    Yeah, but this remains a typical a typical Lincoln Riley - Alex Grinch joint: top 5 offense, top 50 defense. To stop the Riley OU offenses, and I think this SC offense, the opposing DL has to dominate their running game and get pressure. I don't think they play one in the P12. Huard is a UW guy, and he was right in this case.

    Honoring the players who died.
  3. KU 8th drive Good KU 9th drive Good OU's defense has been competent on 4 out of last 5 KU drives.
  4. KU 5th drive 3-3 OU 41 missed assignment * wasn't a facemask Great INT KU 6th drive 1-10 DE washed 5 yd gain, rest did ok 2-10 Well played vs option 3-10 KU OL blows assignment, sack KU 7th drive 1-10 KU 25, #28 doesn't attack RB, costs 3 yds 1-10 KU 36, no OU players get off blocks, safety #6 (SR) blows tackle, doesn't even slow him down 1-10 OU 18, LB allows TE to blow by him
  5. Right decision to go for it with the way OU's offense has been getting yards and with the way OU's defense has been giving them up.
  6. Gabriel's misses more on 3rd down, I think. I'm going to start charting it.
  7. KU drive #4 1-10 KU 35, missed sack 2-10 KU 35, DE #8?, well played option, no gain 3-10 KU 35, OU in man coverage, #8 loses contain, KU QB would've had 1st down + a lot if he hadn't stumbled. OU catches a break on defense. OU drive #5 OU fails to play complimentary FB -- OU picks up 3rd down blitz, Mims is open on deep slant, Gabriel misses 3rd down throw, again
  8. 2nd KU drive 1st-10 KU 35, #40 missed tackle in backfield, should've been -4 yds, instead +1 2nd-10 OU 30, DE loses edge, 21 yd option run 2nd-10 OU 11, DT gets washed, #28 crunched by C, TD 3rd KU drive #31 good play to bat ball #40 holds edge no gain #12 plays ball, should've had pick Supposedly, he's great at everything other than playing DB. (top 100 recruit!)
  9. #25 senior safety could've had a pick if he looked for the ball
  10. 7-7 OU defense playing dumb again. 2nd-10 KU 25, missed tackle #2 (Sr), 4 yds extra 3rd-6 KU 31, offsides #31 (Sr) 3rd-1 KU, miss assignment #23 (Sr), 11 yds 2nd-11 OU 38, safety doesn't look at the ball #25 (Sr), ball caroms into KU WR hands, TD
  11. I guess we'll see. This is a big visit weekend for OU commits and targets, and he's in Austin. Not a great look.
  12. Vasek at UT today so this'll be the first test of Venables "no visits to other schools" policy.
  13. It's obvious Mim's good. I think he declares despite low numbers.
  14. If only...there are 2 big differences between OU's offensive and trajectory and UT's resurgence since last year: 1. OU's OL is getting worse. Lebby's scheme is supposed to be easier on OL, not harder. And this year, the OU is a step below last years, continuing the trend. This is on Bedenbaugh and Lebby. 2. It's very clear OU doesn't have a genius OC who scheme his team to easy yards and points. Lebby's probably above replacement level, but it's obvious he can't conjure up a strategy to take the load off of his QB.
  15. He should print those, complete with a rendering of his one catch. This is the poor guy's third year. When he was a frosh, he had Rattler closing the season strong and leading a top 3-4 team going into 2021 with classmate Caleb Williams in the bullpen. Last Saturday, he was a blocking split end for a wildcat offense.
  16. after the game plan vs Texas can you blame the guy for sniffing around elsewhere? No, I don't blame him. In fact, I said OU'd lose commits. It's only weird he'd chose ND because their QB development has been poor. i hope he takes a visit, i would love to see Venables pressed on his dumb ass "take visits and get your offer yanked" policy. because it is dumb. The policy, as I understand it, is that OU no longer considers you committed if you take other visits. I don't think they rescind the offer. That said, OU's policy is dumb. I said so several months ago and was surprised OU's gotten such a good class with it in place. I fully expect Venables to keep his pledge to rescind the commitment. At the press conference after the UT game, Venables was visibly shaken and expressed some humility. That humility was gone by early this week based on his press conferences. So far, this staff appears uninterested in shifting directions. losing Arnold would be a tremendous loss in the class. dude has been locked in for 10 months and OU only has offers out to three QBs this cycle: Malachi Nelson (who Riley was chasing for years), Arnold and Jaden Rashada who also i am guessing was an offer by the prior staff. OU didn't make his final 7. Yes, Nelson and Rashada were Riley offers. Lebby has not pursued either. As I mentioned above, OU'll be looking in the portal, regardless of Arnold because it's stupid to expect a freshman to lead a Big 12 team. that is a QB room that greatly needs some high end talent. Gabriel and Beeville, Booty (didn't realize he was unranked entirely?), Evers (who was a good get but looks as skinny as Jerrod Heard at QB which isn't good) and Arnold. Evers looks like a basketball player in body-type and because he likes to throw bounce passes. a QB room without Gabriel AND Arnold is going to be very very not good. Of course. That's the room we saw in Dallas. see i am interested to see how BV sells things. you guys are in a position where you can point to results and say "see, you can be the guy starting next year over these clowns" and offer early PT. Venables has a great history of being an excellent defensive coach and it isn't like that just goes away. guessing a lot of it is the kind of players he wants/recruits are not the kind of players the prior regime wanted/recruited on the defensive side. Good coaches are able to modify their scheme to their players skills. It's the old Bum Phillips' quote "Bryant can take his'n and beat your'n, and then he can turn around and take your'n and beat his'n." In basketball, Popovich is one the best at modifying his strategies to fit his teams (that is until he decided to ignore that 3-point line). Venables, if he were the coach he was reputed to be, would've taught his principles while molding a better defense. Instead, he's beaten down his defense and put a poor product on the field. And yet he's convinced he's doing it the right way.
