This is not what I expected at all today.

Shepherd was well covered. We have got to run the ball. Heckuva punt. Now play some D.

TK please start warming up.

^^ Its time to turn TK lose before were more than just 7 points behind.

I love Blake but today is not his day.

I disagree. Blake is a fighter, and I trust him when we're behind more than I do TK (freshman). But for f*ck's sake, Heupel needs to get his head out of his *** and run the damn ball. Stop putting Blake in 3rd and long.

MyT Oklahoma

Do we not know how to tackle?

I don't know why Applewhite even bothers calling a pass.

Pathetic. No

We have no D line today.

how about a stop on 3rd down. just one.

Killerbees
10/12/2013, 12:13 PM
they are 7 - 9 on 3rd down attempts. wtf.

Dixon
10/12/2013, 12:13 PM
We have no D line today.

Getting pushed around pretty good. I don't know enough about Texas to
know what they can do to us if we stack the line. I like our cover corners.

JLEW1818
10/12/2013, 12:14 PM
Next time we get the ball, run the option with Bell. Let's just see how it goes.

Jacie
10/12/2013, 12:15 PM
they are 7 - 9 on 3rd down attempts. wtf.

Yes but they are 0-1 on 4th down!

lol

Temujin
10/12/2013, 12:16 PM
So far what I see is that we weren't successful on that first defensive drive with being aggressive. UT was picking up the blitz really well. Suddenly we stop, and now we're getting gashed.

SCSoonerfan
10/12/2013, 12:16 PM
OMG

David Earl
10/12/2013, 12:16 PM
Of course it's a perfect pass....

We may be in for a long day. 59 yard TD on 3rd and 12.

game over

JLMSOONER
10/12/2013, 12:16 PM
Someone posted teh other day that this was a lose-lose game for us and I agree. At this point, I think if we came out and won big in the 2nd half, all we would hear is how good tejas played in the game.

fadada1
10/12/2013, 12:16 PM
uh oh. we better figure something out... and DAMN quick.

MyT Oklahoma
10/12/2013, 12:17 PM
That totally sucked.

Anybody bet any money on today's game?

Third and 12, and we give up a TD pass. We don't deserve to win this one.

Wow. Forget what I said about our cover corners.

Case makes throws. Better passing QB than Bell.

JLMSOONER

10/12/2013, 12:17 PM
Perfect throw. I'll give them that. We're down two scores. Time to turn it around.

Its like watching the tortoise and the hare.

Take the rest of this quarter, drive the field, score a TD. Go into halftime and regroup. Is that too much to ask?

David Earl
10/12/2013, 12:19 PM
Good grief if Bell keeps that he runs forever.

Jacie
10/12/2013, 12:20 PM
If Bell can't throw it downfield, we lose.

cvsooner
10/12/2013, 12:20 PM
At least it was a completion. But those short throws are not going to get it done.

BetterSoonerThanLater

Is this all we've got?

JLEW1818

Why is Bell not running?

MyT Oklahoma
10/12/2013, 12:21 PM
We are missing Phillips and Nelson big time. But still thats no excuse.

We have a better team than UT but still our coaching today sucks.. Bad play calling. No adjustments

How did we come into this game today so d*** unprepared?

fadada1
10/12/2013, 12:21 PM
time to open up the playbook. we simply need a couple quick scores... and a takeaway of two. we've totally allowed the whorns to think they can play football.

JLMSOONER
10/12/2013, 12:21 PM
Did we game plan this week or take that day off?

cvsooner
10/12/2013, 12:21 PM
We are not built to easily come back from being down a couple of scores. Going to take a terrific game from here on out.

Welp, at least it was a first down.

David Earl
10/12/2013, 12:24 PM
Welp, at least it was a first down.

Or called back by holding penalty

tulsaoilerfan
10/12/2013, 12:24 PM
Of course

Agreed

MyT Oklahoma
10/12/2013, 12:25 PM
And past time for TK to start warming up.

I love Blake Bell as much as anyone (he's from Kansas) but still if he can't get it done and even hurts us (the pick 6) let TK show us what he can do today.

cvsooner
10/12/2013, 12:26 PM
Okay, defense. It's on you again. Texas is winning field position battle. Need a takeaway.

OU has a running qb but won't run him?

cvsooner

Running back gets three yards before we touch him.

Josh should be ashamed

cvsooner
10/12/2013, 12:27 PM
I've never seen a running back push the QB up to the center like the QB didn't know the play. Looking at the result, maybe he didn't.

David Earl
10/12/2013, 12:27 PM
Folks, I'm pretty slow to criticize play calling, but I don't understand our offensive game plan at all.

