Oklahoma St. Cowboys @ Oklahoma Sooners GameThread, Nov 28, 2009 11:30 AM CST

I know it sounds crazy, but AD had so much raw talent backed by hard work and determination, but Murray seems to will himself through situations that AD would have overcome with raw talent. Does that make any sense?

by chrisabo on Nov 28, 2009 12:57 PM CST up reply actions

a defensive struggle. first team to 21 points wins

yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

I'm optimistic for Jones, but looking forward to see Blake Bell run the ball

by inocybe on Nov 28, 2009 12:55 PM CST reply actions

I am glad we didn't have to try and score from the 1

by scarab on Nov 28, 2009 12:55 PM CST reply actions

Ditto

by inocybe on Nov 28, 2009 12:56 PM CST reply actions

It would have been

Jones in the shotgun, breakdown in blocking, scramble and down probably at the 7.

by scarab on Nov 28, 2009 12:57 PM CST up reply actions

then a false start on 3rd down to move it to 12

and then Tennell drops a pass in the end zone and we shank a FG

by chrisabo on Nov 28, 2009 12:58 PM CST up reply actions

Great coverage

by scarab on Nov 28, 2009 12:59 PM CST reply actions

Anybody know the starters on the O-line today?

Good LT

OSU has only four road games this year?

Nope, another holiday bowl thrashing if they head west…

I think OU still has more points than OSU punts... 10-9

by inocybe on Nov 28, 2009 1:24 PM CST reply actions

That throw by Jones was with 4 pokes in the area

by inocybe on Nov 28, 2009 1:28 PM CST reply actions

he takes a lot of chances

good catch by reynolds

Yup all season people complaining that OSU had 8 home games.

lOSUr is so lame on that part

Jones has to read the corner blitz but he throws away from it

we need more play action

2 hour 1st half

Feature on Corey Wilson and his rehab

Corey Wilson Making the Journey

They said he walked out on the field before the game

Yes, saw that before the game. Very moving.

Lots of orange in the stands makes me mad

Loved the effort of the defense in the first half. I’d like to see at least one more OU school to feel good about this. Despite the orange in the stands the crowd has been very loud.

by ccmachine on Nov 28, 2009 1:51 PM CST via mobile reply actions

very loud

could you hear the noise during lOSUr’s last offensive series? deafening.

by scarab on Nov 28, 2009 1:55 PM CST up reply actions

Great dodge by Jones, and a catch by Kenney!

by inocybe on Nov 28, 2009 1:56 PM CST reply actions

that was too close

by scarab on Nov 28, 2009 1:57 PM CST reply actions

Ugh... two poor throws by Jones, he's lucky no INT

how in the hell did that happen

But Good grabs someones facemask

bad move on Gasman's part

I say take the 3 points with the way the D is playing

That was a looooong drive (time-wise)

If your trying to get ’em to jump off sides it helps to get under center

what a bunch of crap by Wilson

more run up the middle stuff

Can Wilson try Hannah here so close?

Forget that

but I wil take that run up the middle

Well... Murry with the nice cut back

by inocybe on Nov 28, 2009 2:23 PM CST reply actions

YES!

Murray – 2 TDs – huge lane – I could have gained a couple yards with that open space…

it would be soooooooo nice to skunk the lOSUr’s

Not sure I get that call

A slant to Broyles seems more likely to pick up the 1st down.

ya think

didn’t occur to Wilson or LJ

Again, Jones behind the receiver

I thought that his accuracy would improve by now, but he still seems to be off. I did not realize how spoiled we had gotten with Bradford’s accuracy.

What is it with special teams? Last year KO coverage, this year FGs suck

by inocybe on Nov 28, 2009 2:44 PM CST reply actions

I take Broyles out for the rest of this game

after that shot he took on the punt return, I think you have to rest him and not take a chance of him being injured for the bowl game. At this point, get some other players some additional reps and give someone a shot on the PR. I would think the coaches would want to get some seasoning for the younger players in case we have injuries next year.

can the D preserve the shutout?

Broyles has outgained the whole OSU team

3 to 1 – one more sack or TFL and OSU will end up with less than 100 yards on the day.

Him and Broyles next year will help

Isn't Broyles going pro? He's been around 3 years no?
