I think texas might be the best team in the country RIGHT NOW.. Stoops will make us better because of the texas game we will get even better and we are darned good now.. I don't think there is another team in the country who could have scored 45 points against us even with the bad calls so I have to give them credit but I HATE tEXASS!!!!

They are definitely the top team in the country at this point...but they do have there flaws: Secondary the most glaring. With that said, they are definitely beatable. But if they shore up there pass D, then watch out.

I disagree completely with this idea. What are the whorns offensive weapons? You don't think a coach will figure out how to realize they aren't that great at running, you need to hit Colt hard and, if he is throwing, it is going to 1 of 2 players 90% of the time?

Defense? Muschamp may not like stats, but I bet he doesn't enjoy looking at some of the things that happened Saturday. They have holes, big time, and if Missouri is willing to scrap the running game and air it out all day, they will give the horns fits.

I don't know who is the best, but beating the whorns seems simple, if you have the talent. Throw the ball a lot and stop three guys on offense.

I think maybe you are allowing your dislike of texass get in your way here.. We tried that all day and we are DARNED GOOD... Mo. may win I hope they do but IF they do it will be because they had a let down last week and texas has one against them.. We are better than Mo. and we couldn't stop texas's offense..

Jordan Shipley was a record setting Texas high school player, and one of the highest ranked WRs coming out of Texas when he graduated IIRC.

He has been hurt a lot, but I was more surprised to find out people didn't think much of him. He is nails. Never drops balls, never gets called for flags, and is a great blocker. He holds our field goals, too, which gives us great felxibility, and as far as football IQ goes, he is the man.

Talent has never been the question. Scheme? That's another story.

I have all the faith in the world in Brian Jackson and Franks to play some man to man. Keep mixing it up. Do the same thing and even Greg Davis can figure out..."hmmm...the middle of the field from the LOS to about ten yards downfield is wide open!" That never changed apparently since the whorns scored 25 points on their last four possessions.

We are averaging 46 points a game...

The RBs are problematic, it was Chris' first shot to start as the premiere back, and I thought he did fine against a good run D, which got hurt late. Sorry to hear about #8(Reynolds?), kills me when players get hurt. In this game especially, the same reason I was pumped to see Granger return; have to beat OU at full strength to make the loudest statement.

Colt is completing 79.4% of his passes. So whatever he is doing, its working.

I was under the impression we played a real D this weekend. I hope that is just your frustration and not the truth. I was happy to think we had thumped a very good defense.

I'm not as sold on Mizzou or Oklahoma State as I was three days ago. They both have terrible defenses and they combined only scored 51 points. I don't see Mizzou scoring that much on us.

We all hoped this would be the year we avoided the defensive meltdowns we've experienced a couple of times each year since Mike Stoops left. Sadly this is not the year, and I fear it won't be until Venables is gone, and the problem with that is no one thinks Bob will get rid of or demote him.

Mizzou scares me, as do Tech, Ok State and Kansas(to a lesser extent). Any of those teams could beat us, but coming into this week, I thought for sure Mizzou would be expected to. I don't think that is the case any longer, and for good reason.

He has trouble when pressured. One of the reasons I've been reluctant to get behind Daniels as elite was the fact that they only played two teams last year. One, a decent Kansas which didn't have to play OU or Texas and didn't even belong on the field with Mizzou, and then they played yall twice. And couldn't manage to prove they belonged in any part of either game.

Anyway, I'm pretty much going to worry to death about every game we play. mizzou could very well beat us, but my feeligns on the situation have changed since the loss to Okie State.

I am sure he is quite ready to come out and make up for that loss in his home state gaianst the team "that passed on him"

I think yall's did got tired which is what opened up the run game. And the Texas D played great. You guys offense was very good early but got completely shut down in the 4th quarter. And you guys are not giving us enough credit. Texas has a great offense. Shipley and Quan are both very good WRs and Colt is one of the best QBs in the country. Also we have one of the best OLines in the nation. The O knew what they wanted to do and did it. And the Texas D deserves credit too. Yall have a very good OLine but Kindle and Orakpo were excellent all game.

Mizzou is gonna have trouble with the Texas pass rush. And they won't be able to stop the Texas O at home. It will be a good game but I think the final will be around 42-31 or something close to that.

Call me crazy, but Texas's offense is not all that spectacular. Coming into Big XII league, OU will face two offenses as good or better than Texas: Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. I will even so far as to say that Missouri's offense is better than Texas's.
Texas has Shipley. We couldn't stop him and therefore we lost. Texas's defense surprised me immensely and got the job done in the fourth quarter.
When we play Oklahoma State we will face a VERY balanced attack. Zac Robinson can run the ball better than Colt McCoy. Kendall Hunter can run better than all of Texas and Oklahoma's running backs combined. Dez Bryant is better than Quan Crosby. I doubt their O line is as good as Texas's, but they have wonderful skill players--as does Texas Tech and Missouri.

