Yeah 'causing' turnovers with stripping and swatting at the ball is fine as it gets the offensive players maybe on edge for security, but it's not a reliable thing.
OU wanting more Turnovers.

That's a little too pessimistic.
If ISU is +2 on turnovers, it's a 50/50 game. If turnovers are even, then it's going to be OU by 13, maybe 41-28.
HAVE to find a way to keep Hurts in check. I have no idea how, no one else has managed it. Ball control maybe, keep him off the field lol.
Aggressive on stripping is one thing, but it's an interesting play when our TEs and bigger WRs are already difficult to tackle. Poor tackling discipline will bite them there.
More importantly, if this aggression idea results in their CBs getting jumpy, they're just asking to get torched on big plays and/or trick plays -- and we've already shown plenty of willingness this season to go that route.

It might be a bit pessimistic, but I think this is a 10-13 point OU victory with it being even (like you said).
If OU wins the turnover battle by 2-3, you don’t think a blowout loss is probable?
I’m not predicting that, by the way. I think ISU can keep it close and even win if things go well.
I understand that.
But we also haven’t lost the turnover battle to a team like OU on the road.
I’m not predicting that to happen, just saying it is very realistic if we cough it up a few more times than OU does.
Yeah an even effort from both teams leads to OU winning comfortably.
Hoping just to see some improvements from ISU so they can have a chance vs. Texas next week.
