congrats sooners

[Osce0la]

helluva game. you guys were able to get it done when it mattered, and we killed ourselves with penalties. happy with the way we played (other than the penalties) and im excited for the rest of our season. now, get out there and get #8! again, congrats guys!

[texas bandman]

Great game between two great teams.

[Wishboned]

Classy move Chief! You're a stellar fan for your team.

Good luck the rest of the season.

[boomersooner28]

F**** TEXAS!!!!!!!

[oumartin]

FSU is vastly improved and they are fast and hard hitting. Might have a qb controversy down there to deal with now. :)

Good luck the rest of the year.

[En_Fuego]

Great Game. I hate (Love) those kind of games. Good Luck the rest of the season.

[zandozan]

To all the FSU fans, great game guys. Nice to see another Stoops brother bringing the pain on the defensive side. I expected a tough game and boy you guys didn't disappoint. Love Jimbo Fisher, Mark Stoops and the rest of your staff...class acts and great coaches. Game atmosphere looked amazing as well, that shot of a sea of tomahawk chops was pretty awesome. As some have said, I'd be willing to bet a good amount of money FSU doesn't lose again this year. Maybe we have ourselves a little rematch in New Orleans come January? :) Best wishes to the players who got injured and good luck the rest of the season.

[SoonerOX]

Good luck to you guys the rest of the way!

[the-rover]

FSU played a tough game, good luck the rest of the season

[SCOUT]

I am glad we don't have to play you guys again. I am very pleased with the win and you guys showed why you are ranked so high. Good luck the rest of this season, I am rooting for you to finish up the rest of the season strong.

[Sabanball]

Congrats. You don't know how glad I was that you guys won. Big win in a hostile environment. I do not want my team having the no. 1 ranking right now. Boomer Sooner!

FSU is not a discipline team, there could have been a lot more penalties called on your team.

[MyT Oklahoma]

Thank you Osce0la and best wishes to your team and the rest of your season.

P. S. I second the F**** Texas remark.

[SoonerofAlabama]

I feel sorry for Clemson right now.

[DenverSooner751]

Awesome game! Hope you guys have a great rest of your season, thanks for being a classy visitor!

[SoonerMom2]

Lou Holtz just apologized to Coach Stoops, the team, and the fans for his comments about OU not being able to win against FSU. Never thought I would see that!

[SoonerMom2]

Osce0la - you are really class all the way with this thread. What a game! Wouldn't want to be Clemson next week -- you guys are going to clobber them! Good Luck!

[VA Sooner]

Damn good game there, Chief. I'm impressed... the FSU defense was stout tonight. Good luck to you and the rest of the 'noles this year.

[oumom2many]

Osce0la~ Meet you in the end! Go Noles!

[Osce0la]

what are your thoughts on clint trickett? that kid came into a bad situation and seemed to have ice water in his veins. cool, calm, got us back in the game...the pick was just a great athletic play by your defense. that kids got me excited. i hope our fans treated you guys well. again, great game and congrats on the w.

That kid looked good. I'd be scared if he ever got hit, but he never looked nervous and made good throws. I'd be excited about his future even if it is 2 years away.

He definitely did well with the situation he was thrown into. That being said, he isn't ready for prime time yet, though. A lot of his passes seemed to be of the "toss it up and pray" variety. Manuel is definitely the guy going forward, although Trickett could be good down the line.

[Widescreen]

Trickett's immediate task should be getting bigger. That dude is tiny!

[thatmediadude]

Trickett reminds me of Ken Dorsey by the way he looks.. Might be some competition, but I think EJ gives the Noles the best chance to win...even though he's a ways away from being a great passer. Noles should win ACC easy.

[EatLeadCommie]

Good luck against Clempsun next week. I hate those a-holes (I went to Wake).

[SoonerOX]

He looked good given the situation. He'll be a quarterback of the future for sure me thinks.

[EatLeadCommie]

I thought Trickett was very stout. He clearly didn't have the mobility of Manuel to extend plays, but he has a helluva gun and seemed to have a lot of poise. Manuel made plays with his feet, but he has a problem with decisions, as evidenced by him having more INTs than TDs in his career. Lots of potential, but not a lot of brains. Same could be said for Landry Jones, however.

[Aries]

Very nice, Osce0la... glad the injuries do not appear to be too serious, Trickett did great in a backup role bringing FSU back.

[boomersooner28]

When that kid came in, I was actually scared for his life. The way people were hitting last night I thought he may die.

