Official Game Thread: OU versus TCU (2015)

[aurorasooner]

I've got a feeling we're going to play very conservative and try to let the defense win it, and this one may get tight if TCU gets a lucky break or Eck's crew reverts to their typical flag-happy cre

cheet they are going to say the Seibert's knee was down before the kick and TCU gets the ball there. That's like a TO. Sanchez needs to take one back to the house and put this one away.

[BB37]

This is NOT good.

[Indy Sooner]

So they're reverting back to the poor tackling version of the D?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Implosion

[BB37]

That was easy. We're in big trouble now.

[SoCalBigRed]

Huh?

I was forgetting the FG before half. I was still in that frame of mind.

But, worse thing happened and we gave up 7 on freak play.

This game has turned on us and we don't have Baker to snatch it back.

Hopefully Trevor has some 'bama magic left.

[JLMSOONER]

So is mayfield done or just out for now

[SCSoonerfan]

I just told my wife we need some of that Sugar Bowl magic to appear....

[BoulderSooner79]

The football gods are cruel and arbitrary.

Its tight.

[SoCalBigRed]

We have to score here. Even if its 3.

[BB37]

So is mayfield done or just out for now

TK's in at QB again, so there's your answer. Perine has his helmet back on, but he's still on the sideline.

[SoCalBigRed]

I need to put the laptop down. Going into that Negative Nancy mode again.

[BoulderSooner79]

Shep !

[BB37]

Now Mixon's limping off.

[OklaPony]

Now Mixon

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

You have got to ****ing kidding me!!!

[BB37]

Perine coming back in.

[Soonerjeepman]

you got to be $hittin me...

[OUmillenium]

Perine Back!!!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Perine back in!

[BoulderSooner79]

We gotta get points here

[Soonerjeepman]

I need to put the laptop down. Going into that Negative Nancy mode again.

lol...I had company first half or I'm sure I would have gone ape #hit on the first tcu TD...

[BoulderSooner79]

TK rusty as one would expect

[BB37]

Missed FG

[JLMSOONER]

The football gods are cruel and arbitrary.

I think they are kicking us square in the jimmys.

[OklaPony]

Missed. S. O. B.

[Soonerjeepman]

unfrickinbelievable...

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

As if we need to give TCU a momentum boost. Wtf. Seibert

[SCSoonerfan]

Missed shep on a wide open crossing pattern and missed the damn FG...FML!

[aurorasooner]

Crap, Defense needs to get a cheap one right now.

[BB37]

TK rusty as one would expect

Maybe, but how many times have we seen him overthrow open receivers?

[Soonerjeepman]

I just hope we don't implode

[BoulderSooner79]

I think we figured out that deep throw to Listenbee

[Soonerjeepman]

whew...

[OklaPony]

Gonna be a dogfight now.

[BoulderSooner79]

Maybe, but how many times have we seen him overthrow open receivers?

He's our guy, I think he'll make some plays

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Poor Trevor.just looks lost

[OklaPony]

Good Lord.

[BoulderSooner79]

Perine put the hurt on that guy

[SoonerForLife92]

Really Trevor...

[Soonerjeepman]

you've have got to be kidding me...

[kenth68]

dangit... come on trevor. you can do this.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

3rd and 16, and that's it?

[Soonerjeepman]

He's our guy, I think he'll make some plays

really? sorry I not trying to bag on the guy but he looks totally lost.

[JLMSOONER]

Seems like TK may need to just hand it off 42 to 1 times

[BB37]

Defensive holding, lovely.

[Soonerjeepman]

D is going to have to win this.

[OklaPony]

C'mon D. You gotta make it happen.

[BB37]

PICK!!!! THOMAS!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

That's what we need - I don't see us scoring many more points

[OklaPony]

Pick!

[Soonerjeepman]

what a dumb play...every time.

[SoCalBigRed]

I actually don't like this. They're just getting field possession on us.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Get some offense going. Doesn't mean **** if we can't get somethig going here

[Indy Sooner]

really? sorry I not trying to bag on the guy but he looks totally lost.

You're correct. And he's going to throw a pick the way he's staring down receivers. Might be time to bring back the wishbone.

[SoCalBigRed]

Has Stoops not figured out the clock is NOT moving.

