Polls relatively meaningless for DAWGS this week. Anything short of beating Texas, drops the DAWGS chances of making the 12 team playoff to single digit percentages.
And our DAWGS must play their best game of the year to have a chance of beating Texas. Defense needs a minimum of a 3 turnover advantage, 9 or 10 more havoc plays and DBs knowing exactly where the ball is and making plays on it for a win to be possible.

OU fumbled three straight possessions to lose the game to TX..I don’t think we need a huge turnover advantage to win..just play D like we know how..

A minimum of 3 TO for this team would be a huge turnaround, I wouldn't get your hopes up. I do think the Dawgs will be competitive and in it late.

Our D has not looked dominant at all lately. Texas could easily be another Bama game without the big comeback. Bama has shown themselves to not be a special team this year and that is a poor commentary on how we looked against them.

I think there is less depth across the board with many teams, due to the portal..no doubt, the D needs to step up.
Don’t be thinking OU is a good team.
