OSU Bullets
• The Pokes are still in the same spot in the AP and in the Coaches Poll after the bye week – Texas remained in the top-25 after losing to OU
• ICYMI – the Pokes are set for the early kickoff in Austin on Saturday
• Here’s why you can be confident about OSU’s defense on Saturday – they’re one of the best Texas has seen yet (Arkansas is really close in points per drive to OSU):
OSU has held opponents to 91 rushing yards and 214.2 passing yards per game. Opponents are also 22 for 74 on third down, an impressive 29.7% success rate. OSU also has 16 sacks. The Cowboys have the talent and confidence on defense to slow down the Longhorns’ offense, which has issues on the offensive line.
• Texas opened as a five-point favorite to the Pokes in Vegas
• Matthew Wolff had a tough final round and finished second at the Shriner Children’s Open
• ESPN’s power rankings have the Pokes as the No. 12 football team in the country
• If anyone ever tells you “OSU is the only team with tight sidelines” – the answer is no.

Non-OSU Bullets
• The broken supply chain resulting from COVID-19
• Live near your (Christian) friends and family (faith-based)
• The new look Big 12 will be just fine
A big reason is stuff like this:
The Big 12 was really hurt by OU & Texas bouncing to the SEC, but I tell you what: The Big 12 is adding two damn good football programs in Cincinnati and BYU. Cincy will have a legit case for the CFP if they run the table after beating Notre Dame.
