I only caught a little of the OU-Auburn game live, but watched a full replay last night.
Hawkins made 3 notable plays. The scramble for a 48 yard touchdown, an intermediate throw to the sidelines on a rollout for a first down, and a really nice deep ball to Hester in 1-on-1 coverage. That's about it. Not much else you can take or good or bad from the game. He's a good downhill runner, but not that shifty when having to move laterally. Auburn did a good job of spying him and keeping him check after that early TD. He was trigger shy in the pocket (not sure what defense Auburn secondary was in) and didn't throw in traffic. His ability to not turn the ball over was big for OU to sneak out of there with a win, but their offense just looked...limited.
Defensively I didn't see anything special from OU either. Stutsman had a quiet game. Thorne had a lot of clean pockets but they couldn't connect enough with open guys down the field. Auburn had success throwing in the flats & perimeter, but Thorne really struggled throwing over the middle. At least 2 other balls could have been picked in traffic. Tigers ran the ball fairly well. Their true freshman kicker completely fucked them with missed FGs. #32 Thomas for OU had 2 huge pass rushes late to close out the game for OU.
Fucking Sooner magic. Glad they used some up in that game.
