Official Game Thread: OU versus Texas (2015)

[ouflak]

Red River Shootout!

[WA. Sooner]

Boomer Sooner!

[Rogue]

From the beautiful hills of East Tennessee....in!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Let's do this!!!! BOOOOMMEEEEERRRR!!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Oh yeah...from a little pub in downtown AUSTIN-representing .....

[Mac94]

From the home town of Samaje Perine right north of Austin :-)

[Judge Smails]

Western Oklahoma..............in!

[SCSoonerfan]

From my canoe in the middle of a flooded SC. Lets kick some ***!

[Rogue]

Early deep ball, PI on the horn. Good start

[Mac94]

Get in their heads from the start

[JLMSOONER]

Beautiful Lake of the Ozarks......in!!!!

[Mac94]

Gotta catch that!

[Mac94]

See what Mike has in store

[Mac94]

Ok .. three and out .. good start.

[SCSoonerfan]

Cant block anyone apparently

[BB37]

Bummer.

[Mac94]

Didn't like the reverse call after perines run

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Look like ****. Need to settle down

[Mac94]

7-0 Maryland over Ohio st very early

[BB37]

Heard hurt

[PhiDeltBeers]

OL = HORRIBLE

[SoCalBigRed]

Don't like the way this has started and had an ugly lump in my stomach, all week.

[BB37]

Bummer.

[SoCalBigRed]

I will be so glad when Sanchez graduates.

[Mac94]

Knew Texas would play desperate

[Rogue]

Whazzis? Zac with a good open field tackle!

[SoCalBigRed]

Yay! My favorite play. #rd and long. smh..

[Rogue]

Sanchez open field tackle...and it wasn't a first down!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

That penalty ****ed us. Come on defense

[BB37]

td saxet

[PhiDeltBeers]

Smh

[SoCalBigRed]

What a joke.

We're going to make texas look All-World on national TV.

Great job, Sooners!

[SCSoonerfan]

Wtf was that

[Mac94]

What the blank was that???

[JLEW1818]

Playing with fire

[soonercastor]

What we needed to do what destroy their confidence out of the agate and we did the exact opposite of that, now we'll be in a dogfight

[SoCalBigRed]

Typical Bob Stoops over-confident squad walking into a fired-up opponent.

[BB37]

Fumbled Kickoff, ut ball.

[PhiDeltBeers]

This is bad

[Judge Smails]

****

[kenth68]

wtf

[SoCalBigRed]

I'm about to turn this off now.

I see where this is headed.

[soonercastor]

Clear fumble. Great

[SoCalBigRed]

OU SUCKS chants on TV.

Brilliant BOB!!!

[Judge Smails]

Could this have started any worse? No.

[Indy Sooner]

But was the left knee down?

[BB37]

I wasn't buying into all the talk about a Sooner blowout. Looks like a replay of two years ago.

[SoCalBigRed]

Mayfield is going to have to pull 4th quarter heroics to win this game.

[Mac94]

3rd year in a row Texas I'd punching OU in the mouth. Where is the fight back?

[Rogue]

****

[PhiDeltBeers]

Heard for Heisman

[nanimonai]

One team in this game came ready to play.

[JLEW1818]

How are we so unprepared?
Just thought Texas was going to to hand it to us? Just like 2013

[Judge Smails]

I blame Bob for not having this team ready to play. Again.

[nanimonai]

It's going to be 14-0, fine.

If we don't answer then this could be the 2000 game in reverse.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

So I guess norvell is hurting us.....

[Rogue]

dammit, running qbs have been a bugaboo for MS defenses for years and years

[Indy Sooner]

I blame Bob for not having this team ready to play. Again.

This.

[BB37]

Timeout OU, 13 men on the field.

[JLEW1818]

They are destroying you Stoops Bros

[BB37]

0-13

[OffroadOUFan]

With all of the talk of saxet giving up if they get down early, I hope OUr team doesn't feel the same way.

[SoCalBigRed]

We didn't recover... so it doesn't matter.

They score the next play.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Dumb ****s. Quitting on too many plays early.

[SoCalBigRed]

Body language... our defense has given up.

[soonercastor]

Not sure why they wasted their time reviewing that when the clearly recovered anyway

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Unbelievable

[nanimonai]

If there is one consistent thing that you can bank on, it's this team being completely unprepared to play a big game.

