Obviously the Aggies have plenty of firepower. Johnny Manziel is worth about three touchdowns by himself. The Sooners put up over 40 points per game in with the well-balanced arsenal of Landry Jones' arm and Damien Williams' legs. Jones averaged over yards through the air and Williams averaged over 75 yards on the ground with 11 scores. Manziel put up 3, passing yards and 1, rushing yards with 43 total touchdowns in You'll be sorely disappointed.
The Aggies defense isn't exactly the best in the nation, but it still has the ability to make the Sooners one-dimensional. Oklahoma's offense lives through the air, but just like every other team, it opens up the pass game with the run game.
If the Aggies can hold the Sooners to under four yards per carry, it will be extremely tough for Landry Jones to get the pass game into rhythm. Landry has proven throughout the season he can get it done, but he hasn't faced a defense that forced him to be one-dimensional. The Aggies can do just that. But the Sooners are talented as well, and they have just enough talent to steal a victory in Dallas Jan.
Bob Stoops has never mastered a winning game plan for mobile quarterbacks, and he faces the best of the best Jan. There are plenty of names that have given Stoops' teams problems over the years. Manziel rushed for 1, yards this season with 19 touchdowns. Manziel was picked off in the second quarter after his bootleg move and a throw that hit Malcome Kennedy in the hands in the end zone and deflected into the air.
Javon Harris grabbed the interception. The Sooners then crossed midfield before Jones had a pass intercepted by Dustin Harris and returned to the Oklahoma Two plays later, Manziel had his bootleg TD run. Oklahoma was in the Cotton Bowl for only the second time. It was the first bowl matchup between the former Big 12 rivals, but the 17th consecutive season they have played each other. The Sooners had won 11 of 13 since Bob Stoops became their coach.
The next year, Sumlin was hired by Stoops as an assistant, and he stayed there five seasons before going to Houston as head coach and then the Aggies. Virginia starting quarterback Brennan Armstrong, who ranked second nationally in passing average in , will return for the season. USC's Bru McCoy, who didn't play a game this season after a July arrest on suspicion of felony domestic violence, has entered the transfer portal for the third time in his career. Jarek Broussard, who rushed for yards this season after averaging More college football players are entering the transfer portal each year.
As the season winds down, we will analyze top players as they enter the portal and make new commitments. Skip to main content Skip to navigation. Jan 4, Associated Press. South Carolina. Alabama's been known for its dominant wide receiver play over the years, and has been no different with the two-headed attack of Jameson Williams and John Metchie.
Metchie leads the team in catches with 96 and is second in receiving yards with 1,, but he suffered a non-contact injury in the SEC title game. Following the game, coach Nick Saban couldn't confirm the exact injury, only saying it was "a pretty serious" knee injury and that he's expected to be unavailable for both games of the playoff should Alabama win. That means Cincinnati's job could be a bit easier, only having to guard Jameson Williams as opposed to Williams and Metchie.
Even if Metchie is unable to play, Alabama has still put up some of the most prolific offensive numbers in the nation. The Crimson Tide rank sixth in total offense The Tide can also win in a multitude of ways, not just needing to attack through the air. Running back Brian Robinson is an efficient runner, averaging 4. For as dynamic as Alabama's offense is, Cincinnati's been just as good at keeping opponents off the scoreboard. The Bearcats rank fourth in scoring defense Perhaps most importantly, however, is Cincinnati's red zone defense.
