This weekend, the Odyssey will make like an Okie from Muskogee!
After watching tonight’s Memphis game at Tulsa, we take the short trip West on Route 412 to Stillwater. BEDLAM!! College Football Gameday! We rarely go to the same games as Pretty Boy Kirk & Company, so this is pretty exceptional.
What the two games are expected to have in common is lots of scoring. The over/under for Memphis is 79 and for Bedlam is 76.
If you analyze these two teams for all games but one, the home Cowboys rate to be the favorite because they play some defense. In most games this year, the Sooners D has been very average. However, we cannot get the second half of the game at Ohio State out of our mind where OU was totally lights out against a terrific Buckeye squad and actually played some excellent defense against the same JT Barrett who torched Penn State last Saturday.
Oklahoma State has also had a half of utter perfection against Pitt. Okie State’s QB, Mason Rudolph, had stats that are still difficult to believe against the Panthers: 32 passes attempted, 23 complete for 497 yards. Still, he may not prove to be the best quarterback on the field, as the Sooners have cocky, swashbuckling Baker Mayfield at the helm. Mayfield may wind up doing the unprecedented in 2017: Being a 3-time Heisman finalist.
This shapes up as one of the great Bedlam games of ALL time! We guess that Mason Rudolph will finish his career the same way he started as a Freshman: with a victory over hated OU: But we would definitely not take that notion to the bank.