I don't know why I expected anything different. The Tennessee game was a fluke. We played like trash that whole game and Tennessee mostly just choked it way.

[OffroadOUFan]

At least Ross hasn't given up...running tough.

[PhiDeltBeers]

We can't have another 3 and out

[tooslow]

Just a thought, but we've only beaten 1 team (WVU) with a winning record, and even that's misleading since all of their wins were against teams with losing records.

[SoCalBigRed]

Burn that stupid blitz they're running, almost every play!

[Rogue]

This is how you defend a team with a bad OL

[SoCalBigRed]

Hey, Bob... They're going to BLITZ!

[PhiDeltBeers]

We look like a 7th grade JV team.

[Judge Smails]

If they score again it's over. We'll fold.

[JLMSOONER]

Hey, Bob... They're going to BLITZ!

True dat! Coaches need to figure this out now and not at the half!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

O line is terrible. This might get ugly

[Judge Smails]

Strong > Stoops

[nanimonai]

Stop trying to strip the damn ball and tackle for crying out loud.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

It isn't just the oline. 34 let that blitz go right through instead of breaking off his route and picking him up. they are just going through the motions in the first quarter.

[JLMSOONER]

Can't stop the run either.

[SoCalBigRed]

Oh boy! My favorite play! 3rd and long.

[manateepower]

Another game where Oklahoma is completely unprepared against a vastly inferior team. Stoops is an incompetent disaster and has been for a decade. To call him a slightly more competent Lloyd Carr would be generous. Time or him to step down.

[SoCalBigRed]

First mistake by texas?

That really could be a momentum killer, if WE SCORE!!!!

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

wow thanks texas. you had a chance to put this game away

[BB37]

End of a horrible Q1

[Mac94]

Texas goes conservative ... punt time. Now the offense needs to take control. Smash these guys in the mouth. Feed them a heavy dose of samaje and Joe. Their defensive line isn't that good

[nanimonai]

Why is it that everyone on Earth could see this coming except the team? This is how the RRS has played out every year for 40 years. It never fails.

[bluedogok]

Damn morning games.....

[nanimonai]

The only ting giving me hope is that my friend bet Texas +17 and he's an awful, horribly unlucky picker. He may just save the day for us with that bet.

[Judge Smails]

I really can't say I'm surprised at this. Sad.

[BoomerJoeDon]

OU not ready to play bring back memorys of 2013

[SoonerBorn]

First quarter was uglier than prison sushi.

[SoonerMarkVA]

I'm not sure how it's possible, but our O-line seems to have actually regressed.

And how could our backs fail to see those blitzes, and just run by them?

Even Mayfield looks like he's thinking, "meh".

Someone needs to light a fire under these guys and let the 1Q go. The O-line--well, I don't know what to say about that, but the rest of the team needs a jolt of fear and aggression.

[BoomerJoeDon]

Lot of football to go

[BoomerJoeDon]

Nice play by Neal

[SoCalBigRed]

I really can't say I'm surprised at this. Sad.

There's a reason I've been quiet all week. Had an ugly feeling about it, all week.

[Indy Sooner]

Another game where Oklahoma is completely unprepared against a vastly inferior team. Stoops is an incompetent disaster and has been for a decade. To call him a slightly more competent Lloyd Carr would be generous. Time or him to step down.

Chip to OU?

[OffroadOUFan]

Does Mayfield not understand you get yards by running forward, not sideways? He seems to run parallel way, way too much. If you don't want to get hit, take a slide. Sheesh.

[nanimonai]

Cool, we were dangerously getting close to having some momentum.

[BoomerJoeDon]

penalty kill us

[SoCalBigRed]

What's that... like 5 sacks?

[BB37]

And it's suddenly 3rd and 18

[Mac94]

Where's the run game?

[Judge Smails]

Our O line is a sieve.

[BoomerJoeDon]

No offence no line

[kenth68]

good grief

[JLEW1818]

So horrible.

Coaches are unprepared and the players ultimately

[Rogue]

We need to get Baker moving...rollouts and such...this OL can't create/keep/sustain a pocket.

[OffroadOUFan]

34, now 55 seem to not understand blocking downfield.