[BoulderSooner79]

TK is still fast !

[BB37]

TD PERINE!!!!

[SoCalBigRed]

I CAN BREATH!!!!!

THANK YOU SAMAJE!!!!

[OklaPony]

Perine!

[Indy Sooner]

Perine. What heart and toughness!

[SoonerForLife92]

Run all night

[BoulderSooner79]

Perine hobbled is still a stud.

[Soonerjeepman]

hell yeah

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Even at 50%....takin it to the house!!

[SCSoonerfan]

I'll take injured Perine over no Perine any day!

[BB37]

I guess is ankle is all better now.

[OklaPony]

He's hurting bad, though. Bless his heart, what a gamer.

[BoulderSooner79]

TK set that up by getting us out of the hole. I knew he would contribute

[BB37]

So much for the SEC being all defense.

[SoCalBigRed]

Do not let them score here!

[BoulderSooner79]

Dang that 22 is slippery

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Stay home! That's his move. Runs right and then comes back left. Everytime

[SoonerForLife92]

Stopped!!!

[SoCalBigRed]

He only got to the line

[BB37]

Held 'em on 3rd and one!

[BoulderSooner79]

watch for fake

[SoCalBigRed]

They were going to fake

[soonergirlNeugene]

This game is crazy.

[SoCalBigRed]

watch for fake

Haha. If there was a time for one, he'd pull it now.

[BoulderSooner79]

Hmmm. Timeout on the punt? That's a total waste unless they had a fake on, but they called it off. Maybe they are just going to go for it now?

[BoulderSooner79]

Well, thanks for burning a TO, TCU. Hope it doesn't make any difference anyway as we blow them out

[BoulderSooner79]

Perine is seeing the field

[SoCalBigRed]

109 yds AFTER contact? Wow. Of course, a bunch was that TD.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Trevor doesn't disguise his handoffs at all.

[BB37]

Hmmm. Timeout on the punt? That's a total waste unless they had a fake on, but they called it off. Maybe they are just going to go for it now?

It was a fake, but OU didn't bite on it so TCU called timeout to set up a punt.

[Soonerjeepman]

I like how the Sr have stepped up...not letting injuries effecting them

[SoCalBigRed]

We're doing a horrid job at clock management. We're letting them hang around with way too much time.

[BoulderSooner79]

They are blanketing our WRs. No wonder BM was scrabbling so much

[SoCalBigRed]

Ugh... need another stand here. If they're going to give up pts... only 3

[SoonerForLife92]

WOW BROOKS lucky you didn't get flagged for that

[Soonerjeepman]

C'mon D...stop AGAIN!

[Soonerjeepman]

WOW BROOKS lucky you didn't get flagged for that

that is what I was thinking...STAY FOCUSED

[BoulderSooner79]

It was a fake, but OU didn't bite on it so TCU called timeout to set up a punt.

That's what I assume, but the TO is still stupid. Take the 5 yard delay in that situation

[SoCalBigRed]

Told yah they were playing field position

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We have to sustain a drive or the defense is going to get worn out. It's not even the 4th yet

[soonergirlNeugene]

So TCU is covering the hell out of our WRs and stopping us up front.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Another 3 and out. Classic Greco on the low pass right to the defender. Could have been picked

[BB37]

TK's lucky that wasn't picked off.

[SoCalBigRed]

Bring the heat, every time!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Sanchez actually wrapped up!!

[BB37]

TCU's switched QBs

[BoulderSooner79]

So TCU is covering the hell out of our WRs and stopping us up front.

I wouldn't call that little run by Perine as stopping us up front. :D

[BB37]

Defense gets another 3 and out.

[SoonerForLife92]

Good pass d Dom

[SoCalBigRed]

We have to get the heck out of our side of the field!

[BoulderSooner79]

Pokes pulled to within 10 with 5m to go

[Soonerjeepman]

bc down 3 ...against nd but only 54 sec

[SoCalBigRed]

Thank you, Sterling!

[BB37]

Shep out to the 48

[Jacie]

4th quarter, finally.

[SoCalBigRed]

We need much better management of the clock in the 4th, or at least another score. I know they're not doing anything, but I don't want to see any sparks.

[BB37]

End of Q3.

And the pokies scored again, now down 38-28

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

BC pulled within 3 of the mighty Irish.

