Don't underestimate OU at home

Yes, Oklahoma State is 9-2 and Oklahoma is 6-5. 

Yes, OSU has won all of its games on the road this season.

Yes, OSU enters Saturday's Bedlam contest at Memorial Stadium a lot more healthy than the Sooners.

And even though all the signs point to OSU winning for the first time against OU in the Mike-Gundy era, don't be so sure of it.

The Sooners are  65-2 at home while Bob Stoops has been roaming the sidelines. And don't get too excited about the one OSU victory Cowboys fans because Josh Fields, Rashaun Woods and Luke Phillips are not walking through the door prior to the 2009 matchup.

The Cowboys, in fact, would be playing with a second-string QB (Brandon Weeden) and a still-gimpy Kendall Hunter. 

And when the Sooners play on Owen Field they are a much different team than when they play at far away places such like Lubbock, Texas or Lincoln, Neb.

Final statistic to keep in mind: Since 1960, OU is 19-5 against Oklahoma State when the game has been played in Norman. And the Sooners are 37-8-2 all-time in Norman against the Cowboys.

My prediction for the 104th edition of the Bedlam rivalry: Oklahoma 30, Oklahoma State 20.