[SoCalBigRed]

We are going to have to see a Herculean effort from the defense for the rest of the game, until this offense settles down. Otherwise this is going to get very ugly.

[BoomerJoeDon]

Should have worked today

[JLEW1818]

Our D is about to be gassed.

We really need a turnover

[Since71ASooner4Life]

what a hot mess

[SCSoonerfan]

We need a big play...Turnover, pick 6, long TD whatever gotta switch momentum.

[Mac94]

Perine has had two strong runs ... has joe gotten a carry?

[soonerfan69]

Big O-line are playing like sissies

[OffroadOUFan]

We need to get Baker moving...rollouts and such...this OL can't create/keep/sustain a pocket.

SO true.

[SoCalBigRed]

Hopefully Strong keeps coaching, not to lose.

[BoomerJoeDon]

well the defense is going to have to carry us like they did in the Tennessee game

[SCSoonerfan]

Im gonna run out of Jack Daniels if this **** keeps up.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Nothing like a television crew being able to read a glaring tip by your OL and call out run/pass pre-snap. Holy crap, they have like 18 people doing quality control, you would think tipping hte D would be high on the list.

[LibertyValance]

Just being dominated on both sides of the ball. No energy.

[OffroadOUFan]

We need a big play...Turnover, pick 6, long TD whatever gotta switch momentum.

Their center might just put a little extra on it and finally toss it over Heard's head for us. He's been close several times.

[bluedogok]

What's that... like 5 sacks?
When they are stacking 7 in the box sacks come easier and quicker.

[soonerfan69]

Key on stopping the running QB it's their bread and butter play

[nanimonai]

I'm pretty sure Rice played them tougher.

[Judge Smails]

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

[soonerfan69]

QB's gonna run it this time

[nanimonai]

That's was an okay series.

[SoCalBigRed]

COME ON SOONERS!!!

[Mac94]

Good 3 and out

[East Coast Bias]

Heard runniung the ball is about all they have on offense...

[soonerfan69]

Stoops needs to light a fire under the O-lines asses they play like Sissies

[Judge Smails]

Heard runniung the ball is about all they have on offense...


And sadly, they are ahead 14 points. What does that say?

[SoCalBigRed]

Now Mr Boy Genius Riley... PUT TOGETHER ONE DAMN DRIVE accounting for the BLITZ!!!

[Judge Smails]

Fire Heupel!!

[nanimonai]

He needs to let the oline know that they're not going to be going to McDonalds after the game if they don't start blocking at least a little bit.

[SoCalBigRed]

And sadly, they are ahead 14 points. What does that say?

It says, if the team pulls their head out of their rear-ends and realize we're a better team, playing against a team, playing WAY OVER their heads... we can win.

[SoCalBigRed]

Wow, Lincoln... see what happens, when you move Baker out of the pocket!

[SoCalBigRed]

Riley, if we're going to run. Hand it to Perine, or Mixon.

[Judge Smails]

Our ****ing line......

[soonerfan69]

This O-line sucks *** bunch of Sissies

[SoCalBigRed]

YES! I'll take a penalty!

[BB37]

Defensive hold bailed us out there.

[Mac94]

Bailed out by Texas there

[SoCalBigRed]

Don't get hurt, Baker!

[Mac94]

Tough run baker!!!

[BB37]

Tough running by Mayfield. Whorn is down.

[nanimonai]

Let's hit that reset button by halftime and start over.

[SoCalBigRed]

Regardless the penalty... they offense has done nothing but move forward, this drive.

[soonerfan69]

Up tempo is getting them so an injury to slow things down

[nanimonai]

I was totally expecting him to fumble

[SoCalBigRed]

Oh! Mixon would have danced in!

[BB37]

First and goal at the 4.

[SoCalBigRed]

We need SEVEN guys, not 3.

[BB37]

3rd and goal.

[BB37]

And we sputter out, FG time.

[SoCalBigRed]

Wow!

Pathetic.

[Since71ASooner4Life]

what a hot mess

[soonerfan69]

Good grief run the ****ing ball

[JLEW1818]

What a choke job Sooners

[Since71ASooner4Life]

need a turnover now

[SoCalBigRed]

At least the team should see, we can move the ball! The defense should see. We can stop them.

texas is not the better team. They are playing on emotion, and way over their heads. If we stop the bleeding, we will win.

