Which was a worse call?

[yukonmiller]

The fake FG or not having anyone at least semi back on the final kick off? I was at the game and both nearly gave me a heart attack.

Btw this is not being critical-just asking.

[SicEmBaylor]

Would you still think it was a bad call if it had worked? Sometimes a great call just isn't executed; likewise, sometimes a terrible call works itself out.

[olevetonahill]

How many ****ing ways can Idjits ask the same dumbassed questions ?:rolleyes:

[ouwasp]

I didn't "mind" the fake... but probably only a small% of people were actually surprised.

Don't understand the tactics on the onside prevent <shrug>

yup... its only a "bad call" when it fails. when it works its "genius".

[CrimsonRez]

The field goal definitely. Not having someone deep on the onside kick didn't bother me at all. I would much rather have extra players up close. Besides DM7 and Broyles were both a little further back (5-10 yards) from all the other players. Both of them are very fast and as you saw even though * kicked it deep DM7 still beat all of the * players to the ball by at least 25 yards.

if the "fake" had worked, I still would have shook my head at it because it just didnt make any sense, especially after we get a delay of game penalty. if it had worked, I would have said it wasnt a smart play but we got lucky. i didnt like the call at all. after we got the delay penalty, i thought we should have lined up in FG and punted to try to pin them deep.

Do none of you idiots actually read the game recaps and posts on this board?

It's been stated about 5,743 times and counting that they had issues with communication thanks to headset malfunctions.

[fwsooner22]

This just in.......We won

[ashley]

tu made a smart call on the kickoff given the time left.

[OU_Sooners75]

All you ****ers that are bitching about which call was worse, are flat out ignorant in this game.

You are also the people that would be cheering the loudest had the fake field goal worked out in benefit for OU.

Why don't you people just STFU and allow people to have sensible conversations without your pathetic griping and uneducated opinions.

These types of questions have been ran into the ground. We are 5-0. No matter what you want to think, no game is called perfectly, but they can be called good enough to win the games...and that is what is happening this year.

If you don't like it jump back on whichever bandwagon you came from!

Im going to call you a liar on this one.

Had it worked, you wouldnt have been shaking your head...you would have jumped up from your chair and been yelling at your console TV, especially after having to go 7 yards instead of 2 yards.

We will just chalk you up as one of the pinheads. :P

[The Maestro]

Well, not sure how the "not having anyone deep" could have worked for us...that play only had a shot of "OH, GOD PLEASE LET THAT BALL TRICKLE INTO THE END ZONE!!!" as it did, or it goes dead inside the five and a mad scramble ensues.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

The worst call was the decision to start a whole brand new thread about this crap.

I'm talking bad call to the point of approaching Oregon onside kick levels of bad call.

[TUSooner]

I think you should always have someone deep on a kickoff as a safety. It IS a free ball after 10 yards.

And OU 75: We're just having a little conversation about a football game. It's the internet, y'know? Sheesh. Nobody's jumping on or off any bandwagons or threatening to burn down the Wilkinson Center. Get a grip. :rolleyes: :P

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I disagree. I think the decision is inspired and I would fellate Bob Stoops on Oprah without a safety based strictly on the decision alone.

[/counterargument]

[BigTime1]

The kickoff return was intended to be that way...Ive used it a few times and it has never failed to work...thats why DM was the deepest on the left and RB on the right there is no possible way a defender can get to that ball when those guys have a 25-30 yd head start. It prevents the team from kicking an actual onside because more people are close to the line it prevents the high and across and leaves the team w/o many options. Notice DM had time to let the ball roll in the end zone with no problem notice the man just in front of him watching the defenders and letting him know how close they are. I think Bob and the Boys have got it under control...I would say dont post if you dont understand the play

[texaspokieokie]

that would eliminate 80% of all posts.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Another poster who knows more than everybody else? interesting

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I know more than you.

And because I do, I'm gonna make a thread about it.

[BigTime1]

Maybe I do know more in this case because of teaching and coaching it...experience usually accounts for knowledge
