Three Thoughts

• Tune into tonight’s game against the Sooners – it has potential to be an all-timer. Here’s all the details you need. OSU has now passed OU with the best odds to win the Big 12 title!

• Love this bowl prediction – Brett McMurphy (Action Network) has the Pokes in the Cotton Bowl, just the ideal playoff scenario for the Pokes.

Now – he has the Pokes playing Ohio State, maybe the strongest offense in the country, assuming they prove that against Michigan today. Brutal.

• Feels like I say this daily but I love this breakdown of Bedlam:

Here’s how I see it: We have reached the point it doesn’t matter who OSU defends, that team isn’t going to reach 20 points. Caleb Williams and the Sooners included.

So can OSU’s offense get to 20 by doing what it has done all season — handing off to Jaylen Warren and the running backs and asking Spencer Sanders to be a high-percentage, low-risk complementary quarterback?

Driving to Lubbock with some good buddies a week ago and had this point of clarity – the 2021 OSU defense is inevitable in the same way the 2011 Cowboy offense was.

Two Quotes

• Jim Knowles on the secret sauce – relentless dudes.

Mike Gundy has been concerned all fall about a "let down" game from Oklahoma State's third-ranked defense. With DC Jim Knowles at the wheel, that hasn't happened yet.

“We’ve got maturity. We have guys who refuse to let down," Knowles said.

• I’m still flummoxed from this reality earlier in the week – OSU legitimately has one of the best offenses in the Big 12:

How would America be different if fathers knew the that primary way boys learn impulse control, empathy, & delayed gratification was through dad/son roughhousing grades k-12 (esp, teen years). Roughhoused boys struggle less later on w/addictions & are more kind. #dadsmatter
