An Injury That Can Change the National Title Picture

Why is no one talking about the loss of Oklahoma TE Jermaine Gresham for Saturday's game against BYU in Dallas? Gresham is easily the best tight end in the country and the only proven pass catching option for Heisman trophy winning QB Sam Bradford. Oklahoma will already be breaking in 4 new starters on the offensive line and 2 new starters at WR. BYU's offense has some star power with senior QB Max Hall, RB Harvey Unga, and TE Dennis Pitta(VERY underrated pass catcher) so the Sooners are gonna have to score if they want to win. This game has HUGE national title implications because whatever team wins could very well be on their way to the championship game(although BYU will have to go undefeated for that happend). I still think Oklahoma will pull out a win but the loss of Gresham makes it a LOT shakier for the Sooners.
