that I won't give credit where it is due. I don't like Venables. Now that we have that piece of blatant obviousness out of the way...
His game plan in the first half was outstanding. The best I have ever seen from him in a big game. I was a bit chagrined when we got away from the constant pressure in the 2nd half, but the D still shut them down for the most part. 16 points for texass should be a victory for OU.
Some will blame this on Wilson. Not his fault either. There was some conservative playcalling, and that dive play that they shut down EVERY TIME WE RAN IT should have never been called after the end of the 1st Q. But as a whole, the playcalling was pretty good.
The weakness of our OL was a glaring liability today, and no doubt figured into the play selection by KW. The receivers showed up and made some decent plays. They missed a couple too, but that happens to every team every game.
No, this loss is due to one reason, and one reason only. For whatever reason, the Football Gods have decided that OU will have a mediocre year this year. No other reason than that. The ridiculous number of injuries to key personnel, the BS ref calls and non-calls, the goofy way the football bounces have all conspired to rob OU of that special season that we all expected.
Aside from the red zone performance, it was a good game. Good job by the coaches, good job by the players, and I am just as proud of this team as I have always been. When Sam went down, they could have hiked up their skirts and mailed it in. They didn't. They hung tough and gave texass all they wanted.
In the end, the loss of Sam, the weakness of the OL, and the fickle moods of the Football Gods were just too much to overcome no matter how big the fight in the dog was.
BOOMER SOONER!!
