ou-sooners Stories - Crimson And Cream Machine
Losing the Point of Attack
Texas has won the battle in the trenches against the Sooners for the last several years. Generally, the defensive line on each side tends to have the advantage and I'm suspicious that both schools are/were prioritizing pass protection both in recruiting and in player development. This year OU...
Ground and Pound: How Texas Can Beat OU
The Sooners under Bob Stoops have made their hay with an aggressive, quick strike offense and physical defense that exploits known tendencies -- a combo that has led to some humiliating final scores. The offense has gone further in this direction since Kevin Wilson and Josh Heupel installed the...
Weekend Developments
No screen shots for you this week, instead I'd like to hit on a bunch of themes from the weekend. This should not have have happened. 768 yards of total offense, 600 of it rushing. Such futility is inexcusable. Kansas is not building much of a case for their program in the midst of major conference...
Reliving the Wishbone: Now and Then
I'm still curious about what else HarsinWhite 2011 has in mind for our Wildcat packages this season. The Jesus was dead on about having 2 different operators for those schemes (Shipley and Fozzy so far) and the scrimmage videos at MackBrown-texasfootball suggest that the zone-read is being utilized...
The Harsin Offense: Making Complexity a Single-edged Sword
We've heard a lot in the practice reports about how Harsin's strategies include installing a large variety of formations and looks that put too much on tape for opposing coordinators to be able to prepare for in a game week. Belichick uses this practice at New England on a regular basis and loves...
NBA Finals stakes
NBA: Some of you may have noticed I was fairly off in my predictions for the Conference finals. If you didn't read that piece, do you remember which teams lost the series while only winning 1 game apiece? Those are the teams I picked to win. One of my more egregious mistakes was in saying that the...
Coming Out Of The Shell
They say that the team that runs for more yards has won every game since 1997 in this series, but of course Scipio partially rebuts the importance of that stat in the podcast with NorthDallasSooner when pointing out the stat-padding sack that has inflated Texas' rushing defense totals every season...
Vanilla Retractable Roof
Open wide barkers, wider than the Texas passing attack Saturday cause I'm going to stick another thought or two about the Rice game down your collective pie-hole. For all our sakes we're going to focus simply on two major themes from the game; why did we see what we did? and What does it tell...
Outdated offense
Football: Texas under Greg Davis has run some of the same passing concepts with different quarterbacks generally to great effect against the rest of the league. This is the OC that made Hines Ward into a quarterback for a bowl game in which he threw for 300 yards. He installed his own version of...
Big 12 Media Day: Bob Stoops
The #2 rated Golf Prick in the Big 12 was par for the course at Big 12 Media Days. He lays up on the ninth hole... Hopefully, our guys are having a great summer. We'll find that out when we get back and start working with them. Hopefully. Because you and Jerry Schmidt haven't talked at all. I...
