    Can you win CFP w/o top OL/DL?

    The Y2K Sooners played in a different time. Rules changes have made line play more important that ever among top college teams. And as athletes have gotten bigger, stronger, and faster, the ability to create seams and preclude lanes has never been more important. Of course, that puts a premium...

    I re-watched some of the Orange Bowl....

    What looks like poor coaching decisions is often nothing more than the product of coaches having to make decisions that are outside of their comfort zone and outside of the skill sets of the players. And, as we know, a lot of curious decisions have to do with the fact that when you cannot block...

    Just curious if you guys feel like Clemson has a chance against Bama

    The game will not be high scoring because The Tide will stifle Clemson and since Coker will not have a lot of big windows they will not take chances on offense. Bama will win because of vastly superior special teams. They have a FG kicker so is a threat from 56-57 yards and can take advantage...

    Thanks Bob Stoops..

    I am not now nor ever have called for Stoops to step down. Nevertheless, let's hope the uptick experienced this year means that we are really movers and shakers again. Without the gods fortune of playing teams with backup QBs, we could have easily lost to a couple of teams down the stretch. If...

    Stars Matter

    Everybody wants to blame the spread offense, but I think a large part of the reality is the we were way too late to the game in gravitating for social media to help our recruiting. until we had Montgomery on the staff for like what, a few months I don't think we even knew what the hell Twitter...

    Stars Matter

    Very good point on the fact that we, and actually most of the better linemen and LBs in the B12, brush past blocks. DL often take on a shoulder and them run around, and the backers avoid much of the contact. It creates huge lanes on read plays because the QB simply takes the areas vacated by the...

    Texas and Nick Saban

    The fact that we put an occasional OL into the league doesn't change the fact that we at OU have a very average 5 man OL each year and it gets exposed when facing a physical defensive front. We get caught up in the hype because we are able to run against B12 defenses that sometimes have a big...

    Obligatory FIRE SOMEONE thread

    It was JH's fault if he was the one who recruited TK and thought that he could play QB even at Division 3.

    Old School Vs New School...

    We surely are. But I know that you know that comparative scores are really less than meaningless in a world where most individuals teams look different on any given game day regardless of the opposition. If you throw in a new QB, a trap game, a team that tends to play much better at home than...

    Lincoln Riley/Offensive Line

    I might agree with you except that of our 5 OL guys, multiple guys were being beaten on nearly every play. Don't forget that it was Mayfield's ability to run around while being chased that led to many of the exciting and effective pass plays that we have seen this year. Our front players have...

    Upset by Texas, but is anyone here REALLY surprised ?

    Hard to win games when you get dominated in the center of the field. Inside pressure and penetration blows up offenses, making outside pressure unmanageable. Defensively, counting on a guy Striker's size against a team running 85% of the time against your not so strong defensive front is...

    Tulsa channel 8 sports extra guys said Mike Stoops

    They may have expected a shorter pass asa prelude to field goal or throw into the end zone the next play. Still no excuse, though.

    DEPTH CHART...GAME #1...

    I think seeing Baxter pop up with Dede shows why we had so little production in the passing game last year, especially once Shepard went down (QB play notwithstanding). Previous recruiting seems to have focused on guys who turned out to be not that quick in and out of cuts, and lack of quality...
