Wildhorsepig

[SoonerSoph]

What are your thoughts on OU running the wildcat? I've heard a few times from the coaches and sites that we will run it this year.

IMHO it doesn't make too much sense not to snap it to a Heisman Trophy winner.

IMHO it could be really effective in certain situations, especially with options such as Murray/Brown/Madu/Calhoun/Broyles.

IMHO I can't decide whether to like it or not.

:pop:

[Crucifax Autumn]

I think the fact that we have a Heisman QB would only add to the effectiveness since the defense wouldn't expect it.

[badger]

I would not mind the horsepigs being wild, because then it would mean that they're somewhere else and not caged in the Schooner.

[Curly Bill]

I'm all for it.

Even good teams can run stuff out of the ordinary to give themselves some versatility.

[OK2U]

Direct snap to Murray back in '07 wasn't very successful.

[JLEW1818]

more Murray/Broyles

[CK Sooner]

Direct snap to Murray back in '07 wasn't very successful.

Didn't we run it just one time......

:confused:

[SoonerSoph]

Ya if I remember correctly it was fairly succesful too.

Ya if I remember correctly it was fairly succesful too.

that's how i remember it. i can't remember the game though, seems it was pretty late in the season at home knocking on the South end zone, then he got hurt in Lubbock and we didn't see him again til last year

hopefully he won't be on KO teams and can stay healthy this year

[SoonerSoph]

so what's your opinion about it?

Honestly... Percy Harvin thrived in the wildcat last year against our defense. I see no problem with mixing things up. It gives opponents one more thing to study and be ready for.

I think you get the ball in our playmakers hands as much as possible. Whether it's via handoff, pass, or direct snap.

[SoonerSoph]

that's how i remember it. i can't remember the game though, seems it was pretty late in the season at home knocking on the South end zone

I'm almost positive it was against aTm. I believe that game they had some d-bag d-back with dreads that took a couple of cheap shots.

[o0Dan0o]

so what's your opinion about it?

I'm more concerned if his opinions are humble or not...

The "wild whatever" is an attempt to get your best players on the field at the same time. It's a glaring condemnation in the ability of the QB if he is not considered one of your best players. The SOONERS do not have that problem and I highly doubt we will see a wild-Sooner or wild-horespig.

We did run a wild-Sooner from game 4 of 1970 until around 1989 - it was called the Wishbone.

So Percy Harvin running wild on our D was a condemnation of Tim Tebow?

Demarco Murray running it in 07 is a condemnation of Sam Bradford?

The ""wild whatever"" is an attempt to create mismatches and freeze LBs and give you an extra blocker.

It's not going to be used more than a couple times this year if at all. I doubt that would really be a condemnation of Sam.

[Curly Bill]

I don't think running the wildcat or anything of the like is anything against Sam or anyone else.

It's partly been due to our arrogance to avoid doing "tricked up" stuff like this that has made our recent bowl record what it is, because our opponents have not shown such reluctance to do some of these things.

Curly Bill, you say it much better than I do.

[BoomerJ]

Why not have Bradford checking off at the line all Peyton Manning like, and while it appears he's communicating with a tackle, hike the ball to Murray who takes off for a 20 yard gain.

[the_ouskull]

Badg already gave the answer that should have ended this thread. Why is there still discussion happening?

[LawtonBoy74]

If we do the wildcat I say we bring it out in the Idaho St. game, and trickle it in later on during the season... I just honestly think it may give us a little more of an edge but when you have a team as stacked as ours you really dont have to trick the defense

[yermom]

i think that line of thinking gets us into trouble. of course vanilla works to beat the bad teams, but when you stray from that against comparable teams but aren't used to it you aren't going to execute as well

[TXBOOMER]

I think we should run it. Better yet I like the play boise ran for two. I like DM isolated in space against a linebacker. Either way, we should save it for a time when we need it or to run the score up on texass.

I'm just gonna let the Percy Harvey comment slip as you obviously are just trying to prove you know something about football to obtain the elusive SF.com Street Cred. :D

Thing is this....Since Bob Stoops has been Coach...how many plays like that have you seen him try?

I'm not sure what the percentage of successful plays like that are...but I just having watched every game since he's been here...I'm leaning toward less then 50%.

Given those percentages are in the ballpark...I'd answer your original question with...FAT CHANCE. Bob likes putting in good plays and schooling his opponent. He likes putting up numbers for players who might be in the running for another Heisman also.

You should have stopped your original post here...and then never posted again IMO...

Yeah, going to war with you sounds fine. It will give me something to do on days that don't start with Satur. I don't mind being Red Speked. As I've said before, I figure it's a positive to be red on a Sooner board.

[SoonerSoph]

Ok?

Because I used his success taking direct snaps in the National Championship Game as a reason OU might consider running the Wildcat, you're going to peg me as a Percy Harvin lover?

I believe in your original response you told me I should never post again.

After I gave an opinion in favor of OU running the Wildcat, citing Percy Harvin as an example of how the Wildcat can be effective.

[StoopTroup]

You do realize that you started this thread right?

I responded and you started in with some BS about 30,000 posts.

It was constructive criticism.

You don't want to take it...fine.

You think your gonna get by me or any others on this board with posts like your spewing....good luck.

I, like any of you would, did not appreciate being told never to post again after posting no personal attacks at anyone. Which caused me to post a personal attack :O.

I'm a junior now at OU, and have been to every home game since the first game of 2000. So I definitely know my Bob Stoops era football and have never claimed expertise outside of that. I grew up in Norman and am the biggest OU fan I know. I appreciate having a board like this to let loose every once in awhile and talk about OU.

I meant no disrespect to anyone and if I n00b up again let me know. But I'd appreciate it not involving words like wanting me to never post here again.

spek some here's red

[Dan Thompson]

I think we should also run the little jump pass that Tebow runs sometimes.

It would have come in handy on the 4 and goal after the run failed on 3 and goal.

Fake the same hand off with Sam running towards the line like Tebow and jump pass to...

Our Coaching Staff might surprise us this year with something but my guess is that unless we get in a real tight spot...you won't see very many of them.

The ""wild whatever"" is an attempt to create mismatches and freeze LBs and give you an extra blocker.

It's not going to be used more than a couple times this year if at all. I doubt that would really be a condemnation of Sam.

If you think that the ball in Sam's hand and five receivers doesn't create a mismatch and freeze LB's, then I suggest you go watch some more game film. Just sayin'.
