Oklahoma: What did we learn?

[cheekygeek]

What kills me is how our coach can be so bad at understanding situations. Down 7 with a minute and the ball...ou is going to either come at you or drop and hope the clock burns out. At this point, you have to know what your team's strengths and weaknesses are and how the rest of the game has gone. The oline is just a mess. Roll out the qb. This helps against an all out blitz and gives him the option to scramble for 10 or 15 and get out of bounds if they play prevent. Either way ot ensures you don't take a sack in bounds and ruin the whole thing right away. Sigh...

If you know your NU vs OU history, this is THE place to pull out the Hook & Ladder (Omar to a trailing Betts). I remember OU tearing out our heart in a similar game ending situation & it would have been sweet to have that as payback.

Proud of them. Showed some heart.

...but on the other hand, if Culp had made his kicks then our last drive puts us in the lead and OU is having to come back from behind for the win. That last drive shouldn't have been a 2 minute drill, hail mary fest to begin with.

Can anybody explain why we don’t have a lot more quick hit pass patterns? Seems to me we constantly put Adrian in a bad position with all these long developing pass plays. Even our TE routes take forever to develope.

Thank you. One of my biggest annoyances on how people call that play. 

 

[Guy Chamberlin]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the offense had a single three and out today. Who would have taken that bet last week?

No worries, Barry.

I’m also old enough to remember the PLAY CALL.

2 things come to mind for me.

1) Frost playbook has yet to evolve where it compliments receivers that can create separation off the line.

2) see #1

We got some legit WR right now, will be interesting the rest of the year...I can see some fireworks coming from this group

I basically see where we're at like this: If we had beaten Illinois and then the next three games (meaning including this one) happened just the way they have, I'm pretty sure there'd be a sizable chunk of this board saying that we're good enough to actually challenge for the West title.

We still might be. If we get a decisive win in East Lansing next week we might just be on that course.

But the special teams problems have to evaporate. Like, completely evaporate starting next week if there's any chance.

Alabama with 10 penalties and there's still game left.

Their coaches must suck at discipline.

Yeah, they need to clean things up if they ever want to be in title contention.

I got to see option football 4 weeks in a row,  I got to see option football against oklahoma 50 years after the game of the century.  I dont know what scott frost future is, i dont know what we can do with what we have.  But it was very promising.

I am not sure what's going on with the RB room, other than the guy who practices the best each week gets the majority of the touches. Rahmir did play well. It will be interesting to see what happens down the road. It sucked to see what happened with Ervin. 

Frost said he didn't want RB by committee, but going into this season I felt like that's what we were gonna see.

One INT that was a helluva athletic play by the OU player.

That maybe have been the most amazing screwup I've ever seen, lol. It was 4th down - they would've had better field position if he'd just batted it away.
