[FaninAma]

Am I just overlooking it? Stuck in Amarillo, Tx and game was not offered on pay-for-view.

[BB37]

Looks like you're the winner!

[westbrooke]

Am I just overlooking it? Stuck in Amarillo, Tx and game was not offered on pay-for-view.

I think you just made it.

[soonerfan69]

This one works! firstrowsports.eu is a working stream if you need it

[nanimonai]

This will work for me.

Beautiful so far.

[soonerfan69]

Knight looks very good

[westbrooke]

Yeah, the link hawaii 5-0 put in the TV and radio thread is working for me.

[westbrooke]

Knight looks very good

Tuned in just in time to see that TD throw. Pretty!

[Eielson]

This is the TK I expect last year.

[soonerfan69]

Block in the back by 57

[nanimonai]

It's been a while since we laid an old-fashioned, Mike Lupica style beatdown on anyone. I think it's time.

[soonerfan69]

Absolute BS call

[ouflak]

This will do!

[okiewaker]

Wow!

[soonerfan69]

****ing BS

[okiewaker]

Fuking dumass rules. I'm sick of watching ppl take the game out of the game!

[soonerfan69]

Not only do we lose him for this game but for half of the next game, at least it's Tulsa

[salth2o]

I hate that call

[BB37]

Certainly a questionable call...

[nanimonai]

Not only do we lose him for this game but for half of the next game, at least it's Tulsa

I think that's only if it happened in the 2nd half. He should be in for Tulsa.

[soonerfan69]

So was that targeting too?

[salth2o]

yes sir!

[westbrooke]

Blocked! The shut out lives!

[nanimonai]

So was that targeting too?

Someone's feeling got hurt. That's probably a penalty too now.

[soonerfan69]

Someone's feeling got hurt. That's probably a penalty too now.

Only difference was the runner didn't drop right before he got hit

[westbrooke]

Well, there went my feed.

[Eielson]

Anybody else think Bell looks like a QB out there trying to block?

[BB37]

TD FORD

[soonerfan69]

BOOM!!!

[westbrooke]

And we're back. Just in time for Ford's TD. At least first row has good timing.

[salth2o]

Ford is a beast

[salth2o]

And we're back. Just in time for Ford's TD. At least first row has good timing.

yep

[WA. Sooner]

Built Ford tough!

[soonersweetie]

notice the coaches' polos, kind of interesting choice. Look a little retro to me.

Ford was a beast up the middle on that TD!

[Pricetag]

Are we wearing the tree barks?

[westbrooke]

I love hearing the coaches saying the OL is the strength of the team. When was the last time we could say that?

[soonersweetie]

Sanchez is a beast!

[birddog]

Running game looks good but tech dline is pretty slender in the britches. Great crowd here.

[westbrooke]

Are we wearing the tree barks?

Not from what I can see.

[bluedogok]

Are we wearing the tree barks?
Nope, regular unis.

[nanimonai]

Are we wearing the tree barks?

Shshsh, maybe they forgot about those.

[soonerfan69]

That was a helmet to helmet hit

[FaninAma]

Thanks guys. I take it TK looks pretty solid.

[soonersweetie]

Are we wearing the tree barks?

No, our normal home unis. Coaches are wearing white polos with thin crimson horizontal stripes

[BB37]

Thanks guys. I take it TK looks pretty solid.

Looking good so far, certainly looks better than he did in game 1 of 2013 (against similar competition).

[westbrooke]

Thanks guys. I take it TK looks pretty solid.

Yeah, they just did a clip package on his sound decision making so far in this game. He looks like he's in control.

[Eielson]

I love hearing the coaches saying the OL is the strength of the team. When was the last time we could say that?

They would have said it when we had Sam Bradford...except we had Sam Bradford.

[nanimonai]

Central Arkansas is up on Texas Tech 10-7.

While it would be hilarious, we need as much schedule strength as we can get this year.

[westbrooke]

They would have said it when we had Sam Bradford...except we had Sam Bradford.

Hahaha, yeah, that's pretty much where I was going with that. I like that we have depth too. Graduation won't decimate us.

[BB37]

Good pass after two tips.

[bluedogok]

Central Arkansas is up on Texas Tech 10-7.

While it would be hilarious, we need as much schedule strength as we can get this year.
16-7 now....my Tech wife is not happy.

[BB37]

Going for it again on 4th down.

[nanimonai]

gah

[BB37]

TK fumble.

[westbrooke]

Well, that was... awkward.

[BB37]

Well, that was... awkward.

Definitely won't make the highlight reel...

[Eielson]

Welp, OSU didn't put up much of a fight...

[westbrooke]

Wow, I'm liking Perine!

[westbrooke]

TD Ross!

[Eielson]

OSU might get beat by 40+. Seriously. This is ugly.

[nanimonai]

One more before half.

[BB37]

Defense needs to step it up now.

[nanimonai]

I meant for us. [hairGel]

[BB37]

SACK!

[westbrooke]

I keep having to remind myself that we're not playing the best competition, but there's been a lot of good work today all over the field.

[BB37]

There goes the shutout. 31-3, :04 Q2

[SoonerInFortSmith]

There were a lot of backups on the field for that la tech scoring drive

[deweydw]

Going back to TK's fumble, he did not have a hold of the laces. That's what let the ball slip out of his hand.

