Official Game Thread: OU versus Tennessee (2015)

[ouflak]

Let's bring it!

[olevetonahill]

Lets Blow the Top off of Rocky top.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Boomer!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Come on o-line

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

****

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Not off to a good start... They just need to settle down

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Nice goaline stand. Held the to a FG

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

****crickets***

[bluedogok]

I'm watching...just not expecting much.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Oline sucking

[soonergirlNeugene]

More offensive penalties.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

So much for the air raid. 2nd and 20 we go for an inside screen?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

No swagger at all. We don't even look excited to be playing.

[OU Adonis]

Pass happy offenses can only beat lousy teams.

[Mookie91]

Wife bought me TCU tickets for anniversary, think they'll go back on stub hub

[Therealsouthsider]

...a little early for the inside screen, need to establish something first

ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

What the **** was that???

[Therealsouthsider]

....Bob has the Popeye face going on the sideline


ss

[Mookie91]

Defense won't stop them all night long

[Therealsouthsider]

....nice stop for the d


ss

[Therealsouthsider]

....terrible decision for shepherd to let the punt go....terrible


ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Great field position. :(. Smh

[Therealsouthsider]

....play calling not very strong so far, let's hope Riley finds a rhythm or nobody else will

ss

[Therealsouthsider]

....dang, 8 in the box


ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We get it...it's loud

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Close one

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

It'll be overturned

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Can't get any rhythm going either

[Therealsouthsider]

....good lord that's a long review


ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Awesome

[Therealsouthsider]

....bad call, that was not conclusive


ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Looks like the wr's from last year

[Therealsouthsider]

....crappit durron!


ss

[Therealsouthsider]

....hate it, but may need the d to do something to spark the offense


ss

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

We are our own worst enemy.

We need desperately to flip field position so...

Defense gets the required stop
Shepherd like a moron gives up 15 extra yards on the punt for NO REASON.
Neal drops 2

ugh..........

[Soonerjeepman]

At least our fr punter is doing well....punting from inside the 10 and both times past 50..

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This is tough to watch

[Therealsouthsider]

....gotta turn the field position around somehow or the d will collapse

ss

[Soonerjeepman]

Blitz....they complete

[Soonerjeepman]

Going to get ugly I feel....

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We are playing with absolutely ZERO emotion.

[JLMSOONER]

Going to get ugly I feel....

Dang bro. Pretty early to quit.

[Therealsouthsider]

....easy to score when you're marching only half the field, Riley needs to get his **** together

ss

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

block the linebackers leave the DL unblocked in space. works. every. time.

[Soonerjeepman]

Well, when our off goes 3/out basically....d will get gassed.
I'm calling game already...we haven't been a come from behind team for a long time.

Oh and yes espin you can suck sec dong all night long.

[manateepower]

This team is a ****ing embarrassment.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

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

[Soonerjeepman]

Riley looks lost...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Clueless

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Stupid stupid stupid ...... Embarrassing

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Riley looks lost...

Deer in the headlights

[Therealsouthsider]

....still not sure what Riley is trying to attack

ss

[JLMSOONER]

Punter and punt team looking solid

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

btw, those brainiac dudes who said westbrook was going to be great this year.

1 caused INT, 1 offsides when we absolutely needed a drive

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Guys that screen was a great call. We just can't block anyone.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

What a ****ty ****ing first qtr

[FaninAma]

If receivers could catch a ball and the OL quit committing penalties we would stand a chance.

[Soonerjeepman]

Well....ark is losing to Toledo...auburn needed ot....nd is down to Virginia...

[JLMSOONER]

We gained about 30 yards in field position. It's the small victories

[soonergirlNeugene]

Punter and punt team looking solid

MVP!!

[OU Adonis]

You guys who bag on the defense really need to get a clue. They have given up just over 100 yards. Not horrible considering... Our offense has 37 yards.

[guido911]

If receivers could catch a ball and the OL quit committing penalties we would stand a chance.

Not good. Not good.

