good one, Oklahoma is favored:

 

 

But Texas is quickly improving. Steve Sarkisian hired a very good staff of coaches. Has his DC Pete Kwiatkowski done enough in the first 5 games to be ready for Oklahoma's offense? In previous years I'd give an automatic no. But Oklahoma is not like they've been in recent years. They are vulnerable. I mean, they struggled with Nebraska and and worse with West Virginia. Oklahoma fans have been clamoring for QB Spencer Rattler to be replaced. By Oklahoma standards he has been underwhelming. Texas' offense is starting to look exciting. And the game is at Texas. They just might pull it off.

 

Noon also has State at Rutgers, and Maryland at Ohio St. State has a bad defense, so Rutgers might give it a run, or I'm hoping they do. I have zero hope in Maryland. I never believed the hype to begin with. They had that exciting 20-17 win over Illinois. How could I not have gotten on that hype train before the Ohio St game!

 

Arkansas at Ole Miss, South Carolina at Tennessee, West Virginia at Baylor, and Northern Illinois at Toledo might be fairly good games. QB Hendon Hooker at Tennessee is turning out to be pretty decent. The offense moves, and scores, with him in.

Isn't this where the obligatory 'Xavier Worthy' thread should be?  I mean, two recent posts highlighting this OU-UT game, and not one mention of Worthy - and he even got Game Day exposure a few minutes ago!!!

The funny thing about him, is he doesn't play like a true freshman. His play looks more like a more experienced junior. He must be hitting it off well with Steve Sarkasian and WRs coach Andre Coleman. Sarkisian really did put together a great coaching staff.

This 10 minute video is a background on all of them:

Well, it's in Texas. In 2016 LSU played Wisconsin in a neutral sight, Green Bay. It was probably more of a home field advantage for Wisconsin at Green Bay than at Madison. But maybe there is some neutrality at this field for Oklahoma.

Very nice TFL for Rutgers on 3rd dowb, on the first State drive, State goes for the fake on the field goal, and doesn't get it. GO RUTGERS!!!

The OU-Texas game at the Cotton Bowl is a great tradition, but I would hate to pull the biggest rivalry game off campus every year. If you had to schedule a Michigan game to have at a neutral site, which would it be? Obviously not Ohio State or MSU. Maybe a Brown Jug game in the fancy new stadium in Minneapolis? They played in the Metrodome for 30 years, so it's not like there is much tradition of playing at the new university stadium. Or, an out of conference game with a home-road-neutral setup?

That was an embarrassing play by Texas- guys falling off the RB. Standard Big 12 defense. 
   It’ll be interesting to see the no defense/all offense philosophy go to the SEC
