Texas OU Game 2009 Live:- Watching film of OU's games against Miami and Baylor, the difference between Landry Jones and Sam Bradford is as stark as you'd expect it to be. Less clear is whether the rest of OU's offensive roster is in any way capable of extracting the full potential value added from the upgrade. If Jermaine Gresham's healthy it's a different story, but the current cast of misfits and mystics aren't constituted to take advantage of Bradford's strengths as an accurate, strong-armed quarterback who can stretch the defense.Not only that, but as TES neatly documented, the Sooners' offensive line may cost Bradford both shoulders by the time Saturday's game is through. Earlier today, during my weekly appearance on Paul Alexander's terrific "Longhorns Pipeline" program, one of the other guests (think it was former 'Horns WR Sloan Thomas) made the point that "if you're out there thinking during a game like this one, you're done for." Though Bradford looked good throwing the ball against Baylor, watching him move around one got the sense he wasn't fully confident in his physical condition just yet. If he's ginger, or wary of taking hits, it'll be interesting to see if the pressure he's certain to face Saturday affects his performance.
