What are some prospects to watch for UT-OU game, besides the two quarterbacks? The defenses are supposedly excellent, and yet I dont think I can name a single player.

In an effort to get some activity in the open thread, will be appropriating relevant IRC comments and posting them here. To start:

'I know it's their offense, but the hurry-up might not be the best strategy for Oklahoma in this situation. Shorten the game, given backup QB and lead'

I wonder if Sam Bradford regrets coming back to school for his junior year.

I thought it was a fumble. Calling it a muff is a nice copout for the refs to avoid figuring out if the UT player fumbled before the goal line.

I have to question Colt McCoy's intelligence in coming back to the team where designed quarterback draw is the best running option.

Colt McCoy had a chance to end proceedings. Instead he throws a Mike Teel-esque out pattern that gets picked off. I thought it was a pick-6 but McCoy made the tackle. What the heck is wrong with UT's offense? Was Quan Cosby really that important?

UF/UA

Completely ridiculous penalties that gave Florida the tie in the 4th. First the DPI with the WR holding the DB from behind. Second, the phantom unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on a DL that was being blocked by an O-lineman. Did anyone else see this crap?
