I'll never figure out why Texas has such a hard time finding decent quarterbacks. They haven't had a good one since Vince Young. They basically have their pick of the litter in one of the most talented recruiting areas of the country and they continue to throw junk out there every year it seems.

Anyways, I sorta agree with your pick here. I don't necessarily see OU moving the ball up and down the field at will, but Texas will most certainly have a tough time scoring in this one. That Swoopes guy is no good. He has holes in his game all over the place, but the thing that bothers me the most about him is his pocket presence. He has absolutely 0 instincts when guys are closing in on him. Doesn't know when to step up, doesn't know when to scramble. It looks like he started playing quarterback 2 years ago.

Anyways, good luck with your bet. I didn't look seriously at this game given the line at the time was 14.5, but maybe buying the point is worth considering.