[BlownGP]

This game couldn't start any worse

[Therealsouthsider]

.....offense is shooting themselves in the foot, we don't need to keep feeding the home team

ss

[Soonerjeepman]

obviously tenn goal is to stop the run...they're betting their sec is btester than akron

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Good punt. So much for flipping the field position

[Therealsouthsider]

...at least we're starting beyond our 20


ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Had everyone faked on that one

[winout]

Good Lord, we're only down by 10. Hang in there guys, remember as Sooners "we save our best for the last."

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Easy baker.....damn

[Therealsouthsider]

....don't need drops durron, that's two


ss

[soonergirlNeugene]

Tennessee's coverage is consistent and tight. I almost forgot what that looked like.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

What team is this!???

[FaninAma]

Our OL is getting dominated.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Tenn kicker punts 50+. We kick it 20. Nice ****ing job

[Therealsouthsider]

.....if we're gonna punt, punt, punt, start hammering the defense with our backs


ss

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

That 3rd down throw by mayfield was dumb. He audibled to it and was going there regardless of him being covered. Those vertical routes just aren't going to work, you need more crossing patterns

[Indy Sooner]

Good Lord, we're only down by 10. Hang in there guys, remember as Sooners "we save our best for the last."

In the 20th Century that was the case.

[Therealsouthsider]

....which is why the drops are unacceptable

ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Wide open , and if your gonna hit so,e one, hit em. Avoid the big penalty

[Therealsouthsider]

....gotta flop this ****ty field position


ss

[Therealsouthsider]

....poor tackling


ss

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

block the linebackers. leave the DL in space. works. every. time.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We look like akron playing OU

[Therealsouthsider]

.....we're playing like we're still on the bus


ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Good Lord, we're only down by 10. Hang in there guys, remember as Sooners "we save our best for the last."

You were saying?

[JLEW1818]

Another embarrassment game for Stoops

[manateepower]

Had everyone faked on that one

What a disgrace.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

This is freaking embarrassing.

[Therealsouthsider]

....may need to pull out the 5-2 defense


ss

[winout]

You were saying?

All bets are off down by 17. Just kidding. Gotta get some offense going, too many mistakes so far. If we can correct those I think we can move the ball and give our defense a chance.

[nanimonai]

Blowout Bob doing his thing.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I'm not sure this game is good for my blood pressure

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

And yet another penalty

[Therealsouthsider]

....not very sharp, poor execution, poor tackling, drops, penalties, 20yd punts, crappy special teams all wrapped up by tentative play calling

ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Blowout

[FaninAma]

Some of you were talking out of your *** way too early to TDTW.

This game does not shock me at all.

[Therealsouthsider]

....their edges have been there all day


ss

[Soonerjeepman]

I'm not sure this game is good for my blood pressure

Ditto

[soonershane22]

After how many years does this type of Oklahoma football get old? I hear people every year saying that we are okay and that Bob can right the ship but this honestly just looks like the same stale OU football, different year, different coaches. When is enough, enough?

[JLEW1818]

Hate football already and only week 2.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Have we completed a pass for more than 10 yards?

[kenth68]

Relax everyone. It's still early in the game. There's a lot of football to play yet this season. It doesn't really matter anyway, it's not a conference game.

Did I miss an excuse?

[JLMSOONER]

Ok. The bar biotches can't figure out the tv. Begat happenin

[soonershane22]

Have we completed a pass for more than 10 yards?

Against Akron. HAHAHA!

[manateepower]

Punting on fourth and 1? Man, you suck bob stoops.

[winout]

After how many years does this type of Oklahoma football get old? I hear people every year saying that we are okay and that Bob can right the ship but this honestly just looks like the same stale OU football, different year, different coaches. When is enough, enough?

I'm Bob's biggest critic, well almost, but at least he made some changes. I wouldn't have gone with a pass-happy offense but I'm willing to give it more than 5 quarters.

[BB37]

I just turned the game on and HOLY COW!! Did OU miss the plane?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Relax everyone. It's still early in the game. There's a lot of football to play yet this season. It doesn't really matter anyway, it's not a conference game.

Did I miss an excuse?

If we play like this in conference, TCU and Baylor can pick a number to score AND PRACTICALLY DIAL IT IN

[OffroadOUFan]

Have we completed a pass for more than 10 yards?

Yes, but it took a hold for it to happen.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

I remember when Bob had the balls and swagger to go for it on 4th and 1.

