    How did this staff not contemplate Arnold leaving and not give Hawkins more touches. He accounted for only other SEC win vs. Aubie. Sure he was dreadful vs the Cocks, but no worse than Arnold was vs UTenn. Especially after we decided to just run the ball vs. Bama - give Hawkins some touches...

    Why is Emmett Jones still here?

    Arbuckle named new OC

    Really interesting interview - guy is mellow but intelligent (sounds like he was on track to be a CFO type). Is quite close to Mateer so hopefully that materializes (even still close to Cam Ward who face-timed him on his bday from Miami). And that's the most impressive thing this young guy...

    Must get a QB

    As much as I've bagged on our OCs....the reality is we have faced EIGHT teams with top 25 ranked total defenses (inclusive of Houston and Tulane, besides the SEC foes): https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/22 We've faced two defenses that were not stout. Been a perfect...

    Offensive Line

    Asking the four true frosh OL to make an immediate impact in the SEC is asking a bit much. Pierre-Louis and Brooks will eventually be solid starters at guard IMO, especially after a full year doing S&C here. Its the tackles that worry me. Whomever did the evaluations of the OL NIL transfers...

    Mizzou Prediction

    With the likes of Burton (and even Weese wanting to have a good game vs his old team) our suspect corners are going to be burned for more than 16 points; hope I'm wrong. I do believe Mizzou has been over-rated from the get-go, but this will be a jihad effort for them, as the following week...

    OU Total Offense: #108. Littrell is a disaster

    I'm actually almost optimistic IF Hawkins is at QB. He can at least make plays in spite of what Littrell calls, and during OL breakdowns. Our D is better than advertised with zero complimentary O from Littrell. We score from 5 yards out after the turnover and that's a one score game. Going...

    OU Total Offense: #108. Littrell is a disaster

    Meanwhile Cincy already has 21 points vs Houston in the 2nd. The bottom line is we don't have the 108th ranked offense after facing the SEC schedule everyone keeps pointing to...but against chumps.

    OU Total Offense: #108. Littrell is a disaster

    Given the defense and the fact that Arnold put up ~350 in the bowl game (albeit with picks - but we should not have had him come out slinging it which lead to that - that too is on Littrell) there was a definite sense of tempered optimism we were way under-rated going into the season, even with...

    247 Says

    UT loses their entire WR corps. Wasn't just Worthy, who was dinged up quite a bit. But those WRs made Ewers and inspite of them had some very pedestrian games. Top 5 WRs from 2023 - all gone: # Player GP NO YDS AVG TD Long AVG/G 1 Worthy, Xavier 14 75 1014 13.52 5 54 72.43 5 Mitchell...

    OL Geirean Hatchett transfers to OU…

    UW's repeated failure to identify the DB blitz and just ignore/whiff on it was disturbing. Hopefully its just their OL coach and this kid isn't that bad on pass protection. Their sack numbers are low because Pennix is mobile and a master of getting rid of the ball, but the 2nd half of the NC...

    Turn out the lights…

    Total passing yards allowed (based on avg. per game), national ranking: OU #109 (the position coaches continue to get accolades for recruiting...not results on the field) UT #113 (I still say we should have taken more deep shots even though we won) UW #120 (Ewers should have had a much better...
