Good News, or Bad??

It would be much better for us to get the win with him healthy and playing. This will put an * next to the win. Probably won't help us much with the playoffs.
Crap,, that means we get to hear how we beat a team with their backup qb. TCU probably did not want him to play because it would save face if we beat them, No, I am sure he is hurt. Oh well.
First, we have to clear the swamp of the Alligators. I don't even want to think what our stock would do if they beat us without him...
Now running on ESPN, states that he has not been ruled out COMPLETELY................not starting, is this a trick.
Boykin not starting isn't OU's playoff problem. Losing to Texas is the problem. Enjoy the ride to another Big XII Championship. I know I am.
Even if Boykin plays, if he isn't well enough to be effective, an OU win may not be viewed well in the eyes of the committee. Think OU without Baker Mayfield able to rush, scramble or extend plays. The Sooners need to pour it on offensively and shut down TCU's offense. Show no mercy and leave no doubt.
Just win baby.

I concur with the last 2 posts. Just win!! I have always believed OU will need teams ahead of them to lose to get into the playoffs anyways. So OU just needs to win and see if everything else falls in place.

This is new, uncharted territory for me anyway.
In the good old days we'd be elated to hear our foes Heisman caliber QB isn't starting due to injury.
Now, we have to lament that?
Man, it's enough to cause cerebral whiplash...

I agree.
If OU wins out and the don't make it in, they don't have anybody to blame but themselves. That TX loss was a bad deal all around.
But, I think some people here in OK are underestimating the national level of respect for the OU name. And, I have a gut feeling that if OU wins today, and next week, there will be enough chaos in front of them, that the committee will take the opportunity to give the Sooners the nod..
I could be wrong, but that's my humble opinion.

Sounds good, in theory...Just hope there are enough 'Old Timers' to remember the Glory Days of Sooner Football, and hope that counts for SOMETHING!

Yep, there's that, and the little miracle I'm hoping for...that is Notre Dame falling down at Stanford next week I believe.
We're SO close!
Section22 gets it. Our problem is our annual "how could this possibly happen?" loss. This year Texas.
Pla
Plaino, Standford is not OU's only hope MSU, Michigan, Iowa, Florida, north Carolina state. If just one of the top four drop a game OU is in.
It won't hurt us. I believe by the end of the game, the Baker Mayfield story will be the headlines and as such, everyone will be scurrying about to cover him and his Heisman run.
NICE!!! I just got home from hunting and saw that Ohio State lost. PERFECT!!!!
That makes you 2 Drinks behind, BR...Better play 'Catch Up'...

Well, that may well be our downfall, but, considering all the possibilities still in front of us, we'd be cheating ourselves to limit those same possibilities.
Like Stoops said, OU is the the Ohio State of 2015...you got to believe...
