I posted it elsewhere, but I think we've averaged giving up 37+ points in each of our last 4 bowl games. We face a competent O in any bowl game, I don't see that trend changing.
Winning the Big XII this year is fool's gold. The conference gets mocked every time its brought up on TV this year.
But let's see how badly our D gets shredded by oSu, UWV and BU first, before we count on a conference trophy, shall we?
We're giving up 32+ points per game this year, including only a total of 20 points to the state of Kansas and 17 to ULM.
Throw those games out and we're giving up 44+ per game.
With the offense we have run for years, giving up 37 ppg is not necessarily a loss.
Over that same 4 year period, OU has averaged scoring 46, 39, 31, 38 Avg PPG, while scoring in the bowl games: 17, 6, 45, 13.
You can put as much blame on the offense as on the defense for our post-season failures.
While winning the B12 this year may be fool's gold, it is much better than NOT winning the B12 - a distinction that will be shared by 9 teams.
While our defense may or may not get shredded the last three games, that won't necessarily mean losses with the offense we are capable of putting on the field.
The Houston game and Ohio State games are history. Lots of mistakes made there.
But, you can either quit on the team and wait until next year, hoping for better results.
Or you can enjoy the rest of this year and pull for the Sooners to be the best team they can be.
