[SoonerorLater]

Time to whip the lizards

[Flagstaffsooner]

That's a nasty looking thing.

[OUinFLA]

Good jorb flak
In

[Rogue]

Keys to the game (other than the usual eliminate turnovers, penalties, establish running game, etc):
1) Sanchez healthy
2) Contain the mobile QB (a M. Stoops kryptonite since forever)
3) Red Zone offense. TDs > FGs

[olevetonahill]

In Hey Tony,Bill,Boyd, lets squish them toads under the wheels of the schooner

[Rogue]

Of course, out here in Appalachia, I get to enjoy the last 10 minutes of V Tech vs UNC instead of seeing the kickoff. Yawwwwn
Glad to have Sirius radio feed

[Rogue]

What am I, chopped freakin' livah?

[SCSoonerfan]

Of course, out here in Appalachia, I get to enjoy the last 10 minutes of V Tech vs UNC instead of seeing the kickoff. Yawwwwn
Glad to have Sirius radio feed

Me too damn it.

[OUinFLA]

well, I predict Miss St and A/M will swap places in the polls

[OUinFLA]

Its good to not have to worry about ko's being run back much anymore

[Rogue]

While VOLS and Florida try to perpetuate the myth of the mighty SEC defenses.

[Rogue]

Who was on coverage there?

[OUinFLA]

there goes our obligatory first minute of the game timeout

[swardboy]

Somebody wasn't hustling off the field.

[guido911]

Very poor tackling so far. TCU also getting some lucky bounces.

[soonercastor]

The theme of this drive has been poor tackling. Particularly that last one on third down.

[Blue]

Not good at all.

[swardboy]

We need to put some hits on the QB.

[olevetonahill]

even when we catch a break we cant catch it .

[guido911]

Tipped ball and fumble drops right into the hands of TCU. Football gods smiling on the Christians so far.

[EatLeadCommie]

If we keep playing 5 yards off the WRs and tackling like this, we will lose by 30

[olevetonahill]

We need to put some hits on the QB.

If they keep running him hes gonna get smacked around.

[BB37]

Kicking away from Ross.

[guido911]

If we keep playing 5 yards off the WRs and tackling like this, we will lose by 30

Let's see how the offense performs. fingers crossed.

[jiminy]

TCU: no confidence in their kick coverage?

[Eielson]

Ross with the start??

[PhiDeltBeers]

I wouldn't start Perine either.

[BigTip]

knots in stomach.
Must...breathe

[Eielson]

Ross with the start??

Expected results...

[BB37]

Going backward. Not looking good so far.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Wow. Look horrible.

[swardboy]

Ok, who told TCU our first three plays?

[guido911]

Well that was quick. I am new here, but I have been a long time believer that OU does not win championships with Heupel calling plays.

[guido911]

Ok, who told TCU our first three plays?

Someone told TCU about Heupel. That's all they need to know. He is awful, and has been for years.

[SoonerorLater]

Some improvement will be needed here.

[EatLeadCommie]

Sweep run against tcu? Lol. Hope Josh has something better in his playbook

[Eielson]

Great. Horsecollar/facemask...

[guido911]

Sanchez is just brutal. And a wuss tackle.

[BB37]

Holy cow, the refs are giving TCU the game.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Unbelievable

[EatLeadCommie]

Wtf?

[Eielson]

WHAAATT???? Refs are picking on Sanchez....

[BigTip]

Seriously?!!!

[SCSoonerfan]

Wtf was that call for

[BB37]

OU needs to wake up.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

Sanchez is a good cover guy but couldn't tackle a kid on a tricycle

[OUinFLA]

im shocked

[olevetonahill]

Someone told TCU about Heupel. That's all they need to know. He is awful, and has been for years.

Oh boy another Blame the Coaches nOOb

[Rogue]

well fuk

[Eielson]

I hate to blame the refs...because people do that pretty randomly on here...but the refs handed them that TD. Horrible.

[swardboy]

MIght want someone on the pitch man?

[SCSoonerfan]

No one had the pitch man?

[PhiDeltBeers]

Making us look D2

[Eielson]

Oh boy another Blame the Coaches nOOb

Heupel really f***ed up our defense!

[guido911]

There was a personal foul, not unsportsmanlike, called against Sanchez. What was it for? Someone catch it?

[BigTip]

Lots of game left.

[EatLeadCommie]

Not our day

[BB37]

I hate to blame the refs...because people do that pretty randomly on here...but the refs handed them that TD. Horrible.

65 yard drive, 30 of that on penalties.

