It's still early in the season. OU did what I worried would happen at least once this season. They looked like they had a redshirt freshman quarterback, and they didn't play well. That's happened in other good years and we managed to barely pull out a win, rather than lose by three. Several factors contributed: perhaps overlooking Colorado with Texas next week, the altitude and conservative play calling after Bradford threw the interception. I honestly do not know why Bob Stoops downplayed the altitude. If you blow out the opponent, and can rest your first team in the second half, the altitude may not matter. But, as a long time skier, I can tell you that I got altitude sickness the first day of skiing every time we went (two to three times a years for 25 years). Exercise worsens it, and the only cure is going down to a lower altitude. You feel like you have the flu, no energy and have shortness of breath. There are drugs to help, like diamox, but they're not a cure. I heard Bud Wilkinson used to take the team to Colorado on Wednesday, back in the days when school really didn't matter, and I think he was smart. So, in a game when you have to play hard for four quarters, and the other team, by virtue of living there, probably has a hematocrit 3 to 5 grams higher than yours (equivalent to taking Procrit like the cyclists are not allowed to do), you are not going to be able to call forth the extra oomph you need to make a difference. But, the coaches need to play to win, not play to not lose. As far as overrated goes, you won't really know until the season is over, and until then it's just guessing. It's not OU's fault that the sportswriters rank them where they do. Remember too, Florida lost to Auburn about this time last year. It's way to early to call anyone over or underrated.
