Improved Defenses Could Make for a Lower-Scoring Bedlam

Will we see a traditional Bedlam shootout or will Saturday’s game be a lower-scoring affair? It’s a question I’ve seen raised several times this week, and for good reason.

We’ve grown accustomed to high-scoring rivalry games in this state in recent history with all-time offensive outbursts like a 48-47 final score last year and 2017’s ridiculous 114 combined points scored in Stillwater. But this year might be different.
