Hello, I a writer credentialed to cover SDSU athletics. A collegue on mine, wrote the above preview. As an exercise in quality control because you know the Bobcats better than we do, would a few of be willing to read the preview and let me know if it represents your team? Thanks!

Excellent work, I believe this is very accurate from Bob's perspective. "Seamlessly" may be a tad strong related to Harris spelling Rourke...perhaps "capably", but that's really picking nits. Thanks for asking.

And for the record, I hate tOSU, and Ricordati and Torgerson are DB's.

You touched on it, but many of the articles I've seen really hammer on how bad OU's defense was last year - definitely warranted early on - without taking into account the second half of the season. They essentially went from the worst D in college football to a much stronger unit that made significant improvements under a first year d coordinator.

In their final 7 games they held teams to an average of 16.4 ppg, which would've been 8th in FBS. They're certainly not THAT good, but they're not a dumpster fire as most have made it seem.

That might be the key to OU's entire season. OU can score at will, can they stop teams (consistently enough) to win?

All-in-all, good stuff. I see you were too scared to get into the prediction business. ;)

What a great summary of the defense. Glad we got it right!

Haha, yeah, predictions are scary. We saved that for our podcast :) Here's our preview of Saturday's game. It's after we interviewed SDSU's new baseball coach, who was recently hired. Thank you everyone for the feedback! Good luck on Saturday. Hope the season lives up to expectations for you.
