I wonder if anyone has been through this mental exercise.
OU put 23 on the board when they played Bama; one offensive touchdown with a INT for a TD and two fumbles deep in Bama's territory.
OU put up 17 when they played LSU and Missouri to close out this year's regular season.
So where do projections of "27" come from? Going with 20 for OU might begin to make some sense; but it doesn't either.
The numbers don't make sense here. (Which fits because a lot of Bama fans havent' as well these last two years.) What makes sense is a low scoring, low possession game.
