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.

While disappointed in finish of this Red River Showdown, great game.  Plus Herbie time is done for the day so we have that going for us, which is nice.

Yes, it must have been great being down 21 points in the first quarter.  Since you previously noted that "If Harbs has changed JJ will be in and we might save this season", you can always root for Michigan to be in a similar hole.  Or, I don't know, enjoy being 5-0 and never trailing in a game so far.

I am not a fan of the local team here in Austin, and I sorted of enjoyed the game today.  OTOH if we ever had a twin school as far as the football Hurt Boat goes, its Texas.  If our 2016, 2017, and 2018 game against tOSU had a baby, this game would be it.
