Oklahoma is on the road which means that I’ll be here on the game thread today. Hopefully you’ll be here with me. Every game is huge for the Sooners because one more loss and we know for sure that they’re done. This is the best team that Oklahoma has played on the road so far and even though Josh Freeman has only thrown one touchdown in the month of October we can’t expect a cakewalk.

I’m curious to see if Austin Box really does start at middle linebacker and if Manny Johnson is going to play. I would almost rather see Johnson sit this week to give his elbow another week of rest and healing. I really don’t know what to say about the middle linebacker situation. There has to be an answer there, we just haven’t seen it. How knows, maybe today!  

Official Machine Prediction: 37 -28 OU

Good luck, Sooners

If you have any last-minute questions about K-State, I’ll be around this morning.

OU — A lot
K-State — A little

May stay semi-close into the second quarter, but I think it’s going to be a lot like the Tech game…over by halftime.

I hope you are right

but I have it closer with OU pulling away in the 4th.

by ccmachine on Oct 25, 2008 10:38 AM CDT up reply actions  

I think OU takes charge

in the 3rd qtr. After we make our halftime adjustments. :-)

by scarab on Oct 25, 2008 10:47 AM CDT up reply actions  

OU 45, KSU 17

K-State scores early to get the Cat’s hopes up, thows in a field goal somewhere in the middle quarters and then scores a touchdown late whe the 2nd stringers are in. OU will score consistently with a few long sustained drives and won’t (not can’t) score at all in the 4th.

Damn that’s awful….

Man do I hate Longhorn fans, well except for the ones that actually went there.

Our defense...

…played better last week, but then again we were playing Colorado and a true freshman quarterback part of the game. They better be on this week, or it will be a productive and short day of work for Bradford, Iglesias, Johnson and Murray.

Our Defense

Gave up 1,000,000 yards to Brisco last week.

by ccmachine on Oct 25, 2008 11:20 AM CDT up reply actions  

There we go!

An interception caused by pressure on the QB

by ccmachine on Oct 25, 2008 11:47 AM CDT reply actions  

I can't believe we are

playing up against the receivers. About time.

by scarab on Oct 25, 2008 11:56 AM CDT reply actions  

What's the deal here?

another crappy poor kickoff coverage. I honestly thought that would happen today.

by scarab on Oct 25, 2008 12:07 PM CDT reply actions  

Chris Brown

Is running really well today

by ccmachine on Oct 25, 2008 12:21 PM CDT reply actions  

You guys...

…really are pitiful. Really, 28 points is all you can manage against K-State in the first quarter?

This is ugly.

Why does Murray

lie to put the his head down and smack people this year? He used to be the shifty type of guy.

Are we in for a shootout?

by scarab on Oct 25, 2008 12:28 PM CDT reply actions  

That's what we call...

…Beamer K-State Ball.

Oops

I tried to strike through Beamer there. Didn’t work.

Forget the comments about subbing

OU has their hand full at the moment. I had a feeling we wern’t going to score on the long drive.

by scarab on Oct 25, 2008 12:46 PM CDT reply actions  

Ummm

Is anyone else thinking Colorado last season?

by ccmachine on Oct 25, 2008 12:52 PM CDT reply actions  

Defense?

I am listening to the game – what is the deal with the secondary? Blown coverages? Just getting beat? A 61 yd and 77yd play? It seems like the breakdowns are coming fast and furious. Any additional insights from someone who is seeing this on TV?

by chrisabo on Oct 25, 2008 1:03 PM CDT reply actions  

My opinion

You’re bringing a lot of pressure but aren’t really getting through right now. Freeman is good as long as he doesn’t feel pressured.

by TB on Oct 25, 2008 1:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

same crap as it has been most of the year. A little bit of everything and

when we blitz, we can’t get there or Freeman find the right spot.

by scarab on Oct 25, 2008 1:06 PM CDT up reply actions  

The only problem with scoring

….is now now we have to deal with kicking off.

I hope they are scouring the entire land for a Rivals 5-star kicker recruit

The Gasman..... Scoreth

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

by scarab on Oct 25, 2008 1:26 PM CDT reply actions  

Oh Well,

62 points would have been greedy. Time for some Chex Mix and sweet tea. See you guys after the half.

by ccmachine on Oct 25, 2008 1:36 PM CDT reply actions  

Speaking of greedy - record for yards in a game

They are not quite on pace to set the record for most total yards in a game (875 yards against Colorado in 1980), but they are close if they keep up this pace.

by chrisabo on Oct 25, 2008 1:38 PM CDT reply actions  

Tech actually...

…had more yards at halftime against us than OU does in this game, but that really doesn’t make me feel any better.

Well, Now We Are Only Up By 20

Should Kevin Wilson put his foot back on the gas?

by ccmachine on Oct 25, 2008 2:25 PM CDT reply actions  

he should but my experience watching CFB

is that the O-line has a hard time turning it back up after they have backed off. With this OU O-line there is enough of a problem getting them to apply the gas in the first place.

by scarab on Oct 25, 2008 2:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

Haha

Let’s be honest, he was full of bluster when he said he was the best QB in the conference. It was just confidence talking.

But honestly, he’s pretty damn good.

He Is A Best

And that is what frustrates me. They have almost had him so many times and he still makes the play.

by ccmachine on Oct 25, 2008 2:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

There Will Be Plenty Of Complaints After This One

But the bottom line is that Oklahoma survived and is still in the hunt.
