Bradford warmup intrigue
Bradford warming up, but is something awry?

Never mind - Tim Griffin has overactive imagination
Bradford finally starting his passing work

How strong is Baylor's d-line?
Because we are not getting much push against them on running plays, although we seem to be holding up early in pass protection.
Watching 'Bama-Ole Miss
It sure would have been nice to have convinced Julio Jones to have come to school. He lacks a solid QB and we lack a solid receiver – it would have worked out well for both parties.
Bama is only up 3-0 at end of 1st Q
but Jones is starting to take over – he is so big and even injured has serious speed
that is what it looks like
but I would throw throw throw and throw again till those guys finally get it. Catch the ball.
I don't think some of these guys
want this game as bad as Sam does. Way to many penalties, dropped passes on offense and the D looks worse than OU’s anemic offense
Good job on reading that play by Clayton
Maybe the offense can respond and give us some breathing room
they are doing a fine job doing that so far in this game
i think they were thinking “why wait until net week?”
OMG
Who was that? We are doomed…..
Our secondary is going to get eaten alive by Shipley and McCoy next week.
they caught that one
I hate to be negative about our team, however I am a realist in just about everything I do. After watching everything this year it appears that this OU team is snake bit.
Watching the highlights from the Bama-Ole Miss gme shows what our defense is missing
I’d term it toughness – we are soft
Great call by Briles or just continued crappy D by us?
I could not see who that was, but the player got hung up by 14 cutting in front f him – you gotta get through that guy or we need to be smart enough to switch coverage and not leave that guy uncovered
So, why are we throwing passes into the flat
to the “track guy”? Why are we not using him to stretch the field?
Defense holds
but I gotta think that play becomes a first down against a team with better athletes, say, hmmmm….. UT
When OU blitzes they telegraph it so well
the UT is seeing it right now in their sleep. It always ends with a pass over the middle for whatever amount of yards the receiver wants
Even when we do something positive
we gotta make sure we throw in a little negative – I did not see what McCoy did to get the penalty, but cripes….
TES @ BON - I wouldn't say we are dreading next week
Just preparing for it mentally so that the evisceration is less noticed as it happens
Our kick coverage seems to have taken a step back this week also
It seems like the kicks have been shorter and as a consequence the returns are longer.
Good point on TV about our lack of depth on defense
we can cover that against Baylor, but again, by this same point in the RRS we are going to be giving up big plays (and not getting lucky on non-calls on a clear pass interference)
DeMarco showing some toughness with these runs
but, man, the o-line
the problem is not solved by putting the ball in Sam’s hands b/c the problem is when it leaves his hands and gets dropped
Stoops' strategy in RZ
He wanted to make sure that Jimmy Stevens had lots of practice in case the RRS came down to a game-winning FG attempt
Again - injured Baylor QB misses open receiver
against anyone else with better athletes, that is a TD against Jackson
sure is. Jackson was lucky and Venables didn't even look pleased with the Oskie,
because Venables knew his D man blew it again
Man, reading these comments sounds like a funeral happened
First, some good things.
Offense: Miller and Tennel showed up. Two different TEs made catches. I like seeing Murray catching passes downfield. Bradford looked pretty good throwing the ball around for the most part. No turnovers.
Special teams: 4 FGs, nice punt returns.
Defense: Shut down the running game. Caused two turnovers. Give up 7 pts.
I didn’t anticipate Bradford would make a big difference, but he does: 389 yds, TD, 0 INTs.
I’m looking forward to next week’s game. If Texas plays one half of football like they have for several games this year, OU will beat ’em.
No, funeral is next week (j/k)
I try not to get too down on the team, but I just think when the athletes are equal, we are in trouble and I know Texas will bring better athletes than Baylor and thus we are going to struggle.
I do think it was good to see some WRs stepping up and making catches, but they also dropped some balls that should have been caught and that will kill us next week. The o-line – I am not going there.
Why didn’t Wilson go to the TEs more, especially try something to them in the RZ? We just seem out of synch in the RZ.
And I have to say that my favorite player is DeMarco Murray. He ran like a man possessed – he showed toughness on several runs and also never quits on runs. The lack of getting any push or opening any holes in the interior makes me think we are in for a long day next week though as there were lots of runs where we could not get the corner and I expect that will also be true next week.
I don’t mean to sound so down – trust me – I would be sooo glad to see us win, but if we miss opportunities like we did in this game and Texas capitalizes on the ones that Baylor missed we lose and it is not even a contest.
were at the game and not able to see everything we saw, were you unable to hear or see live broadcasts?
The Sooners won the game ,,,, but this did not look pretty and from the television view it showed an offense that was so far out of sync.
Our D continues to be exposed. Telegraphing blitzes that Ray Charles could read, so open in the middle that and old man in a wheelchair could get open, blown coverages that only Britney Spears could raise more eyebrows. Sooner Fans, all of you, get this: UT will not beat us in the run game. Colt McCoy is their only runner. Colt McCoy can beat the hell out us when he reads the telegraphed blitz, the dinking in the wide open middle, and striking the Sooner secondary with a few well placed deep balls. None of these things have been improved upon since the opening game. What the D is doing is pretty much set in from training and performance in the games.
The offense, don’t count on red zone improvements. These guys look like they are in the twilight zone. I can hear that music now! :-)
To the guy sitting in section 19
Somewhere around rows 16-18, middle of the section, you are an idiot!
That is unless everytime you opened your mouth you were just joking. If that’s the case you are annoying.

Wasn't me
Colorado up on Texas early 7-0 with mix of good KO return, running, and passing, and Texas penalty.