  17. Timed out before edit completed -- sorry for double posting I don't know if Jackson Arnold is good or bad or in the middle. I do know that Tommy Rees (ND OC and QB coach) was bad as a QB. Ian Book is the best QB he's developed. So if Arnold aspires to that, good luck. Gabriel will probably be around for another year at OU so the Sooners may be able to take a mulligan on 2023 high school QB recruiting, if needed. Clearly, they'll need to be in the transfer portal looking for a backup for Gabriel. Also, I fully expect OU to lose commits, but I'm more worried about DL and DB commits. It's clear to everyone that OU's coaches are unable to deploy the current players well.

  19. I was hoping for Moore when he was Michigan's TE coach. I agree it would be a downgrade based on where he's got the Wolverine's OL.
  20. @Hornlover In the very next paragraph, I talk about replacing Valai and Roof. So, yeah, I get it. You'll have to show me where Bedenbaugh has put together a top OL in the last 4 years. Definitely, Rattler and Caleb Williams held the ball too long, inflating sack numbers. But OU hasn't had a dominant run game without Jalen Hurts at QB since 2019. There's been a big decline in the OL. Are there worse OL coaches out there? Definitely. Has Bedenbaugh lived up to his clippings? Not close, and it's getting worse.
  21. Versus K-St, Gabriel's third down play vs Martinez was a pivotal difference in the game. OU went 0-for 3rd and long. Nebraska went 3/6 in the same situation. Based on their performances at their prior stops and even earlier this year, I would've guessed Gabriel would've vastly out-performed Martinez in obvious passing downs. Versus TCU, Gabriel was again off-target on third down, but OU's defense getting SHREDDED made it so that it wasn't going to matter.
  22. Gabriel has at least one more year of eligibility. That said, QB isn't the biggest longterm problem. Throw Davis Beville on the 2016 to 2018 OU offenses, and OU may have kept it competitive for a half. OU's OL would have churned out enough yards to keep UT's offenses off the field more and led to a couple of legitimate drives. 2022 was Bedenbaugh's prove it year. I'm a hard out on him. The OTs have promise, but they've got other options on the interior. The OG play the last two years has been average or worse and C has been worse than that. I want to see other guys get snaps at this point. Unless I see marked improvement on the OL by year's end, Bedenbaugh needs to go. (This'll never happened of course because Lebby and Bill are tight back from when Bill recruited Lebby in high school). OU doesn't have the skill position talent they did back then, but it's still top 2-3 in the conference and probably top 20 nationally. RB has Gray who's playing the best he has at OU, which is above average. Major was looking good before an injury. Barnes looks very promising, and Sawchuk had hype in high school at least. Mims and Farooq are really good WR. They have other freshmen with talent, and Stoops and Wease deserves more touches as possession receivers. OU needs to bring down Sherrone Moore from Michigan. He's elevated the Wolverine OL since he's taken over. While your at it, get Steve Clinkscale, who's had competent DB units every year a Kentucky and Michigan. They need to donate the hundreds of thousands of dollars going to Ted Roof to charity.
  23. If Spencer Rattler is playing QB for SCar, A&M should be favored. The Gamecocks have a porous OL, and Rattler makes poor decisions under pressure (as UT fans surely remember). Leans Aggies, unfortunately.
  24. The difference is performance vs expectations. Texas wasn't coming off 8 straight top 10 finishes and wasn't getting beaten by 30 and 50 points. Plus the arrogant bullshit Venables has been spewing since his hire is being revealed as empty. One of the most interesting aspects of this is the schadenfreude that former play color commenters show. Robert Griffin (vs TCU) and that former Bama QB from Dallas (vs UT) were giddy as they were describing OU's incompetence.
  25. A bunch of people are already out on Venables. OU's got a streak of sellout crowds since 2000. That'll probably be broken this weekend vs Kansas. OU's beaten the Jayhawks 17 straight times by an average of 30 points. No margin has been less than 10 points. If Gabriel doesn't play, OU could get routed again.