Looks like we have a great stable of RB's. Receivers look good as well.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

How's the pride halftime show?

[westbrooke]

That's impressive - only one play went for negative yards in the first half.

[okiewaker]

Way i see it,,,OU trotting beasts about on the field, both sides.

Btw, Striker is the new Roy Williams

[BB37]

Merv on the radio just asked, "was that targeting?"

[BB37]

TD ROSS!!! Someone just won a bunch of chicken!

[BB37]

That's very close.

But no cigar!

[soonerfan69]

That's a TD

[okiewaker]

TV froze. I want my money back

[BB37]

End of Q3, not much drama.

[soonerfan69]

Except they seem to be losing focus a little

[BB37]

There's a lot of subs in, but yeah, we've seen this before.

[okiewaker]

Still froze. I'm fit to go on a killing spree at the moment!

[flysooner9]

Someone please teach Sanchez how to tackle.

[BB37]

Wow, looks like the runner was down at the two, but no call/review.

[salth2o]

Gotta wrap em up.

[westbrooke]

Also a lot of non-starters getting playing time, which contributes to the drop in focus and team cohesion. I'm okay with seeing some second and third-teamers getting snaps. But I just realized I haven't been paying much attention to who has been playing well from the bench.

So I'll make that a question: who among the non-starters, particularly young guys, have been the most impressive to you? No fair talking about the running backs. Too easy!

[BB37]

Just one more step...

[BB37]

TD PERINE!

[salth2o]

Perine is a tank.

[JLMSOONER]

So tell me about the RB's. I think KF is going to be a beast this year. I know he scored a coir but how did the RB's look

[BB37]

The RBs look pretty good tonight, but I don't think you can draw many conclusions from this game.

[soonerfan69]

Stoops didn't like the loss of focus he looked pissed

[BB37]

Pokes making it interesting, 17-20 10:45 Q3.

[JLMSOONER]

The RBs look pretty good tonight, but I don't think you can draw many conclusions from this game.

I hear ya. But I thought Ford showed a lot of potential in the bama game.

[BB37]

Two TOs for TK.

[blacktop]

I'm not impressed with the passing tonight. Anyone have a feel for what is going on? Surely the dog pass defense is not that impressive.

[soonerfan69]

TK hasn't looked to impressive the second half

[Sabanball]

Congrats on the win to start the season.

[SoCalBigRed]

First game of the season and the boo birds are already squawking?

LOL!

[bluedogok]

We've seen it before, got up big, put in some other guys and lost focus. They kept trying to force it into that tall receiver and he seemed to be blowing some routes.

[okiewaker]

Well, I missed the entire 4th Qtr b/c my cable box decided to freeze up. Called Cox and they refunded me half my money. From what I'm reading, we must of lost some focus in the 4th.

We played alot of young guys and ran vanilla offense because we had no backup qb, and running tk runs our offense. We looked legit. We can fix some things but we'll get better. I liked how we looked on Oline and Dline. Which is the most important thing.

[freshchris05]

We obviously were gonna have a size advantage last night but I think we have the size and depth to lean on our opponents all year. As long and we don't give up on the run. I mean how many carries did we have to give AD? I think our backs are more talented collectively than Finch, Clay, and Williams were.

Us as fans are going to have to lose the obsession with having to score a minimum of 49 a game. We have multiple running threats and a stout defense. We're back to playing big boy ball.

[EatLeadCommie]

I wasn't able to watch the game last night since I had something else on the schedule. First time that has happened in a long time. Anyway, I recorded the condensed replay on Fox SW this morning. A few thoughts...

We are solid at RB. Three very punishing runners, all with slightly different styles to their games.

TK started sharp and ended quite poorly. I don't know if he lost focus after the 1st quarter or what. Early throws were pretty good, but then he started to miss some. Some of the misses weren't bad, like the almost TD to Shepard and another long touch pass he overthrew on the left sideline, but he was off on a few short ones and he definitely had Hybl happy feet and stared down guys all night. Again, hopefully this is a reflection of playing down competition. One thing I do like about the kid is that he isn't afraid to throw it anywhere on the field. For a guy with only 5 starts under his belt, he is confident throwing it downfield, even if he isn't always accurate.

The defense picked up where they left off. We are just ferocious on the line, and the secondary continues to improve under Mike.

The offensive line is finally looking like an OU offensive line after years of playing soft up front. We ran through the tackles with relative ease. We looked mean out there.

Josh seems to have revamped the offense yet again. After really having what I though was a horrible year last year, he made up for it by launching a great 1999-ish gameplan for the Sugar Bowl. The La Tech gameplan looked nothing like that. We ran some option. We ran through the tackles. We spread the field. I don't know if this is what we will see for the rest of the year, but I'm guessing it will be. Hopefully, he will throw in some wrinkles for the UT and Bedlam games. At least we know we can run the Sugar Bowl offense if we need to.

Special teams had two blocks. How freaking awesome is that? It's nice to know we have that ability. It's also nice to have a kicker who isn't a midget kicking it 10 yards in the air. I am very thankful for Hunnicut.