[olevetonahill]

I hate to blame the refs...because people do that pretty randomly on here...but the refs handed them that TD. Horrible.

The 1st was a FM penalty that 2nd one was Sanchez Kissed the refs daughter/wife deal.

[Eielson]

If TCU gets anymore ahead of us, I suspect we might see some TK running. Despite what everybody on here says, I don't think that will change much, though.

[BB37]

SHEP!!!

[BigTip]

Wooooooooooo!

[SCSoonerfan]

Damn right!!! Lets do this

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

That's better

[jiminy]

looking back at the penalty, Sanchez did push the receiver's head, and the receiver pushed his hand off him. He's really been a liability so far this game

[BigTip]

Why are they even reviewing that?

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

There was a personal foul, not unsportsmanlike, called against Sanchez. What was it for? Someone catch it?

I didn't see a damn thing! Bogus!

[BB37]

Not sure what they're reviewing.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Smh

[guido911]

Heupel really f***ed up our defense!

Oh I'm sorry. How many plays did the O get in order to get our D some rest? And I am not blaming Heupel. I think he just is not a capable/skilled O coordinator.

[BigTip]

Why are they even reviewing that?

Oh I know, to kill or mo

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Gonna have a tough time running on them

[BB37]

TK to the 3.

[Eielson]

DAMMIT! We let our secret weapon!

[BB37]

TD PERINE!!!

[Eielson]

Oh I'm sorry. How many plays did the O get in order to get our D some rest? And I am not blaming Heupel. I think he just is not a capable/skilled O coordinator.

Apology not accepted.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Atta kid.

[bluedogok]

Gonna have a tough time running on them
With 8 within 4 yards of the ball they are going to have to hit some more stuff deep.

[SCSoonerfan]

Alright lets go D!!

[olevetonahill]

There was a personal foul, not unsportsmanlike, called against Sanchez. What was it for? Someone catch it?

Dumas.

[guido911]

Now, big stop D. Take the crowd out of it.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Feel a little better, now we need a stop on D

[EatLeadCommie]

The problem with running the fake zone read,is that it doesn't give you practice for the real thing.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

These announcers love TCU huh?

[Rogue]

ZS is a liability out there when he's hurt.
Boykin has 25 rushing yards.
At least we punched it in from the crimson zone.
From my 3 keys to the game...1/3 so far.

[guido911]

Apology not accepted.

Aw shucks. How will I ever get by.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Their offensive line is manhandling our d line

[BigTip]

These announcers love TCU huh?

They just like the drama of an upset

[aurorasooner]

Can our D stop them on the next series?
Good time for J Evans to pound Boykin and cause a fumble. They've got all the breaks so far, it's about time one fell our way.
Geez. their OL line splits are ridiculous.

[bluedogok]

7-0 Baylor end of the first. Baylor offense hasn't scored, the Baylor D had a INT return for a TD and another interception..

[BB37]

Finally a flag on TCU.

[BB37]

Geez...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

You've got to be ****ing kidding me

[jiminy]

Um, rushing 1?

[BigTip]

finally

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Finally got to his ***

[bluedogok]

Wilson had good coverage, just a great play. TCU's luck is bound to change.

[BB37]

Finally, a stop.

[BigTip]

lol, Geez!

[guido911]

Trying to figure out what is happening on D. Inside stunts failing, no pass rush. I have to trust Mike Stoops to correct. I think they are trying LOS containment and forcing pass.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I thought that tipped ball was gonna land righting the TCU rec's hands

[jiminy]

Holy smokes TCU almost got another lucky bounce

[Since71ASooner4Life]

if we dont find a pass rush pretty soon here this is going to be a long day and we aint gonna like the outcome

[blacktop]

Their 3-down efficiency is perfect. We need to stop them.

[guido911]

They just like the drama of an upset

Yep. Still, hating the coverage overall. Not enough replays (I know O is running quick) and color is poor. Anyone else picking up on that?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

A score before the end of the quarter would be nice!

[BB37]

TD SHEP!!!!

[tooslow]

Now that we've finally forced a punt, hopefully the D can settle down for the rest of the game.

[SCSoonerfan]

Hell Yeah!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I ****ing called that one!!!

[Eielson]

LOLOL at all the Knight haters....

[BigTip]

Hell, this game is easy!

[Rogue]

TK's QB rating is about a bazillion

[jiminy]

OH YEAH!

[EatLeadCommie]

Didn't know you could add that prenalty

[olevetonahill]

Man those coaches suck!

[EatLeadCommie]

Guess it didn't matter lol

[Zing]

Wilson had good coverage, just a great play. TCU's luck is bound to change.