[SoCalBigRed]

A stop here, quick score would flip the gamer upside down.

[BB37]

Can't Ford find someone else to feature in their car commercials than that smirking horn?

[SoCalBigRed]

So had we recovered the fumble, in the EZ... it would have been ours?

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Figured, shades of last time we were a big favorite. Glad not watching the game. Sounds like a poor execution against a team with nothing to lose and lots to shiw.

[BB37]

Jordan Thomas down.

[Rogue]

Eject him

[SoCalBigRed]

GET FIRED UP SOONERS!

[JLMSOONER]

He ain't coming back. That's gonna hurts us.

[BB37]

That should be an ejection.

[soonerfan69]

Wasn't much there another Sissie

[SoCalBigRed]

texas starting to implode?

[SoCalBigRed]

Come on guys... Quick TD!!!

[Since71ASooner4Life]

At least the team should see, we can move the ball! The defense should see. We can stop them.

texas is not the better team. They are playing on emotion, and way over their heads. If we stop the bleeding, we will win.


sums it up well

[Judge Smails]

These Lincoln commercials are getting on my nerves.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

So had we recovered the fumble, in the EZ... it would have been ours?

Yep. Had we knocked it out the back same thing. Lack of hustle is what is killing us.

[SoCalBigRed]

I would prefer we hadn't spotted them 14 points. But, if this swing continues, we'll win. texas is starting to make those mistakes and you can see the problem players are becoming problem players again. Hopefully, Strong isn't able to reel them back in at halftime and carry them through.

I've seen enough teams come out blazing though and then slither out on their bellies.

Come on, OU!!!

[SoCalBigRed]

We have to avoid turnovers and the THE SACK!

[Judge Smails]

I wish we had an o line

[JLEW1818]

OU-Texas single game sack high?

[soonerfan69]

We will lose this game if the O-line keeps playing like 150 lb Sissies

[nanimonai]

Has anyone noticed that our o-line is terrible?

[BB37]

Three and out, not what we needed.

[SoCalBigRed]

Wow... fail!

[Since71ASooner4Life]

pathetic OL

[Rogue]

OK, pocket pass plays aren't going to work today.

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

can someone explain to mayfield that its okay to throw the ball away and save the yardage?

[Since71ASooner4Life]

Has anyone noticed that our o-line is terrible?


when was their status upgraded?

[SoCalBigRed]

3 and out guys... score a dang TD before half!!!

[SoCalBigRed]

That was short!

[JLEW1818]

How can you be so unprepared for OU-Texas?

[SoCalBigRed]

dammit

[SteelCitySooner]

****ing O line

[soonerfan69]

Their O-line pushes forward ours gets pushed backward

[SoCalBigRed]

D laying down for end of half.

[Judge Smails]

Good tackle on the ref.

[JLMSOONER]

Finishing blocks! Looked like the ball carrier was getting up when the ref went down.

[BlownGP]

Knew there was reason why I was nervous about this game.

[soonerfan69]

Texas showing us some mercy

[BB37]

Halftime.

[SCSoonerfan]

Hope there is some Sooner Magic in the Locker room adjustments for the 2nd half.

[SoCalBigRed]

Well, OU! You just got punched in the mouth.

What are you going to do?

[Since71ASooner4Life]

how embarrassing

[Judge Smails]

Wow. 3 points in the first half.

[JLEW1818]

Nobody talking about the kickoff fumble? Geez. A free 7 points

[soonerfan69]

Get in the O-lines asses and get them playing mean cause they are playing like little girls

[jkm, the stolen pifwafwi]

Jordan Thomas may be the easiest defender to block that has ever played at OU.

[soonerfan69]

Nobody talking about the kickoff fumble? Geez. A free 7 points

They kept focusing on his right knee in the replay when his left was down

[SoCalBigRed]

Since they like to throw out the stats all the time, of coach's records when scoring first, when leading at the end of the quarter, etc.

I'd like to point out, OU is undefeated when I'm in the game thread.

[birddog]

SOS.

[guido911]

Hoping to read some tweets at halftime from our O line looking to transfer...

