If I were a FS and saw Unga coming at me, I would crap my pants. I would whiff at his ankles and let him go.

I haven't been able to watch the dbs to know if they are average or good for us.
If we have a top 5 offense and have a top 30 or 40 defense playing against the sorry assortment of future offenses we're facing, we'll be just fine.

Three games, TCU, Utah and bowl game. In those games, it's not likely the offenses will be sorry.

Utah typically has receivers who can test us, and TCU might as well. Plus, if miracles of miracles occurs, any BCS team at that level will have adequate speed to test us.

We aren't good enough to match up against USC, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma. Period. TCU and Utah's offenses don't really worry me at this point.

Game in and game out, I agree except I'm not so certain about Georgia.

Since your memory appears to suck, I'd like to point out the OU team that lost to TCU wasn't particularly good that year.

They finished 8-4 with a 45-12 loss to Texas and 41-24 loss to UCLA in addition to the loss to TCU and also a loss to Texas Tech. Their QB was a converted WR and a freshman QB that wasn't particularly good, got in trouble with the NCAA and disappeared off the face of the earth.

I'd say, one in three times they would and or one in four times.

This team is making a believer out of me, but game in and game out, I would not bet on it.
