The Secondary Better Be Nothing Less Than Solid

[Okie35]

.... Tannehill stares down receivers and throws lobs. I expect at least 2 ints if the DL comes to play. He'll force a lot of passes.

I've been surprised how few int's we've had this year...here's to hoping that this dude sucks enough for us to get a couple this weekend.

I am afraid he does not lob the ball.

[jagvocate]

Tannehill "lobs" the ball to Jeff Fuller so Fuller can jump up for it and attempt to use height as an advantage.

Tannehill doesn't have the arm strength of a, say, Ryan Mallett; but he throws a decent ball.

I expect OU's best chance at an interception will come from deflected passes by defensive linemen ... Tannehill has tried to force some throws over outsretched defenders, cutting it very close sometimes.

It gets there the receivers do the rest. I blame Tech's terrible secondary especially on that one pass to Fuller where he gets back in front of the DB. I swear if Hurst/Nelson/Fleming/Carter/ or anyone else allows that to happen I'll break something.

yeah well Last year Jacory Harris threw a slow motion lob and look how that turned out.

The offense could've played better too. The defense still had 2 ints if I recall. That one play w/ the broken coverage Proctor was in :( .

We did have two INTs off Harris. Our issues in that game were on the offensive side of the ball and missed FGs. Landry's interception in our red zone was huge.

I'd be really happy if we get the same defensive performance we had in the miami game last year. Let's just hope the offense plays much better.

Texas Tech's pass defense is ranked dead last in all of college football.

have the Sooners had a pick-six yet this yr?

Which is why their players were open but you still don't stare down receivers the whole way there is not one time he went through his progressions he waited till they got open. That's why I said IF our d line brings their A game the secondary should have a great game.

Nope closest person to get near the end zone was Fleming's pick on Ponder because it was on the FSU 30 or something like that. This would be a good game to have the first pick 6.

Yeah I believe he got picked twice. We couldn't stop the run down the stretch.

Well all that was Stoops' fault. He coached Jacory to throw like that. He coached our kickers to miss those FGs too. Or was it Venables? I always forget which one to blame when we lose.

Never go with Josh. Not popular. :D

I'm a little more concerned with that fullback out in the flats...

[madillsoonerfan5353]

Or a seam over the middle. :gary:
