That 2004 Horn team was 12-1, but OU shut them out in Dallas. And it would have been worse than 12-0 if we'd had replay back then. Their mike linebacker got credit for an interception on a ball that clearly bounced and he made a long return. We were inside their 30 going in. OUr defense had some challenges that year, but shut down a young Vince Young, later of superman status.
We lost OUr starting quarterback for idiocy in 2006, moved a receiver with great leadership skills back to quarterback and won the conference. Had a great group in 2007 and 08, but had to play the bowl games missing a bunch of key players in both for various reasons. WVU embarrassed us in the 2007 Fiesta, but they were undefeated with their quarterback healthy and were really good. Then we had to play Tebow's Florida team for the NC in their home state, playing a middle linebacker who was third team most of the year and who'd hardly ever played in a D1 game. And with Demarco Murray hurt and unable to play.
Who you got that day, makes a difference. In 2007, we beat MIzzou badly twice, when a CCG win would have put them in the NC game.
