How Many Runs Right Into The Pile In The 4th Q...

[noobalicious]

...is it going to take for Kevin Wilson to realize that strategy doesn't work?

[CrimsonJim]

Learn how to enjoy a win... :rolleyes:

[sooner KB]

How many games are you going to have watch to come to the realization that teams need to run the clock in the fourth quarter, and that the defense knows that and stacks the box, usually resulting in a "pile"?

[JLEW1818]

28-20 Sooners

How many times you going to leave a pile of poop on the board after a win before you realize that strategy doesn't work?

I know that. So why not do something a little different? Believe me I am happy about our win! However, I can see this whole not moving the ball in the 4Q coming back to bite us sometime in the future...

[StoopTroup]

What was our record this time last year?

[CrimsonJim]

What is our record THIS year? :D

Well, I mean you can't TRY to be balanced it you don't run. Demarco still had over 100 yards :D deal w/ it.

[AlbqSooner]

These ****in Negative Nellies need to visit Bolivia Ima thinkin :rolleyes:

They are like the kid watching his ice cream cone melt because he doesn't want to enjoy it. He is afraid of how sad he will feel when it is gone.:D

Well that's your call, but I'm certainly enjoying the win! I was merely posing what I thought to be a legitimate question.

Bob even told Holly Rowe that the mistakes at the end of the game were on coaching.

Just for good measure, I'll throw this out there as an olive branch and let you neg away:

I know that. So why not do something a little different?

What would you suggest doing?

[StoopTroup]

Set Big Tex on fire.

...is it going to take for Kevin Wilson to realize that strategy doesn't work?

did you see randall (91) in our backfield from the 2nd quarter on? the only thing you can do when you have a DT blowing up your line on every play is try to slip past him up the middle (which we did a couple of times). he owned our left side of the LOS.

[noobalicious]

What would you suggest doing?

Well, obviously you want to keep the clock running, but you don't want to telegraph the same play at the defense.

I'm fine with a run on one or two plays, but I'm not the offensive coordinator. I would point out that the only play on our last three drives that went for more than 4 yards was a pass play on a curl route to Stills. Not coincidentally, that was our only 1st down in the last 13 minutes of the game.

If you're asking for my suggestions, I would suggest a mix of some of the runs they dialed up, and quick slants, curl routes, and bubble screens. Our receivers have proven they can get some YAC. But there's a reason why I'm not an offensive coordinator, I suppose.

We only called 2 passing plays in the last 3 drives, and one more was a busted run with miscommunication that Landry, to his credit, tried to turn into a passing play.

Yup . Maybe we can slip em a Mickey :)

I'm a new, kinder, gentler, Thunder, but we just beat Texas...Enjoy it for one night and stop bitching.

Think of me as Dean with a neg hammer and a drunk, bad attitude tonight.

Just remember...in the end these are college kids, still learning and just now learning to become men. Think of that before you criticize. Plus, I doubt very seriously that the coaches call plays to put us in a position not to succeed.

Wise up or become an Okie State fan. Now, all of you negative mutherfukkers get drunk and be happy.

BOOMER SOONER!

i seem to remember demarco murray busting a 13 yard run up the gut right after landry's fiasco.

3rd and 24 at OKLA 6 DeMarco Murray rush for 17 yards to the Okla 23.

Ah, you are correct. So it was one of only 2 plays that went for more than 4 yards, and the only one that got a first down.

[OUthunder]

That was the difference between kicking out of the endzone and the 6 yard line. Tough run.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

This crap cracks me up.


QUIT RUNNING UP THE MIDDLE KEVIN WILSON IS T3H DUMBZ!!!111one

How do you do it different?


SUM OF WHUT WE DIDZ BUT DIFFURNT!!!!111one

Different, as in successful? HOW, Lombardi? I'll tell you how.

Less Ace. More I. However, we threw the ball out of the Ace set and I can understand the logic of wanting to keep the look generic to hit the playaction. Remember the 2 sets of two plays from Ace, the two sets that went tiered flats from play pass right for big gainer immediately followed by that same look left for TDs? I do, too. So even though running the ball from the I was more successful today with big Trey Millard getting downhill looks to set and seal the cracks for Murray and Madu, the premise of trying to keep it in Ace simply makes sense.

Especially since, believe it or not, it hit on occasion. Give the texass front 4 some credit, too. The tackles made some plays today.

Im not sure he was blocked the whole game was he?

[TXBOOMER]

As far as I am concerned OU played a perfect game today. When the clock read 00:00 we had 28 and texass had 20. F an A!

[stoopified]

...is it going to take for Kevin Wilson to realize that strategy doesn't work?He is implementing Bob's run the clock out in he second half offense.It is real aimlar to the 4 corners offense in basketball.Get the lead,milk the clock.Trust me,KW is following orders.

[ousooners182]

No...6-0. No way we lose to Bye or ISU. Imma callin' em both right freaking now baby!

ISU doesnt have a shot..
but bye this week...if we keep screwing up in the 4th qtr bye could really get us. :mad:

[Collier11]

I seem to remember Demarco going for over 100 and 2 tds against a top 10 run D

[CrimsonJim]

Hmmm, you too? How could we BOTH be SO wrong? :confused:

[Collier11]

also, if you take out sacks we ran for 186 yards yesterday, against that same top 10 run D.

[cyclonesooner]

Through my binoculars at the game, it appeared our line blocking scheme is " don't block the Lbers, the running back will make them miss."

[Collier11]

Thats pretty much how it works unless the LBers are blitzing

[agoo758]

[SoonerPr8r]

If you run the clock will run even if the runner is stuffed in the line. If you throw you could have an incompletion stop the clock and gain 0 yards. Even if a completion is made it is likely the WR will go out of bounds stopping the clock. Too many things can go wrong.

"There are 3 things that can happen when you throw the ball and 2 of them are bad."

[trpltongue]

One thing I noticed was that when we were running out of the I and Millard was in, Murray often times didn't follow him through the hole. There were a couple of times that I distinctly remember in the second half where Millard cut an amazing hole through the line and knocked the **** out of a linebacker 5yds downfield only to see Murray running the opposite direction right into the back of a lineman.

I am definitely not criticizing Murray because he's a ton of fun to watch, but I just have to wonder if he's not seeing / trusting the holes to open up and is trying to find an alternate route inside the tackles?

[MamaMia]

I know that. So why not do something a little different? Believe me I am happy about our win! However, I can see this whole not moving the ball in the 4Q coming back to bite us sometime in the future... We're saving some of the other plays we have for when we need them, plus that "running into the pile play" tells us a lot about the team we're up against. Its a research play. :)