19-16

[JLMSOONER]

BC pulled within 3 of the mighty Irish.

19-16

Go BC

[Soonerjeepman]

pukes onside kick..bu returns it to osu 30..

[BoulderSooner79]

Our star players doing us proud - Perine and Shep. And they are both dinged up

[SCSoonerfan]

Domers win in an impressive fashion 19-16..Should be #1 on Tuesday night.

[aurorasooner]

BM looks FUed up on the sideline. I sure hope that dirty ear-shot that he took doesn't sideline him for next week too.

Well I guess Baylor has put up 38 on the Pokes with their 2nd and 3rd team QB, so it's not impossible. OSU pulls within 10 with about 5 min left.

[SoCalBigRed]

I'm not too concerned about the "injuries."

I think Bob's just feeling comfortable enough to hold them out. Medical staff probably said it wouldn't hurt. Mixon is walking around. Perine has a tweaked ankle. That's most concerning, since it will swell after the game and we'll find out how bad it really is.

[olevetonahill]

What is hitting the Sooners ain't no bug.

Yer right , Its cheap and dirty play from TCU!

[SoCalBigRed]

I don't think Baker has a concussion. He's being held out for observation I think...

And at that. Mixon comes back.

[JLMSOONER]

Domers win in an impressive fashion 19-16..Should be #1 on Tuesday night.

I think they wifi be better than #1. Maybe 1 cubed

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Mixon back in.

[BoulderSooner79]

I'm not too concerned about the "injuries."

I think Bob's just feeling comfortable enough to hold them out. Medical staff probably said it wouldn't hurt. Mixon is walking around. Perine has a tweaked ankle. That's most concerning, since it will swell after the game and we'll find out how bad it really is.

Ummm, you know a concussion can take a guy out for months? Glad you're not worried though

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Easy throw right there that knight missed on.

[BB37]

At least we flipped the field. TCU starting at the 11.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Dirty? Seems like TCU playing clean so far to me. Well outside of the targeting call.

[SoCalBigRed]

Finally flipped the field on them.

With my luck, that'll be the jinx.

[SoCalBigRed]

Dirty? Seems like TCU playing clean so far to me. Well outside of the targeting call.

I've seen a lot of low blocks and hits. They're going for knees and ankles.

[BoulderSooner79]

I don't think Baker has a concussion. He's being held out for observation I think...

And at that. Mixon comes back.

No chance they hold BM out unless they had to. It means he failed the in-game concussion protocol.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Game over in Stillwater. Bears just scored again.

[soonergirlNeugene]

This game is all about the defense. How much they can handle and for how long.

[BB37]

Baylor just put away the pokies, up 45-28 with 2 minutes to go

[Jacie]

People are always complaining about Stoops not pulling starters to let the back ups play with a big lead late in the game, now he finally does it and still the complaints.

[aurorasooner]

Mixon back in. Using a lot of Tussin tonight on Mixon and Perine. They're going to be sore next week no doubt. Baylor scores again. Sheesh the Ags D has gone to hell.

[JLMSOONER]

D playin tight!

[JLMSOONER]

Have I told you guys I want to move to Florida?

[guzziguy]

Every time they show Patterson I thing of that Dr. Pepper "I invented the playoffs" guy

[BB37]

Almost a safety.

[JLMSOONER]

In the grasp?

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Got away with a face mask there

[Jacie]

Got away with one that time.

[BoulderSooner79]

Whew, that guy shoulda had that!

[BB37]

Got away with a face mask there

Yes he did.

[Jacie]

Some offense would nice this drive.

[BB37]

Pokies score, but it's not enough, down 45-35 with 1:12

[birddog]

Long game. Very long game

[Jacie]

Frog fans will point to that play as the reason they lost, claiming conspiracy by the league to "let" OU win, just you wait.

[OklaPony]

Some offense would ice this game.

[JLMSOONER]

Pokes game still going but the fat lady is singing loud and proud!

[BoulderSooner79]

Technically, those incidental face masks like that are not a foul. When they got rid of the 5 yard incidental facemask penalty, they were supposed to become no foul. But in reality, the refs have not called it that way and just call them 15 yarders now.