[bluedogok]

Punting on fourth and 1? Man, you suck bob stoops.
They don't make it and give them the ball on the OU 40 it is 24-0 by now....

[Therealsouthsider]

....my gawd a three and out!

ss

[BB37]

So much for field position.

[soonershane22]

I remember when Bob had the balls and swagger to go for it on 4th and 1.

Mixon and Perine in the backfield and you don't have a play that can go for 1 yard? Does that mean that the O-line can't push anyone for 1 yard? (Honest question.)

[Therealsouthsider]

....their punter is putting nitrogen in the football

ss

[BB37]

Have we completed a pass for more than 10 yards?

Just did.

[bluedogok]

Mixon and Perine in the backfield and you don't have a play that can go for 1 yard? Does that mean that the O-line can't push anyone for 1 yard? (Honest question.)
I don't trust the o-line to get a yard with a stacked box.

[BB37]

Finally -- a break!

[soonershane22]

That is what I was wondering. Is our O-line just not good enough to push anyone around? Is that also why Mixon and Perine just can't get any yardage?

[BB37]

Well, we avoided a shutout!

[soonershane22]

Sorry about the noob questions but I am just trying to figure out why we can't get any run going. Seems like we have the horses, just no one to open the gate.

[winout]

I hate field goals.

[Soonerjeepman]

siebert will get player of game...

[OU Adonis]

Sorry about the noob questions but I am just trying to figure out why we can't get any run going. Seems like we have the horses, just no one to open the gate.

Because we have the air raid offense. Philosophy affects how you run.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Mayfield needs to calm down. He has absolutely no finesse, and he rushes his throws

[kenth68]

Man, I was worried when I listened to the first opening minutes against Akron. If we had trouble getting going then, how bad is it going to get?

Now I know. Hope it gets better and they hit a groove.

[OffroadOUFan]

Are they trying to turn Mixon into a wide receiver--it seems he rolls out most of the time.

[soonershane22]

Because we have the air raid offense. Philosophy affects how you run.

That does explain a lot.

[Soonerjeepman]

Mixon and Perine in the backfield and you don't have a play that can go for 1 yard? Does that mean that the O-line can't push anyone for 1 yard? (Honest question.)
I believe we do have 2 fr on the line....size is one thing...size with experience is another

[soonershane22]

Kickers leg has got to be tired already.

[bluedogok]

Because we have the air raid offense. Philosophy affects how you run.


That does explain a lot.
Inexperience on the line adds to that as well.

[soonershane22]

I believe we do have 2 fr on the line....size is one thing...size with experience is another

True. I couldn't remember how many O-line returners we had this year.

[Soonerjeepman]

Mayfield needs to calm down. He has absolutely no finesse, and he rushes his throws

Little hard when ur running for ur life. Yes, not quite that bad but it is what it is.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We'll at least or defense is getting some rest

[OU Adonis]

That does explain a lot.

A strong running game requires physicality. And an Air Raid offense is a finesse offense.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Jeep,

Even when he has time to throw, he is firing rockets over and behind the rec...granted, throwing on the run is tougher, but he has had some errant throws

[Soonerjeepman]

We'll at least or defense is getting some rest

Lol, I was thinking I can't imagine the injury was this bad...guess it was. Too bad for him.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Hey, when does OU play? Cuz they ain't doing it right now.

[Therealsouthsider]

.....we've had a laundry list of miscues and self inflicted mistakes, can't decide if it's youth or poor preparation, on the other side of the field, Tennessee hasn't done anything glaring to affect their performance


ss

[BB37]

Looks like Anderson's done for the night, at least...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

They have a bye this week.... At least that's what somebody told em

[Soonerjeepman]

Jeep,

Even when he has time to throw, he is firing rockets over and behind the rec...granted, throwing on the run is tougher, but he has had some errant throws

Def agree...I thought that last week...he really isn't a passer.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

They have a bye this week.... At least that's what somebody told em

Ahh, I see

[hawaii 5-0]

Where's TE Andrews ??

5-0

[soonershane22]

Even with inexperience these are the same mistakes and miscues that we have seen for the last several years. At some point that young in experience becomes seniors just flat out not being prepared.

[BB37]

Crap! Almost a turnover.

