I think that they're- Okay capable of winning a national championship this upcoming year.
They're one of the, the few teams- Wow they're probably like one of the teams- Okay on the outside that if I were to pick the Whenever I get asked, like, "Who's the team you think that shocks everyone?"
For me, that answer is, it's Oklahoma.
It's Mateer has the talent to be a top quarterback in the country, and if he gets back to that, all this comes to fruition.
He's got the supporting cast, he's got the better offensive line, he, he could do it.
I also think- Mm-hmm that their defense, I think that the Oklahoma defense is the best in the SEC.
And I think that for as much hype as Georgia gets, they've got questions which we've discussed with their pass rush.
For as good as Texas' is, they lost talent at multiple positions.
I think that Oklahoma- Mm-hmm is bringing back the most talented core that I know that what they're capable of.
They didn't really lose anything.
Both of those things give me a buy-in.
