The Aggies sure have put their fans through a rollercoaster ride in 2011: all three of Texas A&M’s defeats have come after blowing substantial halftime leads.It happened again last week against Missouri as the Tigers overcame a 28-17 deficit to stun A&M in overtime.
Can Mike Sherman’s men bounce back and hang with the resurgent Sooners? Sure, they can.
For openers, Oklahoma unloaded a season’s worth of frustration in their 58-17 humiliation of phony Kansas State and we question whether they can bring the same sort of intensity to this matchup.
The ‘revenge’ players will be all over OU here after A&M shocked the Sooners at College Station last year, winning 33-19 as a 3.5-point dog.
But we’re not about to lay doubles with erratic Oklahoma into a quality foe that’s going to be pretty angry and frustrated themselves after seriously jeopardizing their shot at the league title.
The Aggies also dress up as one of Marc’s ‘Lay Lady Lay’ plays from this year’s BSN Sports News – namely a dog that’s been favored in each of its last seven games in a row.
Not many meaningful numbers to compare – Oklahoma is a weak 5-12 ATS playing at Norman with Big 12 revenge while A&M’s Sherman is 2-0 SU and ATS after losing SU as a favorite of 5 or more points – so we’ll go with our gut here.
The visitors may suffer another ‘Aggie-nizing’ loss on the scoreboard but we think they’ll grab the cash.
