" Appearance the Mark Kriegel foxsports.com. And I'm Chris Meyers of down on the field covering -- a different ballgame and you're ready for this one. Given little research which -- like -- once and why -- the numbers of the big twelve -- in these bowl games -- not exactly lighting -- up -- you know I I --"
" Bob stoops knew that they what about the the fall off in offensive numbers certainly as far as scores are concerned. These big twelve schools and took it took some offense it -- the question goes I'd like to know what it is for the other schools of their averages now it turns out. It today. Full school's. A scoring is down just two points from 27 an average of 27 during the regular season to 25. In the Bulls seized. For big twelve schools however the scoring averages are down thirteen points in this comes after a banner offensive year for the big twelve of the of the ten. Top ten scoring schools in the country five of them are big twelve schools including of course Oklahoma fifty points a game which is."
" Justice -- I would I'm surprised by those numbers open but it you know it conference discussion. Media CC gets her reputation -- and -- a lot of people favor Florida in this game and each ticket -- You know I Obama just like the NCA tournament desperately -- and it's about -- you know you certain kind of slow down office and you get into a running game was somebody scoring game and that's what the big twelve turned into. And even Bob stoops of what we wanted to go to hurry up because we are decent practice against it because that's the kind of offense from week so here's the key. Is it and that's why the numbers are are richer or more but I I want to know we you know who who wins out here thank thank goodness we're seeing the old Dixon style of Woody's. But rush him back I'm I'm very thankful for back because they used to be able to the matter who you were how good you where they would change the game and dominate because they were so good there right now I think the athletes are spread out enough from the coaching his. The quality enough across the board that. That is you know when he's matchup occur a big twelve offense versus whatever and does he -- these says it's going to going to depend on the coaching strategy which is why I'm fascinated for Thursday's game."
" I don't think however I don't. I think that Oklahoma can turn this game into you know an arena football great which which is what which is what those big twelve games have been there if thrilling. But when it comes down to be. College football's post season right we've been slowed down -- the scoring slowed down and -- also think that. It's hours quarterbacks concern -- it's been said that. -- it -- the big twelve as as the greatest quarterbacks in the country I think that we you're also going to he has some sort of de facto referendum. On the -- You know did did Sam Bradford deserve to win -- if if Oklahoma wins and indeed yes. He did if not there's going to be a lot of talk about T -- to meet the interest in there that the single most interesting character going into the game. Is TiVo because he does not look. Like any quarterback we have ever seen. Yet meet you go fit."
" Florida. But I I think the Oklahoma defense that doesn't get enough credit urban -- many good point and here but. You know evaluating the quality snaps of that -- on it and the next coverage your run scoring our -- for so he elected -- I think they have speed and -- it will give -- a tougher time and I don't think he has as many offensive weapons around him. At tight end in the receiver that are entirely healthy arm and even -- Murphy coming off his injury. That that I think that that neutralizes them it just a little bit neutralize some."
" Some -- he's Marvin being back is a big deal. And remember that this is that this is a Florida team that they beat Alabama without heart so far I think that you -- I all of our go to the burden of proof. To me that the burden of proof still rests with the Oklahoma."
" Yeah I agree and I think you have to Heisman winners now mean you know 11 the year before usually in these kinds of games we had -- there have been many winning guys over another based. That the guys in what it. He's not perform but here they reach a Heisman winners I think that's profitable laws and Tebow -- the bigger game experience he played. In the championship game yours ago and didn't start. Certainly he he was. It was a factor but Alabama you know they over achieved there that is such an awesome for you. They like speed channel lottery moment. Now why B I think that Florida advantage that speed that they had against Alabama. And I think that bow out here with the with the Oklahoma I Catholic the sooners have you know -- in the -- how -- that -- you -- you know. -- activate myself but I don't think they should be the underdog and I think that works of their their favorites are doing I absolutely agree with that because -- mean what what we've seen this whole week and even. Before the week before people got. Was. And I want to be the underdog Iowa right now and I've been -- respected you and -- these disrespect usable or. Are required -- I'd rather coach you know angry bitter Q you've -- other guys that -- there now which they're not. But but I think you what you could be sort of out of fox broadcaster trying to marquis. Heisman trophy winners established programs. You know that is the excitement of -- one loss teams in an argument whoever wins we some debate about where Hewitt it's beautiful. -- I think we will -- give each game here we've -- built up out of the big twelve. Rate -- For a have me appreciate my pleasure earlier in my house -- I'll beat him."
