  1. A team built on emotion can't draw on that emotions for 13 games straight. See Colorado against Oregon.

    On the release you fire vertical and inside to take away the db leverage. If you do that it won't matter if the db read the play or not. Read wasn't great but a play like that should end up with the receiver getting blown up as soon as he catches it or the pass broken up.

    If you think the route wasn't why you clearly DO need a lesson on running slant routes. You eat up space and attack the leverage. Get into the db but at the same time attack his inside leverage and put him in chase mode. If you run a lazy outfake, and then cut inside the DB is left squatting on the inside with no fear of anything else. Here is what it should look like.

    We tried to run off tackle and Campbell pulled weird and got the play blown up. Watch how he pulls. He loops around instead of firing straight down the line. That couple step loss is the difference between meeting him at the LOS and getting yourself and your RB's lead blocker stacked up with a single edge defender. Bad technique by a young guy. 23:50 mark of the video

    On double slants your read is the inside DB. If he carries the first route then you throw behind him. At that point its the trailing slant receivers job to win his individual battle. YOU CANNOT let a defender cross your face. That's the law of being a receiver. You have to win the battle to get to the inside even if it means you fall down from colliding into the defender. Did you see any of that? No. Mitchell ran a slow, lazy route, allowing the db the time to diagnose and jump it. More speed and he has to climb your back to get to that ball.

    Exactly!! People make it like its hard to ask a receiver to knock a ball down or simply run through a DB that jumps a route. No one is going to call anything on you.

    Should the ball have been thrown? No, but it damn sure shouldn't be a pick. Run the video and watch AD's lazy ass route. Look how slow he is running. You flatten out your route and drive through the ball. Mitchell gives zero effort to do that and then zero effort to keep the db from getting the ball. He doesn't even get his jersey dirty. 100% Whitt doesn't allow that to happen whether he catches it or not. That is flat out embarrassing!!! Help your fucking quarterback!!

    Rocket- I don't blame coaches when I see the same issues that players always have popping up games. As I said before. Mitchell isn't physical. You try to coach kids to be but some just aren't. Since you can't just let kids run certain plays because it would literally tell a defense what we planned to do as soon as they came in, you have to live with their shortcomings. Slant play Mitchell gets bullied for the ball by a DB. Same on the blocking. It doesn't always happen but usually once a game we see it. For 3 years Worthy hasn't fought for a ball in the air. reared its ugly head in the game. Sanders is prone to drop with any contact. We saw it a few games ago when he caught a ball in the endzone and Whitt ran into him and knocked it loose. Well, he has a ball in his hands and bam. Where I blame the coaches is not playing aggressive on that last drive defensively. We should've brought some heat on Gabriel. I understand what they were trying to do but because of the wide splits of the Briles offense and the running ability of the QB, just sitting back and trying to make them throw short wasn't going to work.

    Those are the same guys who were in here mad after the TCU game that we didn't run the ball more. Lol. Like I said before, mad because we didn't call the touchdown play.
  10. It's like Tiger Woods come from behind wins in majors. 15 Majors and 82 tour wins and we are on about that one dumb stat. If Sark finishes the year 0-1 in one score games and no more losses I think we all are happy.

    If we replace Mitchell with Whitt on that slant does anyone here think that's an interception? Hell no! I hope the light comes on for the kid. I really do. Usually when a kid gets his draft grade he tries a little harder. Maybe that will happen for him. At this point we know what we have. Worthy won't fight for a ball in the air and tries to basket-catch everything. Mitchell has good hands, size, and speed but is not physical. Whitt is physical but lacks speed. Sanders, for all his greatness, has suspect hands. 3 of these players had plays their flaws pop up in this game and hurt us. Mitchell on the aforementioned plays. Sanders on the drop/int. Worthy could've had a PI on the deep ball. Those little plays make the difference in wins and losses.

    This is correct. The first throw of the game was a QB trusting that the receiver would make sure he won the route. Mitchell let a DB run through him to the ball. Then he let a db run through him in blocking. Those little things matter in a game like this. Roy Williams used to play like that quite a bit, and Mitchell ain't Roy.