I think Josh has been a great QB coach. And I think he's had some positives as a co-coordinator. But his play calling has been streaky at best. A few times he gets in a rhythm, but a lot of times his play selection doesn't make sense to me.

Soonerjeepman
10/12/2013, 12:27 PM
well ya figured 2 things were bound to happen...#1 ut had ton play a better game than they have in this series the last few years, #2 OU wasn't going to continue to play "that way" in this game like they have. Just happened today...

MyT Oklahoma
10/12/2013, 12:27 PM
Knight won't do much if all they want to do is throw from the pocket. Play calling is horrid.

TK can run which is something everybody who has played UT has done on them.

We can get off of the field

BoulderSooner79
10/12/2013, 12:29 PM
We're not running well either. There is no magic play calling that would fix this. Gotta block better and WRs need to get more open.

Receiver was wide open.

cvsooner
10/12/2013, 12:32 PM
Third down again. Pretty good chance they make it here, the way it's going. I'm reminded of 2008 when we had to sub out Reynolds and whole D went to pieces. Colvin is supposed to be this great corner? McCoy couldn't believe how open he was and missed the throw. And of course Fera kicks the 50 yarder.

SOONER44EVER
10/12/2013, 12:32 PM

Take this final three minutes and score. Is Bell dinged up and can't run or something? I cannot figure out why Heupel isn't running Bell at all.

David Earl

I'd like to suggest our defense is playing fair, though poorly on some plays.

First, our offense has not done well which puts pressure on the D.

Second, we're already thin at DT and we all knew it. DL has been playing better this year but we're still thin.

Third, we're already thin at LB and we all knew it.

Fourth, the very two injuries on D we couldn't stand are the two we've got, starting DT and LB.

Fifth, UT offense is playing lights out. Mack has finally decided to let them do what they do best, run the ball.

Sixth, in spite of all these factors, our D only gave up 16 points this half.

While the defense is not playing well, it could be a lot worse.

Last week I posted about that fact that I often feel like the other team makes better halftime adjustments than us. Guess we are going to get a chance to see what we can do on the adjustment front.

Hope I am proven wrong, but not feeling confident about the third Q.

Fair? We're giving up 6, 7 and 8 yard runs right up the middle on every possession. The only reason we're not behind by a lot more is the McCoy overthrew 2 passes and we got a lucky ko return. The D is sucking badly.

Soonerjeepman

I'm not sure we can mount a comeback...the ONLY hope is brown decides to start coaching and trying to change things up..lol. Our D is really struggling. If McCoy could halfway throw a pass, we'd be down by 21 at least. No pressure with front 4 unlike ut, middle of the field is open big time with the run.

We'll see. I'll be VERY surprised if OU can come back.

KO return wasn't luck, it was execution.

I agree, D is playing poorly on some plays. That includes a couple of coverage busts McCoy failed to capitalize on. However, considering the factors I mentioned, we're lucky their run game has not netted them more points.

We are down only two TDs, and we have stopped several drives. Our O gifted them 7. Need a few breaks in the second half. We need to make the breaks in the second half. At this rate, though, Texas Tech and Baylor are going to carve us up. Yeow.

I'm not sure what the answer is on our passing game. Some rollout passes might help. Of course better run game, including QB, would help. But Bell is limited in his down field threat.

This is not news to us, however. I think most of us felt Bell's upside in the passing game was limited. I think that's part of the reason Knight got the start early on. Too bad he hasn't played like he practiced yet. For now, we've got Bell. He's tough, he plays hard and he's been pretty good at game management except for today. We'll see what happens...

10/12/2013, 12:56 PM
I think our offense can come out of it's shell. I'm not at all confident our defense will wake up and start getting a few 3-and-outs. We are seriously missing Phillips and Nelson. Getting zero pressure except on Striker blitzes. Most of the time McCoy can just stand back there and look around for as long as he wants.

David Earl

Can't be. Bob does no wrong. Haven't you heard?

I've often wondered if some of the times we were complaining about plays our OC was calling the OC [Mangino, Long, Heupel, etc] was working within parameters Stoops set. He lets his coordinators coach, but he also gives input.

That said, I doubt Stoops told Heupel to ditch the QB run game.

Receivers are not getting open. They've completely shut down Saunders and Shepherd as threats from what I can tell and the opportunities we should have with Bester, Neal, etc., aren't happening. And the normally sure handed Clay drops a certain TD. We've had our chances, but we aren't getting them.

I mean, essentially, what we have to do in the second half is hold Texas scoreless and come up with two TDs and two XPs. Not impossible, but it will require much better play than we saw in the first half.

I'm displeased, but let's not forgot our dropped td pass that would've put them on their heals. Finch also dropped a 2nd down pass that led to a 3 and out. Expect big changes at the half. TX is playing the best they have all year. We need to come out with a TD
