OU - USU Preview

So you're wondering how the Utah State Aggies match up to the

Sooners? Well, they don't.

Offense		Sooners averaging 65 pts per game. Aggies have scored 17 pts per game against UNLV and Wyoming.
Defense		I don't know anything about the Utah State D. As a writer on a no ad, no pay blog, I don't have to.
Special Teams		Utah State punts and returns more kickoffs than OU, but I give the edge to the Sooners for having more practice on FG, XP and kickoff coverage.
Stadium Name		Romney Stadium vs Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium at Owen Field. Romney Stadium (named after former coach) wins for simplicity.
Coaching		Utah State Coach Brent Guy is Boone State alum. While he has an otherwise impressive resume, he is 4-21 in two plus yrs. USU not recovered from John L Smith leaving for Louisville.
Cool Alumni		Utah State counts NFL greats Merlin Olsen and Cornell Green as alumni,as well as longtime BYU coach Lavell Edwards. All this is offset by allowing Harry Reid to graduate and become a U.S. Senator. OU alumni include Larry Drake (Benny on LA Law), James Garner, Ed Harris (Apollo 13, Truman Show), Jim Ross (pro rasslin announcer). I watched Apollo 13 last week, so the Sooners get the nod.
NASA Moonbuggy Race		Utah State won the award in 2005. LandThieves, uninterested in amassing territory on other planets, have not competed.