    It's not about a gotcha moment. I just want to get you on record every time you move the goal posts so people can see who you are. Each year you've altered your tune. I just wanna make sure you aren't on the band wagon when its all said and done.

    You are borderline regarded. Seriously. It's not just about the subbing. It's also to prevent defensive checks, and to keep them from running exotics against you. For that to work you need to get ready to go. If everyone is up and standing so is the defense, and they are getting the right calls from the sideline while doing it. You thereby lost half the effectiveness of tempo. OU lost to Florida in 08 when they slowed down their HUNH. They lost to us the same way that season. Came out running the hunh and then they slowed their tempo in the second half and we came roaring back scoring 21 points to their 14. They ran 92 plays on Mizzou, 82 plays on OSU, but only 67 plays on us and 70 on Florida. You guys always wanna cherry pick the parts you want when it doesn't work like that. You wanna wild woman in bed you gotta take the crazy out of the bedroom with it.
  15. Isn't it funny? We had just taken a sack and these fuckers on this thread want us to drop back and throw it again. Imagine Surly melting down had we attempted that and got sacked again or even an incomplete? Also, I said this in another thread and I will say it here. Going tempo is what slowed down OU's defense. However, the negative with tempo is you can't hurry up to the line and then have your linemen sit in stance for 30 seconds. That is a recipe for false starts. So the negative of that is snapping early. That said none of us know if OU would've been still struggling to defend us if we slow all the way down and allow them to both sub and get checks in. Truth is we lost that on defense when we allowed them to drive the entire length of the field in one minute.

    Your expectation of what the coach will do is currently being outperformed. You said over and over Sark is a middling head coach and have referred to him as 7 win Steve ad nauseam. You yourself said BELOW "Sark winning 10 games would absolutely be a breakthrough in his coaching career because he’s only won 9 games 1x". So those are your expectations for the current head coach. In your mind you think he is on track for an absolute breakthrough of a season having played 6 teams, 3 of which are ranked, and 5 of which have only 5 losses between them, 3 of those to us. You said so yourself. "Breakthrough".

    Some years back everyone was trying to run the HUNH(hurry up no huddle) offense and then all the sudden it lost favor. Why? Because of exactly what you just posted. It is difficult to hurry up back to the LOS and ask your line to sit there for 25-30 seconds. That's exactly how you get a slew of procedure penalties. OU was mauling our line and Quinn could barely set his feet to make throws. Sark went to tempo to keep them from subbing and tire out their D and it worked. However, the downside of speeding up is you can't ask your O-line to stay in stance for 30 seconds. Someone will flinch. This is exactly what I was talking about. You guys are always looking for the negative and refuse to take the positive with it. If you start slowing down then OU will start subbing, and then maybe those successful plays don't work. This isn't a vacuum. Changes will have a response. You can't just ignore the part you don't like.
  18. A win is a win. I'll take it. It was ugly as hell, though. They been in do fights pretty much all season. Builds character.

    You said before the season when someone said 10 wins that their expectations were higher than yours. Now you are saying 9 wins. Lol. One game difference all the sudden. We see who you are. Carry on.

    See. Now let's show you what you said after season's end last year and how you've moved the goal posts. In the first post you say just winning 9 games would be Sark has started to figure it out. Then in the second post when @Snake Diggity lays out the 2023 expectations, and then says he expects us to win 10 games next season, you say(and I quote) "You have higher expectations than I do". Now note that you yourself used the word expectations. Now fast forward to now and all the sudden your expectations are playing in the big12 CG. Complete goal post moving on your part. You started a thread saying Sark was a middling head coach. In that thread you stated you didn't expect him to have 10 wins. Now all the sudden CCG is new standard.

    This is what I'm on about. Getting abused when trying to block. Lack of effort to "win" on the slant interception. Just overall soft play.

    How many wins did you think would be acceptable this season.

    So you thought we were going undefeated this year? Careful. You have posted your yr 3 expectations elsewhere.