Yeah, this is pretty accurate. Deflections, fumbles, flukes of all sorts have been going exactly TCU's way. The winds will change.

Or we could just throw bombs over and over again.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

TK's QB rating is about a bazillion

No kidding!!!

[guido911]

Great pass by Knight.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

LOLOL at all the Heupel haters....

FIFY

[yermom]

thanks again Mr. Shepard

wow

[guido911]

A score before the end of the quarter would be nice!

Good call. Jedi-like.

[BB37]

TCU's defense looked lost on that last pass play.

[Rogue]

TK. 2/3 for 125 and 2 TDs = QB rating 1005
primecomputing.com

[yermom]

awesome

[SoonerorLater]

This game is not playing out like anybody would have expected.

[guido911]

A little O/T, but the Sooners recruiter a P/K from Belleville, IL. I know his dad very well. Good stock.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

TK. 2/3 for 125 and 2 TDs = QB rating 1005
primecomputing.com

That's awesome

[SoonerorLater]

averaging 42.7 per pass attempt so far.

[BB37]

Two consecutive false starts on the frogs, time for the frogs to punt.

[Eielson]

Great pass by Knight.

And a great playcall.

[Mamoux]

Thank you OU defense nice

[jiminy]

never was a fair catch signal, jeez

[Eielson]

These officials just really suck. Not biased. They just suck.

[aurorasooner]

We survived a nightmare of a 1st.
If we drag a receiver or back over the middle now with Shep going deep, it should be a track meet

[Rogue]

An officiating crew hates to admit it, but that was an inadvertent whistle.

[BigTip]

These refs are going to steal this game from us.

[BB37]

Crap.

[Mamoux]

UGH, we need a few calls

[BigTip]

he pushed off damn it

[jiminy]

bs the receiver is allowed to protect their aura

[Rogue]

Questionable PI on Bell there, but OK. That means they can't push off on Sanchez.

[BB37]

Timeout OU

[Zing]

The camera work in this game has been exceptionally bad.

[Rogue]

It's disappointing to see the same indecisive, time-wasting late play calls causing us timeouts. This one is probably good timing because of the penalty on the previous play, but this crap should've been cleaned up Week 2.

[rock on sooner]

These officials just really suck. Not biased. They just suck.

You got that right!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Def PI could have just as easily been called on that pass to bell. Pretty bull**** if you ask me

[Flagstaffsooner]

The camera work in this game has been exceptionally bad.

Its FOX

[guido911]

These refs are going to steal this game from us.

Stoops needs to get into their grills.

[Mamoux]

Well that didn't work out so good, but gives them punting room.

[BB37]

26 yard punt, not good.

[Eielson]

TK running in the post-Landry era is so easy on the eyes.

[SCSoonerfan]

what a lousy kick.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Worst punt by Barnett this year

[guido911]

WTH was that Barnett?

[Mamoux]

Well so much for punting room. OOF!

[BB37]

td tcu

[rock on sooner]

When did Barnett start with the rugby crap?

[Rogue]

WTF

[Mamoux]

TOAST!!!!!!!!

[BigTip]

I'm thinking somebody missed an assignment!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

What the **** was that???

[SCSoonerfan]

wtf happened there.

[olevetonahill]

These officials just really suck. Not biased. They just suck.

Yup. This crew always has been tho

[BB37]

Was the defense even on the field?

[Eielson]

TCU better be a top 10 team.

[guido911]

That was embarrassing.

[swardboy]

Standing around after a play...TCU noted it and ran a quickie.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

better wake TFU

[okiewaker]

Wow. I think the D was checking out the Goodyear blimp

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This is one of those games where my heart explodes a few times per game.
Our defense looks completely different,and wer're making it easy for TCU .

[tooslow]

Did the D start listening to all the hype they were getting and slack off, or are they simply being exposed? Not used to seeing them looking constantly confused, much less not getting that constant push into the backfield. If this keeps up, the bad guys will hang half a hundred on us. :(

[soonercastor]

The D better adjust in the second half like they did against West Virginia. Just awful

[Mamoux]

Man OU is shooting themselves in the foot.

[BB37]

The refs have more yards than either offense so far.

[Mamoux]

Missing wide open WR's, come on man

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This could get ugly

[Zing]

Underthrew, incomplete
Overthrow, had to jump for the ball

Both of these receivers were standing still.

I like Knight, but he's struggled with his accuracy.

[BB37]

Punt time again.

[Mamoux]

Are you kidding me!?!??!?!?!?!

[Mamoux]

Goodness gracious still over 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I could have swore he reached across the first down marker???