[Soonerjeepman]

Damn...

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Nice punt return.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Sterling needs to run downhill. He tries to bounce around too much,

[Soonerjeepman]

Damn Shepard...just run...juked himself out

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Let's get 7!

[soonershane22]

Too much time between plays.

[BB37]

Crap, false start.

[Therealsouthsider]

...oh good lord, movement


ss

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Dang!

[Soonerjeepman]

Seriously, third and 11

[BB37]

Crap.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Ridiculous

[Therealsouthsider]

....really, that's all we got for 4th and 4?


ss

[soonershane22]

Oh, THAT's why we don't go for it on 4th down!

[Soonerjeepman]

So, apparently #13 is pretty good, and we throw to him....

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Throw the ball downfield

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Man, we look like a midmajor

[nanimonai]

I wonder what it feels like to be a fan of a team where you don't give up on a game because you think they might come back. That must be fun but I wouldn't know what that feels like.

[JLEW1818]

We all suck

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

It's like someone gives you the blueprint on how to win, and you go in the complete opposite direction.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Sweet sack!

[Soonerjeepman]

Bond is good

[BB37]

Well, we got a sack to end the half.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Terrible ****ing first half of football

[kenth68]

So, apparently #13 is pretty good, and we throw to him....

Or just OU making another star...

[Therealsouthsider]

....dam domers pulled it out


ss

[Soonerjeepman]

Well, ugly ugly...I would maybe give us a glimmer IF, a big IF....we had scored a TD. Dinner time

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Domers Lost their starting QB for the season though

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Play calling was terrible. Too many stupid penalties. Poor field position. What else? Geez.

[BB37]

Still, it could be worse. We could've lost to Toledo, like Arky...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

^true

[Soonerjeepman]

Dang....some huge scores out there...65/70/75...ouch

[FaninAma]

It looks like the recruiting(or lack thereof) by our former WR coach has comeback to haunt us.

[TrophyCollector]

Defense being put behind the 8-ball all game long. Seen this before.

[BoulderSooner79]

It's weird given the score, but I actually like what I see in this team. I like Mayfield more the more I see him. The defense is making them work for everything they get. I guess we'll see if this team has more heart than last year's squad in the 2nd half. Last year's squad would have given us the BU or Clemson throw-in-the-towel 2nd half effort. Could happen here, but I think they will fight to the end.

[OUmillenium]

Joe Mixon and Samuel Adams = my 2 bright spots during this game

[Therealsouthsider]

Still, it could be worse. We could've lost to Toledo, like Arky...

...ask auburn if they want any more of Jacksonville st...lol


ss

[nanimonai]

It's weird given the score, but I actually like what I see in this team. I like Mayfield more the more I see him. The defense is making them work for everything they get.

Could happen here, but I think they will fight to the end.

I like Mayfield so far too and this horror show isn't his fault but this team just never has any fight in them to come back. I'm sure there have been a couple of instances but I can't remember a game in the last decade where we were down by more than two scores and came back.

[SoonerorLater]

It's a good thing we have a mobile QB.

[Therealsouthsider]

.....I hate it when Boren flashes his mug on all the OU commercials....the camera isn't kind to him, he looks like a Dr. Seuss character

ss

[BoulderSooner79]

Every team is different, but I think you forget the comebacks against WVU and OSU in LJ's last season. And the '10 CCG against NU was definitely this decade where than won after being down 17. With the drawbacks of our O-line, a 2 TD deficit will be hard to overcome, but I just want to see a lot of fight in this year's dog.

[TrophyCollector]

Had they got that fumble and turned it into 7 or not had a false start and turned that drive into 7, would like our chances. Now it is going to take lockdown D and some game changing plays.

[Therealsouthsider]

....the offense is underwhelming and still has an identity crisis, Riley is flip-flopping like he's not sure what he wants to do

ss

[BB37]

Well, that not the best way to start the half.

[Therealsouthsider]

....finally an offensive mistake by the vols


ss

[guido911]

He Does!!! But thanks for ruining Dr. Seuss for me...

[Therealsouthsider]

....Tennessee holding all day


ss

[BB37]

Got a couple of breaks on this possession, the sack, a dropped pass and a missed FG.