[SoCalBigRed]

People are always complaining about Stoops not pulling starters to let the back ups play with a big lead late in the game, now he finally does it and still the complaints.

Did someone complain?

I certainly wasn't. I was just making observations. I think the guys in can certainly bring this home. TK, can.

[SoCalBigRed]

OK.... maybe I should rephrase about TK being able...

[soonergirlNeugene]

So uhh....did Trevor get some new hands he has to break in or something?

[OklaPony]

Wtf are we doing throwing the ball? More Perine!

[BB37]

Timeout OU

[soonergirlNeugene]

You'd think we'd just run/playaction.

[SoCalBigRed]

Good! I did not like that set, for TK on 3rd and 4. Come on! At least one in the backfield with him.

[OklaPony]

F'ING Pokes. I swear they could screw up a wet dream.

[Soonerjeepman]

Domers win in an impressive fashion 19-16..Should be #1 on Tuesday night.

lol...only if the Pope calls...( yes, I'm Catholic...)

[BB37]

Well, next week's game just lost a lot of it's luster. Ags lose to Baylor.

[Jacie]

Another thing that brings complaints, going conservative, yet here the Sooners are throwing the ball and people want us to run. Actually, think of this one as getting TK ready to go against OSU.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Hat trick Rick...he's our best player.

[JLMSOONER]

There's a reason I don't like orange.

[SoonerForLife92]

Brooks and Perine wildcat!

[SoCalBigRed]

Worst thing that could happen. Pokes losing.

Now they only have ONE thing to play with and we know how the pokes play, when all they want to do... is beat us.

[Jacie]

OSU finished with . . .8 . . . yards . . . rushing.

[Soonerjeepman]

People are always complaining about Stoops not pulling starters to let the back ups play with a big lead late in the game, now he finally does it and still the complaints.

ummm, he HAS to..big diff and we are not up big. Not sure where that is coming from

[SoCalBigRed]

Err one thing to play for...

Ruining our season.

[soonergirlNeugene]

wth was that?

[kenth68]

what the hell is he doing?

[JLMSOONER]

Worst thing that could happen. Pokes losing.

Now they only have ONE thing to play with and we know how the pokes play, when all they want to do... is beat us.
I'm sure they did it on purpose. They hate us.

[Soonerjeepman]

Worst thing that could happen. Pokes losing.

Now they only have ONE thing to play with and we know how the pokes play, when all they want to do... is beat us.

I think we can run all over them...both Mixon and Perine are still playing...so that's good.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Huge drop off with baker out. Jeebus. You'd never will Trevor started a game before, let alone win the sugar bowl against bama

[SoCalBigRed]

Another thing that brings complaints, going conservative, yet here the Sooners are throwing the ball and people want us to run. Actually, think of this one as getting TK ready to go against OSU.

I don't see a lot of complaints. Lot of worry wart in the beginning until about the end of the 3rd.

My biggest beef this entire night, has been clock management. There's still over 9 minutes left in this game. Which, keeping the ball on the ground and pound, would run that clock.

[BB37]

td tcu

[soonergirlNeugene]

omfg

[SoCalBigRed]

And as I was just saying...

We're leaving WAY too much time on the damn clock.

[OklaPony]

Good God.

[JLMSOONER]

Huge drop off with baker out. Jeebus. You'd never will Trevor started a game before, let alone win the sugar bowl against bama

And he made bama look bad.

[Soonerjeepman]

are you ****tin me

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Well as much as they've thrown that, they were bound to get one

[JLMSOONER]

Wow

[SCSoonerfan]

sob

[BoulderSooner79]

Doesn't TCU know they are supposed to be giving up about now?

[BB37]

This game just got a lot more worrisome.

[JLMSOONER]

Let's make it a little more interesting.

[SoCalBigRed]

One play, they're back within 10 and there's still almost 9 minutes left on the clock.

That kind of chaps my rear-end... and I think is certainly noteworthy and asking questions....

[SCSoonerfan]

Ground n Pound this drive gotta work the clock for sure!

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

We're up by 10 still, and I feel like we just have up the lead. What the ****? Trevor knight ****ing sucks! Good kid, but damn.

[swardboy]

13 just assumed 12 had the tackle, and didn't even try to tackle the receiver. mad, mad, mad, mad

[soonergirlNeugene]

If TK can't make the reads, then we need to take a chance like Patterson is and put Thomas in there.

