Sooners Crush Cincinnati – Initial Thoughts

First let me say that I really hate that
“I watched it all happen. It was really hard to watch our quarterback go down and get hurt,” Gilyard said.
There was nothing malicious to that play. Grutza fought hard to stay on his feet and Sooner defenders fought hard to bring him down. The unfortunate result was a very grotesque injury.
The next thing is my general disappointment in
The problem is that the Bearcats didn’t deliver. They brought a gimmick offense to
The game wasn’t as close as what the final score would suggest. Mardy Gilyard wasn’t the only person to have a career day. Sam Bradford had a career best 395 passing yards and added five touchdowns. Ryan Broyles set a school record for an OU receiver making their debut with 141 receiving yards.
In the end
I’ll be back later with final thoughts after I’ve had a chance to process a few things but here are a few of my initial thoughts after

Wow
While I thought we played like crap for the most part, more so on offense than defense, OU impressed the crap out of me. If they can play like they played today all year, no one is beating them. They will score 35+ every game this year if they can keep healthy. That offense is just ridiculously talented.
It sucks to see Grutza injured, kind of took the wind out of my sails in the ‘we can still win the Big East (who looked like complete crap this week)’ thoughts. I don’t think anyone hurt Grutza on purpose. His leg got caught underneath him. Things like that happen in football, a lot.
Anyways, best of luck guys….. in my mind you are rooting for the best team in the country right now.

I Actually Thought Of You
When Grutza was being carted off the field.

The offense looks great but...
the defense still has some work to do. The secondary is still a work in progress and the overall tackling seems pretty shaky. Cinci was able to turn a couple short passes into big plays and it concerns me that Big 12 teams with better athletes could do the same thing if the tackling doesn’t improve. I was happy that they pretty much locked it down after they ran the kickoff back for a touchdown. It shouldn’t matter, but 52-13 would have looked better nationally than 52-26. I’m looking forward to seeing how they react to their first road game of the year this weekend.
