WR Collin Johnson will play (first game since hamstring vs. LSU) Sterns, Green, Whittington and Thompson are officially out
Agree but we need these guys fully healed. Wish they could go this week though. I’m excited to see Whittington get his reps.
Although a win, I was not super impressed with that game. We almost choked it away and let them win. We were all set to beat them by 3 TDs until we started choking in the 4th quarter.
I was commenting more on the shortcomings of the site to only be able to react in one way to a comment.
Actually, it was a great game plan by Jay Norvell on offense and I suppose an effectively Charlie Strong conceived defense.
We played a damn good football team and managed to get the win. I’ll take that brand of choking every Saturday all year long.
Good post.. I'll add that they cannot get too wide, but also cannot get held and sucked inside. Will be interesting to see if we can get push up the middle while containing the edges. Alot will ride on this aspect of the game Saturday. ...for them as well.
It's a shame...we actually beat them pretty bad last year... almost. If we hadn't have let up I think the vibe and whole effect of that victory on the remainder of the season including the CCG rematch might have been different.
The game comes down to if we can stop your offense. I think the Sooners are going to score 35-40 points. The question is are they going to let the UT quarterback combine the bullishness of Blake Bell with the arm of almost Baker M. I really think that Hurts may be a better all around QB for the current college game than the last two. I like to compare different positions to NFL running backs. Barry Sanders was obviously amazing. However, if I were building a team I'd rather have Emmitt Smith. Emmitt made a 1 yard gain into 4 often. Barry might turn a 1 yard loss into 80 yards but he also might turn a 4 yard gain into a 1 yard loss being too creative. Hurts is an Emmitt. Kyler may have been an Emmitt/Barry combination. Baker was a Barry. It's just too bad neither of them had a defense to help them out.
I totally agree, and that is the only thing (including the ou offensive line holding on every play) that scares me about ou.
I think it might be who's winning late and can they get a stop when they need it. I agree on Hurts, but he's the only major segment of your team that I love.