[Therealsouthsider]

....I hope we attack this half! and let's get a pitch sweep or two with mixon on the edge

ss

[BB37]

Shep' catch under review.

[BoulderSooner79]

No catch

[kenth68]

augghhh

[Therealsouthsider]

....damn ball hit the ground


ss

[BB37]

Incomplete.

[BoulderSooner79]

Need Shep to step it up

[Jack T.]

Mrs. Jack T just asked me if this was Bob Stoop's last season at Oklahoma.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Another damn conversion

[Therealsouthsider]

....well boys, looks like we have an sec defense and a wac offense


ss

[OUmillenium]

Mrs. Jack T just asked me if this was Bob Stoop's last season at Oklahoma.

My wife got her masters from OU and she left at haltime to take 5 yr old to park. She says "road game, the usual...".😕

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

We had 3 players there and the receiver gets 5 yac!

[Therealsouthsider]

...they're just running clock now because we can't score


ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We look worse than last year

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

C'mon offense!

[BB37]

Defense is holding its own, offense needs to step up.

[OU Adonis]

We look worse than last year


But its the air raid offense. Thats impossible :D

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Shep needs to quit dancing with the ball. Take off and get to full speed. He had a lane and missed it bc he was too busy juking

[Therealsouthsider]

...do we still play with a tight end? Seems we only brought 2 receivers

ss

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I,still waiting to see this new fangled air raid offense

[TrophyCollector]

RRSO will head into OT at 0-0 this year.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

^ agreed

[nanimonai]

RRSO will head into OT at 0-0 this year.

We're both equally terrible at football so it should at least be good for some comedy.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Lmao. And another penalty! Bob looks apathetic

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Put Trevor in

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

And another penalty!!!!

[BB37]

Should've been a PI on Tenn, but instead we have a false start on the punt.

Might as well get on the bus now.

[Mookie91]

I've been a Stoops guy but this team is overmatched

[nanimonai]

At this point Tennessee needs to worry about their strength of schedule with cupcakes like us.

[Okie35]

Game is fixed on SEC-PN.

[TrophyCollector]

Put Trevor in

Or maybe Perine. Gotta be one of the few times a RB has set an NCAA record and then been benched.

[BlownGP]

That head ref always has it out for ou. Hate him.

Where the hell is perine?

[Okie35]

At this point Tennessee needs to worry about their strength of schedule with cupcakes like us.

The defense isn't even doing that bad the offense sucks

[Soonerjeepman]

Dang...they just compared us to bowling green....nice

[BB37]

Another 3 and out for the D.

[Okie35]

I swear if the offense doesn't score or get a ****ing call I'll destroy that ref

[Soonerjeepman]

I will say our D is playing lights out

[BB37]

Annnd, another holding call on the Offense.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Another penalty.... And mayfield sucks

[Okie35]

oh don't worry we'll call the holds

[kenth68]

holy cow

[nanimonai]

I'm really not exaggerating when I say this is like the Blake years. I'm impressed when they can just do basic pee-wee football things without screwing up.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I though last years team was the hardest team to watch in the past 16 years.....

[Mookie91]

Offensive line is offensive

[guido911]

Baker Mayfield kinda sucks right now. Zero confidence in his ability to play from behind.

[Soonerjeepman]

Bull****

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

I'm really not exaggerating when I say this is like the Blake years. I'm impressed when they can just do basic pee-wee football things without screwing up.
Yup

[winout]

Oline problems.

[Okie35]

I'm really not exaggerating when I say this is like the Blake years. I'm impressed when they can just do basic pee-wee football things without screwing up.

Whatever happened to the creativity in the offense? I want Kevin back

[BlownGP]

Told you that ref sucks. We can't beat everybody

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Bowling green trew for a bazillion last week in these guys.

[BB37]

I will say our D is playing lights out

Yep, but unless the offense gets it's act together, they're gonna run out of gas...

[Soonerjeepman]

I though last years team was the hardest team to watch in the past 16 years.....

Yup

[kenth68]

mayfield is doing a lot of running. unfortunately, it's all in the backfield.

[Therealsouthsider]

....Perine + Mixon + Shepherd + no creativity = shame

ss
