Yeah, you, so you got Alabama and Oklahoma. Oklahoma really good defense. Alabama not able to really establish the run all season. You have a quarterback potentially that could be injured. Where are you leaning on this, this game, because this is the feeder to Indiana and their, their first game. Yeah, it's like it's a great way to start the college football playoff on a Friday night, a rematch of a game we saw just over a month ago in Tuscaloos. So that Oklahoma won outright as the underdog because they forced 3 turnovers resulting in 17 points, including that pick 6 for Eli Bowen and that OU defense. You guys have heard me say this constantly throughout the season. I'm incredibly high on this Sooners defense led by Brent Venables because of the production from last year in 2024 and what they have replicated here in 2025. Top 10 scoring defense, top five rushing defense, and schlegs, you hit the nail on the head. Alabama's lack of uh uh of a dynamic offense of a two-fold offense. Their inability to run the football this year has been astounding. 116 rushing yards per game. You can't even find in the historical stats and trends when Alabama last averaged just 116 yards per game. Doesn't matter if it was year one under Kaylin DeBoer or of course, in the 17-year run under Nick Saban. And that That really hurts a guy like Ty Simpson against this Oklahoma defense that in that regular season matchup in Brian Denny, OU had 4 sacks, 5 TFLs under constant pressure for Ty Simpson, 4 of his 5 INTs this year in the last 3 games for Alabama, including against Oklahoma. A lot of public money on OU, but a lot of the sharp money on Alabama and the over. A lot of people. Picking this game is a slugfest built on the defensive side of the ball, the sharp wise guy money, if you will, kind of thinking the exact opposite. It is one of those unique spots. Eileen, Oklahoma, winning this game outright now at home in Norman, but the reason that it would not happen is because Oklahoma's offense continues to be stagnant. We talked about Ty Simpson, John Mattir just has not been the same since injuring that right thumb. Uh, before we take a break here, you start talking about this thing being a slugfest. I wanna say I saw the point total in the low 40s. Uh, Ben, I mean, reminiscent almost of a Cyhawk battle with just this offensive, uh, this lack of offensive output. I know like Ty Simpson, he has the potential. He's been good at times. Johnny Mattier. Really good first four weeks of the season. Early Heisman, a favorite after the thumb surgery, not as good. Are you leaning? Do you think that that could be an over? I mean, I know his defense big time the first game, because, uh, his 41.5 is what we're seeing on FanDuel. Do you, do you like the over or potentially the under on that? 40.5 for most of the last two weeks, Bobby. So you're starting to see some of that buyback perhaps because of. Large money coming in from the Sharps on the over, not the way the public is thinking about this game, expecting it to be defense first. We are not talking about a monumental total by any means. I would probably lean somewhere right around there. I don't think we get into the 50s or mid-50s, if anything, into the high 40s over this number of 40. I really do wonder how the time off for Oklahoma offensively. For John Matier starting to find his groove. The only time we saw John Matier in his final 7 games of the year, put up more than 250 yards of total offense was in the finale against LSU. 318 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, but 3 INTs. Oklahoma is going to have to be good on the offensive side against an Alabama defense that really improved against the run in the final month and a half of the regular season.
