PrintOklahoma Sooners at Kansas Jayhawks, Oct 24, 2009 2:30 PM CDT
The crazy way my luck works out for me, my 9year-old son is playing in a football tournament today and I'll be spending the majority of my time this afternoon watching him and following the Sooners on the BlackBerry. I'll contribute as much as possible to this thread but you'd better not expect a lot from me until a recap post later on this evening.
I don't think that it's too unrealistic to expect OU to look at the remainder of this year as a six game season. I also don't believe that it's too unrealistic to expect OU to go 6-0 the rest of the way either but it all starts here with the Jayhawks. Post you thoughts here before, during and after the game.

No DeMarco Today
Does this mean that Miller sees more action or do they just give Brown the whole load?

GO D - Quinton Carter with the pick!
Great start – now the offense has got to get something out of this
Listening on the radio
Who else started at receiver with Miller?

Watching Alabama is painful
I cannot imagine what Julio Jones and Broyles would have been like as teammates – he is an absolute monster.
Iowa State beats Nebraska
First win in Lincoln since ’77
Holy cow – Nebraska turned it over EIGHT times
Reesing is scrambling really well
and KU is mixing things up here to keep us on our heels defensively
That was a frozen rope from Jones there
I thought Kenney should have had that one, but looks like the KU defender got a hand in there.

OU started its fifth different combination of players in seven games this season. From left to right: Trent Williams, Brody Eldridge, Ben Habern, Stephen Good and Cory Brandon.
Terrible, terrible, terrible tackling
Jackson does not wrap him up and lots of others standing around
Bama struggling against UTenn
Only up 3-0 at the end of the 1st quarter – I would love to see everything BCS-related blow up with some upsets throughout the day.
TN driving - 2nd & Goal
I don;t have much faith in TN to convert – Crompton is veering towards his standard awful play
Got me a little TV time in between games
Just in time to see the pick six!

The D needed that
KU has been driving fairly well – if Reesing stops throwing the picks, we could be in trouble
Agree - didn't mean to imply it was Brown's doing
There is no where to run – I think Brown is pretty good with doing as much as possible with the little he gets, but he would have to be a magician to generate yards from the holes the o-line is opening
several shots by ABC today showed
to O-line reasonably well. It is very telling that the line cannot overpower anyone. The dudes were on their blocks and no one was moving.
Finally good pressure from teh defensive front
On a couple of the KU drives where htey had success before the INTs, the defensive front let Reesing sit in the pocket all day. Good to see them get some pressure and break things down.
Stopping by from BOTC
to wish you guys good luck. We can pick up huge ground today with an OU victory (as well as a UT win)

Sorry
But we just can’t join you in cheering for Texas.

I will never cheer the Whorns no matter what.
if they make it to the NC game, FL or AL will stomp a mudhole in them.
Caleb's Drop Killed That Drive
Nice job at not getting the punt off

Clemson leads Miami at halftime
Hmmmm – I don’t think Clemson holds on, but hard to tell this season
Hate to say this...
But I hope either:
Bradford comes back, or Blake Bell turns heads, or Drew Allen can do something.
If that's the case then we need to start playing these other guys at sometime this year.
I can see Bradford coming back. I am not saying he should or I hope, just that it is a possibility on his part.
We won’t get another Bradford type QB for quite a few years. He was awesome as a freshman(redshirt), but do you even think the others you mentioned can be as good? I don’t. So then start playing the others to get experience. I really think that given the time Sam was used to in the pocket and Jones would be fine.
It is hard to admit but the problem is the O-LINE.
Jones needs additional snaps
The INT was not his fault, he has already been blindsided on a blitz, and the defense of other teams knows they do not have to worry about the run. All told, I think he is doing a good job taking into account the situation.
Continued third-down problems on both sides of the ball
3rd down efficiency
OU 1-7
KU 5-10
The offense not getting things done and the defense better keep forcing turnovers or we are in trouble in the 2nd half
What’s up with Way on extra points? No complaints just wondering!
by OU JJ on Oct 24, 2009 4:34 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
10 recs today, although only 76 yards
Jones has hit 6 different receivers with passes today
They seem to be clicking on offense much better this half. Not sure what adjustments Wilson made besides just going to the right, but let’s keep it up.
Time to head back to little league football
Looks like OU is in control now though

Best thing through 3 quarters (besides the score)
Only 3 penalties so far
Worst thing – Stoops and Wilson’s stubborn clinging to the run game to pick up first downs on 3 and less than 5 – just throw a slant to Tennell – he looks like he has about 2 feet on the CB on that side and has been eating him alive
well I don't mind it so much since we have the lead and the D is stopping KU
If I was the coach, I would keep pounding the ball. I also would make sure I personally told the offensive line each series I was going to do so until they learned how to block somebody.
Looks like they finally started wearing them down
After that holding penalty was counteracted by the big play from Broyles, the OL seemed to actually bear down and open some holes for Brown. Hopefully that TD puts it out of reach for KU
Brown's TD moves him into 4th all-time passing Adrian Peterson
He is already in the top 10 for career scoring also.
D-line question
So this is the same question that keeps coming up – the ABC announcers just mentioned the d-line played 80 plays against UT and have played here the whole game. We are up by almost 30 – this is the perfect time to rest those guys and get some back-ups in there. You have ten full minutes to play them – get them 15 – 20 snaps. It seems like that is part of the way to develop depth.
except it makes our loss look worse
TCU is handing it to BYU at the end of the 1st quarter – hmmm – maybe all three teams that have beaten us will lose today