[aurorasooner]

Holy cow. This game can't over fast enough. I wouldn't be surprised if TCU doesn't on-sides kick it right here. I sure hope TK doesn't serve one up like he did last year on this next drive.

[Soonerjeepman]

considering they've had field position for most of the 2nd half and only score twice..1 being really jacked up due to the knee down, is prob good. Just proved our Off needs to keep being aggressive

[Jacie]

Maybe this is what the team needs, to be tested going into next week, what with all the talk about complacency and its not like TCU is an FCS team doing this, they are ranked.

[JLMSOONER]

Did the pokes win? DOH!

[BoulderSooner79]

TK is still going to have to make a few plays.

[SoCalBigRed]

We have not controlled the tempo of this game in the 2nd half, at all.

[Judge Smails]

I think Trevor has a concussion too.

[SoCalBigRed]

And we finally flipped the field on them. So... if you want to look at those as people complaining. Well, I guess. :D

[Soonerjeepman]

13 bad "tackle"...ugh

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Hanging around

[SoCalBigRed]

and now we're in 3rd and 9.

[soonergirlNeugene]

TK having as bad a night as I've seen.

[kenth68]

brown again

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

This is a disaster

[BB37]

And Brown costs us another five. Just to make it interesting.

[OklaPony]

OB again.

[SoCalBigRed]

Wow. Just wow.

How many times can we try to give this game to TCU?

[BoulderSooner79]

good time to go deep

[swardboy]

Brown &*%^^&**(

[Judge Smails]

****ing Brown!!

[BB37]

And TK throws a pick.

[OklaPony]

Unbelievable

[SCSoonerfan]

Snapping the ball with 14 left on a running clock smh

[soonergirlNeugene]

Jesus.

[SoCalBigRed]

Putting the laptop down again.

[Soonerjeepman]

holy ****ing ****

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Un****ingelievabke

[Judge Smails]

Put Baker back in.

[SCSoonerfan]

and now a pick mf

[Soonerjeepman]

not calling for knight to be pulled, but really this is where stoops won't do it.

[BoulderSooner79]

need a turnover

[JLMSOONER]

I think Trevor has a concussion too.

Appears to be so.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Epic ****ing meltdown.

[soonergirlNeugene]

Trevor needs to go sit on the bus. I don't care that we're playing at home.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Defense is done. Too much time in the field

[OklaPony]

Don't you know that Baker is puking his guts up about now.

[SCSoonerfan]

Defense is done. Too much time in the field

They cant be done we need them to win this game...Desperatly!!!

[JLMSOONER]

We gotta regroup.

[BetterSoonerThanLater]

Good thing Boykin and docston are hot

[Judge Smails]

I have a bad feeling about this.

[BB37]

And the lead dwindles to 7.

[soonerfan69]

****ing Knight sucks ***

[JLMSOONER]

Good thing Boykin and docston are hot

Is that sexual?

[Soonerjeepman]

we really need a TD

[SoCalBigRed]

We need to run 5 minutes off this clock!

[SCSoonerfan]

Need a drive here bad.
Preferably ending in points!

[Judge Smails]

We need to run 5 minutes off this clock!

No. 6:27.

[Indy Sooner]

I guess they have the better team with starting QBs removed.

[tooslow]

Outside of the pokes, at least the playoff committee knew what they were taking about. OUr D has no business letting 2nd and 3rd string QBs gash them, unless they are who the outsiders thought they were. Hell, even I was drinking the koolaid..... On the bright side, if we pull this one out, I hope the press writes us off. That always seems to light a fire under the players for the next game.

[aurorasooner]

Thought we had that FG blocked from our left side. Would've been huge.

[BoulderSooner79]

we really need a TD

I think a FG would do it. Either require some offense though

[SoCalBigRed]

Tell everyone to BLOCK! and run the Heck out of that ball.

[OklaPony]

Can I get a 6:25 TD drive, please?

[Soonerjeepman]

Good thing Boykin and docston are hot

yup, course, maybe the guys would be really focused, more so. Who knows

[SoCalBigRed]

Now run the damn ball!

[Indy Sooner]

Quit snapping the ball with 8+ seconds remaining on the play clock!
