Assume both teams are 100% healthy and each team has 2-3 weeks to prepare.
I absolutely love the 2003 Defense. Probably my favorite of the Stoops era, but in this case, I'd have to lean with the 2008 team. 2003 offense was missing elite guys at RB and TE that might be an issue. Works, Jones, Donley, and Moses were solid players, but they weren't exactly game changers the way DeMarco and Gresham were. 2008 Defense was pretty good when healthy (i.e. when Ryan Reynolds wasn't hurt) and I could absolutely see them giving the 2003 offense all they wanted. On the flip side, the 2008 offense was pretty much all you could ask for. Every position group had elite talent, and was just unrelenting when they had it going. Could the '03 D hold it down?
Let's hear it.