[meoveryouxinfinity]

Trickett played well during the game. I thought for sure EJ had separated his shoulder on that hit to the ground (very similar to the Bradford hit). FSU with no run game has no chance with Trickett. It's pretty obvious that EJ is your entire running game. Trickett + 20-50 lbs + a RB > EJ.
Hope EJ is able to play because Trickett does not have the size to play the entire season healthy.

[budbarrybob]

GG to FSU. Thanks for being a visitor, you're welcome back anytime Osceola.

[marfacowboy]

That game was a war. A great football game....FSU has a bevy of incredible athletes. It's all coming together for them. Glad that WR is ok, too.

thought he played well...needs to lift weights! LOL...guy looked about 125...but yeah very cool demeanor. 1 disagreement...we had more penalties..but yours seem more untimely...I don't think the hit on the receiver was a penalty..official didn't call it til the kid was out...VERY GLAD he as ok...

great game....put our D and O to the test..we need that. I honestly doubt you lose the rest of the yr.

I LOVE (ugh) how some of the national media CBS, NY...have articles stating the ACC is overrated, OU should have won by more...etc...basically downplaying OU's BIG win....dissing you guys....ah well..just win baby, just win.

Good luck the rest of the year.

I LOVE (ugh) how some of the national media CBS, NY...have articles stating the ACC is overrated, OU should have won by more...etc...basically downplaying OU's BIG win....dissing you guys....ah well..just win baby, just win.Some of my FSU friends have been echoing this sentiment. Basically saying that they aren't that good (even without the injuries) and OU isn't deserving of their ranking.

[marfacowboy]

The New York Times article was fair:
"These clearly were not the same Seminoles who were blown out 47-17 last season in Norman, Okla. Florida State recovered from that loss and finished 10-4, and now appear on the cusp of reestablishing its prominence of its glory days under Bobby Bowden."

"To say they escaped an upset does not accurately reflect how they recomposed themselves in the final nine and a half minutes and proved that they can win without star quarterback Landry Jones putting up gaudy numbers"

This is Florida State. A program that's won national titles, played for others and has always had talent. They finished in the top five of the AP Poll for 14 straight years from 1987 through 2000. And now they're back on the rise. How anyone could possibly say either of these teams is undeserving is beyond me. They must be totally ignoring the facts.

[Soonerjeepman]

But at this point, it is hard to tell whether they deserve to be No. 1 in the polls or whether that exalted position should go to SEC giant LSU, which has defensively dominant road wins over two ranked teams - Oregon and Mississippi State.

[Soonerjeepman]

It was the league’s chance to make a lasting impression nationally with several marquee non-conference games being played in ACC stadiums. None, of course, were bigger than No. 1-ranked Oklahoma visiting Florida State.

While the ACC made some major news off the field Saturday, the song remained the same for the ACC on the field.

With a 1-5 record in BCS bowl games since the league grew to 12 schools in 2005, a 2-11 record in its last 13 BCS bowl games and a 1-32 record vs. top five ranked non-conference teams since 2000, the ACC wanted -- no, make that desperately needed -- to make a statement nationally Saturday. It did: it’s simply still not as good as the elite automatic qualifying BCS leagues.

Maybe it’s not fair to judge an entire league on one game, but Florida State’s 23-13 loss to Oklahoma was the latest evidence that indicated the ACC still is a notch below the big boys.

I was amazed that kid came in, and stayed cold as ice against a brutal defense. Little twig of a young man took some hard hits, and kept on trucking. If he eats his wheaties, he could be something great for you guys.

It's good of to visit post game, and be so gracious.

Regarding penalties, your guys better stop jumping offsides all the time. Sooner or later you will get a crew that won't ignore it.

[gernblansten]

OU should have won by more. Settling for FGs twice on 1st and goal did keep the game closer than it should have been. I'd be surprised if a Sooner fan wasn't thinking at halftime, "it should be 21-3."

I've seen LSU, Alabama and OU all play twice this season. OU's offense is better than LSU's. The defense....LSU is really, really good, but in my opinion, not as good as Bama on defense. I think both of those teams are more athletic than OU on defense, but neither is as good offensively. And OU's defense isn't that far behind. I think we'd beat LSU and be in for a nail biter with Bama. Hard to beat against Saban with the talent he's amassed. OU deserves to be #1, and I'd rank Alabama 2.

We know nothing about Alabama. They have played nobody and have not been in pressure situations like OU and LSU.

I totally concur!!!

Maybe we'll meet again for the MNC!

Good luck FSU for the rest of your season!

[CrimsonRez]

My immediate thought on Trickett is that he did pretty well for the situation he was placed in. He definitely has trouble reading blitzes and coverages. But that is something that is learned as time goes on. He'll be a good player in a few years.
