The Sooners will not be able to stop Johnny Manziel or compete with the speed of the Aggies. Texas A & M wins big-time.

Heisman winners have traditionally struggled in bowl games the year they win it. The Sooners are a damn good football team, only two losses came to #1 and #5.

OU: 45
TAMU: 41

Yeah, TAMU is only one year removed from the Big 12. They didn't magically convert their entire roster over one off-season to athletes just superior to what Oklahoma has.

The A&M offense is vastly improved in 1 year removed from the Big 12. The defense however, not so much. The closest offense to the Sooners that A&M has seen is La Tech and they gave up 57 points, albeit in a letdown spot.

1 thing for sure, this will be a high scoring shoot out. Keys for me, Landry Jones not turning the ball over. If either team can string together 2 or 3 defensive stops, they will have a chance to win, otherwise, might be the last team with the football.

This one I will look forward to. Should be a lot of scoring. Who gets the ball last is the winner.

A&M got a lot faster at QB over the offseason, but overall, OU still has better athletes.

Sorry but A&M has a defense with somewhat of a pulse. OU has had zero defense these past few games.

A&M has had only 1 game where there opponent got over 30 points. They also have the more potent offense

A&M wins by at least 2 touchdowns

OU played 4 of the top 7 passing offenses in the country, A&M played 1 and got lit up. So we don't have that much to compare. When OU played running teams, their defense did much better. My point is, neither team can stop the pass worth a damn, and A&M has only played 1 team that spreads the ball all over the field. This is no 2 TD game. Last with the ball wins.

Oh and you said A&M only had 1 game allowing over 30 points? That was the only passing offense they played in the top 15 and they gave up 450 passing yards (615 total) and 57 points
