This is starting to feel like a lose-lose game to me.

If we win then "Oh, you just beat an overrated OK team that lost 5 games."
If we lose "Oh you got beat by an OK team that was supposed to be good but wasn't."
I would love a W and 10 wins this year but I don't think we're going to get credit for this one...
GO TIGERS!!

I have felt the same way for a whole....a no win situation for us.

....and come out like he did in that first drive against Georgia and maintain that type of in-game zone all game long,...then Oklahoma will be rattled and unravel and lose to us.

first half of the UGA game and he looked like a different player.
He was going through his reads, making accurate throws, good pocket awareness, etc. I know he says it hasn't been mental but we've seen him play well so we know he's physically capable of it.
If I were him (or the coaches) I would be watching as much film of their Defense as I could find and practice going through reads.
And then pray the run games continues to work and the O-Line can pass protect for him better than they have all year.

I would even show him the first half film of the UGA game to show him he can play better than he has been playing. Tell him that players like Deshaun could win the starting job over most any QB in college FB. That he's not a bad QB, but Deshaun is better than most. Try and take away the thoughts that he has that he a bad QB, and that Deshaun would have most likely taken the job from Tajh also. Just tell him anything no matter what you have to tell him to get his confidence back. Even lie like h&ll if they have to. Tell him that Deshaun could have taken Mariota's starting job!!!

To be fair, UGA was trying to get used to that new system

It's only logical that they'd come out and need some time to settle in as the bugs got worked out. They got a handle on things quickly, which is when they started going badly for us.
I haven't watched OU's defense, but I don't get the sense that if you can pick them apart in the short to mid range through the air, you are going to score lots of points.
I guess it's similar to UGA in that they're solid against the run, but not too hot against the pass.

Actually Cole played decent up until he lost the starting job to Deshaun. Cole wasn't playing all that bad, but taking him out after his first bad play at FSU and handing the job over to Deshaun destroyed any confidence he had. Even after Deshaun broke his finger in the Louisville game, Cole wasn't the same player he was before. The defense won the Louisville with the two TDs the defense made. If not for our exceptionally good play from our defense and Ammon Lakip's leg, we wouldn't be playing Oklahoma in a Bowl game. Cole has really struggled in every game since losing his job in the FSU game. And I hope that with absolutely no threat of any kind of Deshaun playing another down this season. I'm hoping and praying that Cole will put the team on his shoulders and just play to his abilities and don't turn the ball over with rookie mistakes. If he does, we have a chance.

Actually, it's more of a win-win. If we lose, nobody remembers it because it is nothing more than a post-season exhibition game. If we win, we get credit as one of only 4 teams to win 10 games in 4 consecutive years.
go tigers.

You guys are crazy...this is a very winnable game for us, no matter who is playing for them! We win in the trenches on D, no doubt. With the time given to prepare and rest players I think we have a good matchup on the OL. I give the slight edge to OU in the passing game, simply because DW4 won't be playing, but we have a much better secondary and LB play than OU. Our running game is picking up steam, and even though they have a great running game, I think our D counters that. Let's just hope the coaches prepare Stoudt well and devise a great game plan. I'm excited to see it all unfold and have a great feeling about this game. Go Tigers!

Yes it is a winnable for us as long as our QB don't complete more passes to their defense than to our offense!!!

But just think.....Clemson would have been in the prestigious Orange Bowl instead of the lowly Russell Athletic bowl had they not gotten blown out by a far superior Georgia Tech team - that was a devastating loss for Clemson. Oklahoma is not even a ranked opponent and they're embarrassed to be in the Russell bowl.
