I think just the opposite. I think Satan would have rather played OSU. yes OSU has better talent on defense, but their defense has been awful all season. OSU has not run the ball all year very well and I don;t think Satan would have worried about that. Haskins is great but not an elusive runner.
OU is horrendous on D and will probably lose 65 to say 30 ish. I don;t think that OU will run at all on Bama but I think Satan did not want to play OU strictly b/c of Murray. That kid is a water bug and chasing him will be difficult. Those types had been a nemesis to Satan, if he has any nemesis. But I think he knows if he can corral Murray, keep him in the pocket, that Murray will throw the ball to the wrong team a few times.
