So it sounds like you’re blaming Arkansas on Card.

I want you to think real hard on this.

Arkansas play 1 gets positive yards. I believe it was a run. Play 2 was again a run. A massive cluster which led to negative yards. After ULaLa, there were positives from Cards effort. So that Oline came out and messed their drawers from the opening play (or 2nd if you will). But the pass game was cleaned up well before Casey came in.

With good QB play, we could have won.

But make no mistake the play calling post Arkansas is more variable to start the game. Also the Oline started cleaning things up from the 2nd quarter of Arkansas on. Still too many misses, but that was cleaned up versus Tech.

These last two games are a QBs dream. Easy, easy , easy. Lots of easy throws. Fairly easy reads on many. And a run game that has defenses skeert.

Casey has done his job. He’s the starter.

But damn if we can’t give the Oline some credit. And then if we aren’t attributing it to the QB.
Sorry, but my money is on new scheme. Angilau and Jones switching spots from last year. Same with Kerstetter who also broke his damn ankle. The other two dudes are relatively inexperienced in high profile situations. And for some, maybe OZ is a big reason. Rice and Tech we had lots of hats on hats. There were times we moved the LOS several yards.

Good post.

Tech back up qb columbi? That dude put up 3 big throws.  Those throws were actually quite well placed and coverage wasn’t horrible. Pass rush needs to get there to prevent those.

Yah, those back to back TD throws were something. The one where we forced the receiver out of bounds, that one was just thrown at a good spot, and the defender tripped down the sideline, recovering just in time for Schooler to turn heel on him. The next one was just a GREAT throw. Coverage isn't bad when you're touching forearms with the guy down the field, but that Columbo or whatever dropped it right out on that receiver's fingers, where he had to chase the rabbit. It was money, sometimes you gotta just tip the cap. It's those mid-range completions I'm concerned about.

It feels good to have a QB who is playing well, and I couldn't be happier with him.

A pick isn't meaningless just because he threw it in the end zone. His pick took 3 pts and killed some of the team's momentum.

Fortunately the circumstances were such that it wasn't a big deal, but that's the kind of play that can break your back in a different situation.

I took the time to poop this out in another thread so ill repost it here:

Colorado (5 drives, 4 TD and a FG) *scores on 5-5 drives*

1. Robinson runs for 66 yards, Casey hits Moore for the TD

2. 7 plays, 80yds TD pass to Moore again

3. 6 plays, 43 yds, FG

4. 6 plays, 75 yds, TD pass to Bijan

5. 2 plays, 75 yds, 73 yd TD pass to Dixon

Lousiana (2 drives, TD and a FG) *scores on 2-2 drives*

1. 10 plays, 75 yds, TD pass to J Whitt

2. 6 plays, 18 yds, FG

3. doesn't count, just running the ball to run out the clock in a blowout

Arkansas (2 drives, 2 TDs) *scores on 2-2 drives*

1. 10 plays, 75 yds, rush for the TD

2. 14 plays, 75 yds, rush for the TD

Rice (8 drives, 7 TDs) *scores on 7-8 drives*

1. 9 plays, 69 yds, TD

2. threw an interception

3. 3 plays, 80 yds, TD (just running plays this drive)

4. 6 plays, 65 yds, TD

5. 5 plays, 89 yds, TD

6. 5 plays, 62 yds, TD pass to Wiley

7. 5 plays, 44 yds, TD pass to Worthy

8. 3 plays, 84 yds, TD

Tech (9 drives, 8 TDs) *scores on 8-9 drives*

1. 10 plays, 75 yds, TD pass to Bijan

2. 9 plays, 80 yds, TD

3. 12 plays, 75 yds, TD rush

4. 6 plays, 40 yds, TD pass to Worthy

5. 9 plays, 84 yds, TD 

6. threw an interception

7. 2 plays, 7 yds, TD pass to Whitt

8. 6 plays 87 yds, TD pass to Worthy

9. 3 plays 75 yds, TD pass to Worthy

So 

Colorado (5 drives, 4 TD and a FG) *scores on 5-5 drives*

Lousiana (2 drives, TD and a FG) *scores on 2-2 drives*

Arkansas (2 drives, 2 TDs) *scores on 2-2 drives*

Rice (8 drives, 7 TDs) *scores on 7-8 drives*

Tech (9 drives, 8 TDs) *scores on 8-9 drives*

Scores on 24 of 26 drives with 22 TDs and 2 FGs

Really he threw two meaningless picks, but it's a pick for every 11 TDs or every 12 scores. 

That seems good. 
 

Is that good?

Scores on 24 of 26 drives.  Still a little room for improvement.

That is the attitude we have needed for a long time.  It's not about winning.  It's about absolutely crushing the opposition.  What a fucking savage.

I wonder how much we would have won by at Arky had Casey started.

The way the hogs are playing right now I'm not convinced it would have changed the W-L column, (especially in their home pigpen) but I AM convinced we don't get scoreboard embarrassed with Casey starting the game.

I agree with just Casey starting.

Casey named starter back in spring ball however and I think we blow ULL out and do end up winning vs Arky.

Did ou offer Casey a scholarship?

Yes.. they offered early. They signed Cameron Rising instead. Texas flipped Rising and the world thought Casey would go to OU, but OU never circled back around for Casey and signed Tanner Mordeci. He was offered, but I do not think he was ever really recruited by OU

You are right. People thought it wasn't committable since Cam Rising was committed to them. Once Rising flipped, OU started pushing for him. Herman did an amazing job of keeping both committed to us.

my memory maybe off, but I dont think Riley ever pushed for him.  I thought it was widely expected, but never happened. Why I think Casey will be pretty amped, because my read was that he was never really recruited by OU

Casey visited OU on September 27. There were rumors Riley was making a last minute push but that was out of desperation rather than prioritizing him from the beginning.

I am too lazy to dig up the what happened towards the end of his recruitment. If you want to claim that he wasn't pursued by OU at the end, then you can have it but that's not what I remember. :)

in the end, it doesnt matter. Though my story would be much more fun to tell after a W in Dallas. Feel free to add Riley offered him as a Safety, if you want

Here is the quote that says Riley wanted him to flip. For whatever reason, he stuck with us and for that I am a big fan.

"Thompson was given every chance to flip, too. Lincoln Riley texted. An Alabama coach came to watch Thompson practice. Oregon interrupted Thompson's prom to offer a scholarship via text. Ole Miss, Auburn and Arkansas joined a chase that once included Clemson, Miami, Ohio State and Florida State."
