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

Anyone at the game who can verify this?

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

He just limped off the field
I imagine he is done for the day

Nice pass there
Kenney with good reception

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.
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:05 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Bradford can still put the rock on the spot
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 3:06 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
and the recievers need to catch everything tossed their way
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 3:07 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I coudln't tell if the DB got his hand in there
or if Kenney dropped that last pass on 3rd down
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
TOP so far is not good
14:02 – BU 3:57 – us
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:22 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Red zone = still equals awful
Combination of play-calling and execution not good
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:28 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
I guess if the receivers are going to keep dropping balls
we might as well try running
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:30 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
that is what it looks like
but I would throw throw throw and throw again till those guys finally get it. Catch the ball.
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 3:38 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 3:32 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Good job on reading that play by Clayton
Maybe the offense can respond and give us some breathing room
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:36 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Holy cow
was that one of our receivers with YAC like that?
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:42 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
this O-line is going to get themselves emabarrsed and Bradford hurt
against UT
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 3:45 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
they are doing a fine job doing that so far in this game
i think they were thinking “why wait until net week?”
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Also, the D needs to step up here
Gotta remember – this is the 3rd string QB
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:49 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
OMG
Who was that? We are doomed…..
Our secondary is going to get eaten alive by Shipley and McCoy next week.
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:50 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 3:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I just figured out what this dfense is lacking
intensity.
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 3:56 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Watching the highlights from the Bama-Ole Miss gme shows what our defense is missing
I’d term it toughness – we are soft
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 4:31 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 3:57 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
So, why are we throwing passes into the flat
to the “track guy”? Why are we not using him to stretch the field?
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 4:01 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
That's five dropped passes
I bet we hit double digits on drops
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 4:01 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
on that last TV shot of Stoops
I bet he was saying ‘where the hell is my football team?’
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 4:30 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Actually, I thin he was asking
“Why did my brother leave me with this crappy D?”
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 4:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think Jackson got a homer call on that coverage
He was early and hanging on him
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 4:34 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Not enough pressure
Baylor’s QB s getting time and that is going to come back to bite us
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 4:43 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Defense holds
but I gotta think that play becomes a first down against a team with better athletes, say, hmmmm….. UT
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 4:48 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 4:50 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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

FGs won't win the RRS
If we can’t get in the end zone while in the RZ, no way we even keep it close
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 4:59 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
RRS looks very dismal for us
I hope it rains like it did the other night in Columbia, Mo.
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 5:02 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 5:02 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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)

Franks turns out to be a good return man
Not a fireball full of speed but he does get some yards..
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 5:04 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Baylor gave up 165 rushing last week to Kent State
We only have 99 so far with :50 left in 3Q
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 5:09 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 5:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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

Field goal
I thoguht I woudl just get it out fo the way early

Miracles
Tennell with the catch and first down
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 5:38 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Again - injured Baylor QB misses open receiver
against anyone else with better athletes, that is a TD against Jackson
by chrisabo on Oct 10, 2009 5:50 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
sure is. Jackson was lucky and Venables didn't even look pleased with the Oskie,
because Venables knew his D man blew it again
by scarab on Oct 10, 2009 5:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
take care - i'll miss the RRS next week
hold down the fort during the onslaught

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.
by inocybe on Oct 10, 2009 6:12 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
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.