Texas might have a top 15 offense, but fault goes to our defense. If we don't shape up we will lose to a MUCH better Oklahoma State team.

I want a rematch- that game reminded me of the Nebraska OU 35-30 greatest game ever played.

I was impressed with the Texas Oline- Pressure the QB is essential and we were not able to do it --- especially when we went to 3 down players.

Momentum was key- Texas hit back every opportunity they had- and were the underdogs... Next time I think it could be a different outcome.

Venables is running out of excuses- regardless of if he is a good coach- this is Oklahoma and we need to step up on D in a big game aside from Mizzou once in a while..

I disagree completely with this idea. What are the whorns offensive weapons? You don't think a coach will figure out how to realize they aren't that great at running, you need to hit Colt hard and, if he is throwing, it is going to 1 of 2 players 90% of the time?

Defense? Muschamp may not like stats, but I bet he doesn't enjoy looking at some of the things that happened Saturday. They have holes, big time, and if Missouri is willing to scrap the running game and air it out all day, they will give the horns fits.

I don't know who is the best, but beating the whorns seems simple, if you have the talent. Throw the ball a lot and stop three guys on offense.

You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't scheme right you can't win against a good team that is playing well. It wasn't rocket science, folks. We weren't facing Norm Chow. This was Greg Davis, as maligned as any assistant in college football when he doesn't have VY there to zone read. He saw a flaw. He exposed it.

Call me crazy but Texas has a damn good offense led by one of the best QBs in the country. Ok. Stae, Tech, and Mizzou, all have very good offenses as well (Who has a better one is debateable) but to say Texas doesn't have one of the best Os in the country is asinine. And Greg Davis has been criticized but look at what he has done with Texas. He has consistently produced a top 15 offense almost every year. He was much maligned because he has been afraid to go for it in the past but he went for it yesterday and it worked. Anf you act like Shipley and Cosby are scrubs when they have been two of the most productive WRs in America this year and have been very good in years past when given the oppurtuninty. Texas has a very legit O and your D struggled but to say Texas wasn't good and isn't good is ridiculous and only is said because you are pissed off at how good they were when you thought they didn't stand a chance.

And Greg Davis has been criticized but look at what he has done with Texas. He has consistently produced a top 15 offense almost every year. He was much maligned because he has been afraid to go for it in the past but he went for it yesterday and it worked. Anf you act like Shipley and Cosby are scrubs when they have been two of the most productive WRs in America this year and have been very good in years past when given the oppurtuninty. Texas has a very legit O and your D struggled but to say Texas wasn't good and isn't good is ridiculous and only is said because you are pissed off at how good they were when you thought they didn't stand a chance.

Greg Davis went for it? You guys made a living throwing 5-6 yard passes that we were too ignorant to adjust to and cover. Don't confuse our DC's cluelessness with Greg Davis going for it, or you guys having a great offense, or for that matter your WR's being very good.

Yea he went for it. If you have watched our O you know that we threw more deep balls yesterday then we have all season and the big thing was he didn't give up on the run game.

How is not giving up on the run game "going for it?"

...and how many deep balls did you throw? 1 or 2.

Because for the first time in a while he realized that we could run the ball on you and he did it. More often than not GD has not been one to let the RB go and finish the game in a close game. He saw a weakness and exploited it late in the game. And we threw deep 3 or 4 times if I remember correctly and we have not thrown deep that many times in a game since Limas Sweed was healthy in 2006

He means it's not very complicated and yet we still couldn't defend the damn thing.

Yeah, I thought we would dust off one of the game plans from the Brad Smith mizzery, VY I, or any of the tech affairs and shut them down. Contain the QB, keep the ball in front of you, and make the tackle.

Oh well.

I'm not worried at all. The whole world thought that Oklahoma, Georgia, USC were all going to go undefeated. Teams will lose, its just how it is. And I still think a 1 loss Oklahoma can sneak into the championship game.

****. We might be ranked number 1 going into the big 12 championship, what would we have been if we didn't lose to Tech last year? number 1, with one loss.

I know Texas would have to lose 2 games for that to happen but still

This is not Texas best team of the decade. I'd take both rose bowl teams over this year. Colt will die down

You did not beat us with the deep ball. You beat us in the slot - 5/8 yds off the LOS over and over and over again. Heck, if we would have brought the safeties up to cover the middle and then gotten beat deep, at least I would have understood our scheme. But to let Shipley pitch tent in the same place over and over again...look, congratulations to you guys...but this was a failure to adjust by Venables.