[Since71ASooner4Life]

better have a big defensive series here

[rock on sooner]

Need a turnover in the worst way!

[Zing]

I think Knight got confused about where he was. He dove for the 30 (LOS) like it was the first down marker at the 35. Mental mistake drove him to dive, not throw.

[JLMSOONER]

I think he dove for the line of scrimmage

[EatLeadCommie]

He reached past the LOS marker

[SCSoonerfan]

I could have swore he reached across the first down marker???


The marker was the 35 he got to about the 32.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

I could have swore he reached across the first down marker???

he mistook the 30 for the 35

[swardboy]

I could have swore he reached across the first down marker???

Well don't expect a replay from this bunch.

[jiminy]

I could have swore he reached across the first down marker???
I think that was the LOS marker. I wondered if he knew that

[guido911]

I could have swore he reached across the first down marker???

Game coverage is horrible. Just horrible. Bad camera angles. Everything.

[texas bandman]

At least they're not scoring during commercials.

[Mamoux]

What was the purpose of that ruling? LOL

[guido911]

And don't count on the YTG stuff on the TV either.

[Blue]

I thought we had a good D?

[Mamoux]

WoW are DB's are getting worked!!!

[jiminy]

Nice play by Dooley

[BB37]

PICK!!!

[Since71ASooner4Life]

huge play!

[PhiDeltBeers]

Scott's boy with a pic.

[rock on sooner]

Need a turnover in the worst way!

Thank me very much.....:highly_amused:

[Rogue]

Boykin floats the ball a lot.

Looks like our DBs are expecting a few picks today.

[Mamoux]

WoW are DB's are getting worked!!!

Nice ... way to redeem yourselves.

[tooslow]

better have a big defensive series here

Looks like they heard ya!!! :)

[5noubus]

Did the Sooners miss the memo it's MY BIRTHDAY?? 10/4

[Since71ASooner4Life]

a sustained drive with some rushing yards from RB would sure be nice here

[EatLeadCommie]

Boykin is mediocre. We are killing ourselves. Tie this before half and come out to actually play in the 2nd half

[swardboy]

Did the Sooners miss the memo it's MY BIRTHDAY?? 10/4

I HOPE it turns out to be a happy day for you!!!

[BigTip]

GREAT catch!

[guido911]

Got some better field position. Use it.

[Eielson]

Finally a good call from this crew!

[jiminy]

Wow a correct call in our favor

[BB37]

Shep having a huge day.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

lets see some more Perine

[BB37]

PERINE to the one!

[Since71ASooner4Life]

again!

[guido911]

Did the Sooners miss the memo it's MY BIRTHDAY?? 10/4

I called Bob Stoops right before the Perine run. Have a happy one.

[Mamoux]

I know that OU is not going to blow out everyone every game, but I just want them to come out with a little more intensity. Set the tone early and often.

[BB37]

3rd and goal

[BB37]

4th and goal

[Mamoux]

WoW I thought he got in

[Mamoux]

Review?

[BigTip]

I bet a million this will not go for us

[Mamoux]

How can this dweeb be so sure about the no TD?

[BB37]

TD PERINE!!!

[Since71ASooner4Life]

How can this dweeb be so sure about the no TD?

that last view sure looked close

[tooslow]

Tie game!!!! Now let's stop playing around and finish these guys off!!

[Mamoux]

Review that bitch!

[BigTip]

In Yo FAce frogs!

[SCSoonerfan]

Optimus TD

[Rogue]

3/3 on red zone offense opportunities today.
I like it.

[jiminy]

Whew I'm more relieved than elated

[soonercastor]

****ing shotgun on short yard situations **** me off

[Eielson]

I feel way too good to be tied.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

that was a hell of an effort by #26 he made a great hit but couldn't stop the tank!

[olevetonahill]

Now lets Take control, they did it in Morgantown lets do it in Ft Worth.

[Mamoux]

forward pass?

[bluedogok]

UT drives 99 yards on Baylor and fumbles on 1st and goal from the half yard line with 29 seconds left in the half. All 22 players were within about 20 feet of of each other and they tried a QB sneak.

[BB37]

Hold on the KR.

[OU Adonis]

4 and 1 and we still run out of the pistol. Glad we scored though.

[guido911]

On D, I think pressure needs to come from the middle.

[Eielson]

I didn't know you could play dead.

[jiminy]

What kind of mickey mouse bs was that?

[BB37]

Crap.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

TCU using the "camofrog" in that kick off

[Mamoux]

AND ANOTHER PIECE OF TOAST! Come on guys

[BigTip]

uh, he just got in my way coach
