I grade 90-100 -A
89-80 -B
79-70 -C
69- 60- D
59 and below F
Offense-
QB-Bradford gets a 95,had to give him room to go up.
RB-The by committee attack gets a 85,inconsitency in running,lack of true recieving threat out of the backfield,need better blitz pickup.All this can and will improve as the season goes on.
TEs and WRs- rate around 82,too many dropped passes,poor blocking at times,evidenced by holding calls.
OL- Ballyhooed as nation's best,not quite there yet.An 87 score indicates that pass blocking is excellent,runblocking is inconsistant,too many penalties.
Playcalling-Excellent,maintaining good balance.Bob has lossened the reins,score is 93.
Overall offensive score 88.4 -B+
Defense
DL- Inconsistent is the key word here.On both run and pass rush OU's D-line varys from dominant to mediocre.Since it has been good enough to win I'm going 82 here.
LBs- Strength of the D,but thin depthwise and inconsistant on pass coverage-85.
DBs-Thought to be a strength before the year,has been the least consistent unit on the team.Time and again coverage busts occur,too often chances for big plays are missed-75. First caveat to note,OU has seen great passers in McCoy,Smith,.Good outings against Danniel,Harrell could raise score.Second thing to consider is inconsistent pass rush puts more pressure on DBs.Score -77 (barely above average at this point).
Defensive playcalling-above average for the most part-busts and missed plays,tackles not withstanding -84
Overall Defensive average- 80.8 - B-
Specail teams
Kicking-Hartley started lke a house on fire,has cooled considerably.His KOs are coming up short,FGs and XPs are becoming an adventure.Score I give is 82,would be lower but is based on all 6 games,not just last 2.
Punting - Cohen has been steady but not spectacular-85,aolid B
Coverages and returns-Punt returns have been terrible,coverage good.Kickoff returns excellent,coverage-average. 77-C+
Overall special teams score-81.3-B-
SOONERS OVERALL SCORE-(O avg +D avg+STavg,divide by 3)-82.4-B-.
I am kind of startled that I sored OU so low overall BUT this IS an HONEST attempt on my part to evaluate where we are at midseason.My B- tells me that IMHO we are playing OK but ubderachiving given OUr talent.