[OffroadOUFan]

Hoping to read some tweets at halftime from our O line looking to transfer...

That's mean. Funny and correct, but mean nonetheless.

[tooslow]

So far, Whorns showing on the field why they turned down Mayfield's dads request for a tryout. Figured he'd be trying to prove them wrong. Of course, kinda hard to do when the O-Line is not doing their part.

[SoonerBorn]

Breaking into the red velvet cake. And more beer.

[Judge Smails]

I think someone let the air out of our balls.

[Okie35]

Someone tweet a player or coach to tell our right tackle to stop putting his right foot back they know it's a pass ...

[Okie35]

So far, Whorns showing on the field why they turned down Mayfield's dads request for a tryout. Figured he'd be trying to prove them wrong. Of course, kinda hard to do when the O-Line is not doing their part.

We've came back before I can see it happening again but whether we win or lose I'll be a little mad

[Okie35]

And why'd we get rid of Norvell again?

[guido911]

Just trying to add a little levity.,,

[OffroadOUFan]

Mack Brown on the halftime set. :disgust::disgust:

[soonerfan69]

Will the O-line play like men or like Sissies in the second half is the question

[OklaPony]

I'm very tempted to not watch the 2nd half.

[Indy Sooner]

There have been plenty of inexcusable losses the past ten years attributable in large part to the coaching staff being outsmarted and/or not having the squad prepared but if a different team doesn't come out for the second half, this might rank as the worst of them all.

[BoulderSooner79]

First half sumary:

O-line getting owned
Where was the holding on that Sanchez INT?
Ross tries to make it all up on one return - Phail!
Mayfield needs to take the open check down instead of the sack
O-line getting owned

[guido911]

Here's hoping that Lincoln Riley can figure out how what to do about the o-line probs.

[SoonerorLater]

The Offensive is just not very good. It's just that simple. Unless they get good between now and the second half we will not win this game.

[BoulderSooner79]

Here's hoping that Lincoln Riley can figure out how what to do about the o-line probs.

We all knew it would bite us eventually - nothing that can be fixed at halftime, but have to adjust the game plan.

More roll-outs
More check downs to the RB as those are not being covered tightly.
Would be nice to hit a deep fade.
Keep plugging away the run even though it's not getting big yardage.
Have to avoid the sacks - those are killing us.
A long drive will take some steam out of them, but won't happen if BM gets sacked.

[OffroadOUFan]

McDonald's had a retweet commercial. Well played, McDonalds.

[dennis580]

I'm very tempted to not watch the 2nd half.

I suppose you didnt watch the 2nd half of the Tenneessee either?

[guido911]

The Offensive is just not very good. It's just that simple. Unless they get good between now and the second half we will not win this game.

It's not about "get[ting] good", its about making do with what you have. Adjustments. Keeping the faith, based on recent history of comebacks (Tenn.) and things start breaking OU way (WV).

[dwarthog]

The Offensive is just not very good. It's just that simple. Unless they get good between now and the second half we will not win this game.

That's going to take some kind of fixing.

The left guard is just plain horrible. You would think he could at least get in the way of someone running straight for the QB, but nope. They run right by. It's embarrassing.

[SoCalBigRed]

Our local semi-pro hockey team is having a "Deflated Football Giveaway" night, NFL teams, "including the New England Patriots"

[Judge Smails]

1st half summary:

Can't run because our o line sux.
Can't pass because our o line sux.

[SoCalBigRed]

Have to get a stop, first drive

[SoCalBigRed]

I will be so happy when Sanchez is gone.

[Rogue]

Yup, blocking and tackling, that's what's beating us.

[SoCalBigRed]

And we're just letting them march down the field. Wow...

This is a nightmare.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Well, they're picking up where they left off in the 1st quarter

[Since71ASooner4Life]

getting owned by a punk Texas team

[SoCalBigRed]

Yay! 3rd and long...

[SoCalBigRed]

You have GOT to be kidding me!?

[BB37]

Good grief!

[soonerfan69]

We suck

[Rogue]

Shoulda been a coverage sack, instead another ****ing ut first down. This is killing me

[Mac94]

Ok ... I think that's the game right there ... should have been a sack

[guido911]

Nice tackle there Tapper. Good job...
