00:02 Title game at Jerry's World against Oklahoma State.
00:05 Sark says we've come this far, we gotta go a little bit further.
00:09 >> I mean, it's awesome.
00:11 One thing I talked to the team about today,
00:16 actually on that point was, we didn't come this far just to come this far.
00:24 And there's more out there for us to accomplish.
00:30 And that was a great celebration Friday night, but that wasn't the end, right?
00:34 That was just another checkpoint in the journey.
00:36 >> Yeah. >> 14 and a half, Joe,
00:40 55 and a half for this game.
00:42 We've brought this up a lot.
00:43 Weird stuff has happened in this Big 12 title game.
00:46 I think Texas is gonna win this game, Joe.
00:48 But over two touchdowns with Oklahoma State,
00:53 provided that they play the game the way we think they can,
00:56 which is giving Gordon a rock, controlling the football, things like that.
00:59 I think they can stay within this 14 and a half.
01:03 >> I think so too, Carver.
01:04 You know where I stand with Oklahoma State.
01:06 I understand they're basically five to one to win this game.
01:09 I get that.
01:10 And I understand the line opened up at 11 and a half and 14 and a half.
01:14 And Texas has been the best team in the Big 12 up until this point.
01:18 However, I will say this, a lot of pressure on Sark to win this game.
01:22 And he hasn't been in the spot.
01:25 Gundy has.
01:26 And Gundy maybe hopefully learned from what he didn't do in terms of that ballgame
01:30 where he lost the ballot.
01:31 Now that was a tighter spread.
01:33 It was a different team.
01:34 In Texas, typically, we has one of the best rush defenses,
01:39 not just in the Big 12, but in all the college football.
01:42 But that has to be the MO for Mike Gundy.
01:44 Shorten the game.
01:45 You don't have the advantage at the quarterback position.
01:48 Force mistakes.
01:50 Get Texas to force and maybe potentially beat themselves.
01:54 Look, I'm taking the 14 and a half.
01:56 I'm sitting on a 60 and 46 to 1 ticket for Oklahoma State.
02:01 I might hedge in game.
02:02 But run it, Ollie.
02:03 Let's run it right to the title.
02:06 I'm not backing down now.
02:08 These folks are live.
02:09 And just wear the black helmet with the orange pant.
02:13 And we're going to win the ballgame outright.
02:16 Joe needs to basically monitor that live number,
02:19 that entire football game.
02:21 Like, Joe needs to have it glued to his hand.
02:24 Because, Joe, you need that game tight starting
02:28 the second half.
02:28 Because if you get the game tight,
02:31 even by then, the favorite--
02:33 you were saying, what is it now?
02:35 It's 6 or 700 or something like that, minus things.
02:37 It's minus 6.
02:38 You get it under 2, Joe.
02:40 You get it under 2, and you're going to have a chance.
02:43 140, 150.
02:44 But we know the MO of Oklahoma State
02:47 is that the past couple of games,
02:48 they've started slow on how to pull these games out
02:50 in the second half.
02:51 They can't do that against Texas.
02:53 They have to be all dialed in.
02:55 They can't put the ball into Bowman's hands early.
02:58 Get this-- I'm telling you, shorten the game.
03:00 Take eight-minute drives, and just grind it out.
