I think this years team is hands down the worst team in the Stoops Era!! All the penalites, turnovers, poor execution, dropped balls etc etc.. The 99 team was not even this bad. I know many of the players on offense are just puppies but my god!!!! And next year could be even worse because of all the players we're gonna lose on defense! What a bizarre bizarre year!
Hard work will defeat talent everytime talent doesn't work hard!!
The 2005 team started out as bad...but they got better as the season progressed. This team, in my opinion, is digressing on offense and special teams and leaving a very good defense out to dry. So yes, I'd say this team, as of now, is the worst team of the Stoops Era.

But they are better than all Schnelly and Blake teams of the 90's

I feel for Murray, Broyles, and some of the legit stars. Defense was great last night. There are too many probs on offense. FGs would have won it for us.
Here lies Lester Moor
4 slugs from a .44
No Lester no more
That's no moon...
Much better than ANY 90's team i say (because of defense) but I agree. Clearly, moving in the wrong direction and in a hurry! I know the injuries keep coming but man.... The O-line play is just pitiful at best.

Without a doubt, this is the worst team Stoops has ever fielded. I never thought a Stoops team would be this inept on offense!
Usually Stoops coached teams have got better as the year has progressed, especially the O lines. This O Line has not made those strides. That is why I can't understand why people think they will be better next year with Eldridge and Williams gone. Hey Rawlings in 2006 we had Cooper in the middle who was far more talented than any of these guys. Messner who was average was way better than any of them are playing.
BOOMER SOONER!
no doubt about it...it's the worst.
Whats sad is there are NO more games this year that we can say "yeah thats a win"
this line intentionally left blank...
Yes. Even comparing to the first year team in 1999... that team got better as the year progressed.
I will have to say... we've been plagued with injuries game after game.
What happened to English last night? Alexander did well but the personal foul really hurt us last night.
Lack of discipline, too many penalties and bad kicks. Tough night.
To answer the question: Yes (though the Blow-mar team was pretty shaky, too.)
You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.
(Shoo-bee doo-wah)
Good point. With the Losses on the D for next year my vote is that 2010 will be the worst team of the Stoops era.

So when does this guy get banned? 300 some odd posts and all taunting.
2001 and 2005 were just as bad offensively.
in the beginning. But whether you like to admit it or not but the way we finished out and that win against #5 or #6 Oregon in the Holiday bowl gave a lot of hope for the next yr. Then we all know what happened
To be honest, this team is not the players we see on the field. Remember how many guys who have been hurt. Even with the young O-line, if all our players were able to be on the field, this team would be a lot better. Having ssaid that, I would agree that the playeers we are using are the worse of the Stoops years. Just hope they are better next year.

As soon as he actually does something that breaks the rules. Being a fan of a rival team - while annoying - doesn't cut it.
... that's not food.
well Record ...why is it not 1999?
(season aint over)
And in all fairness, the offense did make nice improvements against Kansas and Kansas State, compared to the first game. What's so frustrating about last night was it was a regression to the BYU game.
Lost in all the commotion was the fact we actually did move the ball fairly well, but couldn't score. That problem has continued from day one. I think they're making improvement in that area, but...man, that was tough to watch.
I don't think Nebraska can defend the deeper sideline routes all that well but we didn't seem to test it. Instead we continued to work the middle of the field, which was an absolute minefield. Top that off with a rookie, redshirt freshman not playing particularly well (either because it was just time to play badly or he was rattled, or both), and you wind up with high, off-target passes. Receivers went back to their dropsy ways, too. Some of the passes were catchable, but they just didn't get caught.
We also seemed to just about give up on the running game because it wasn't working well enough.
The fourth and one call with the pitch to Murray was wide open up the middle if Jones had kept it for the sneak. I don't know why he stayed with the call.
I also think Landry would do himself some favors if he'd pull down the ball and take off running from time to time...though he'd probably catch grief from the coaches.
Way didn't exactly get any help in getting the ball positioned in the field of play, either. Two of the misses were on the hash marks. Personally I'd have stayed with Stevens. I guess it was some of disciplinary action, but though his kicks haven't been things of beauty, 11 for 11 from inside the 40 is NFL quality. The premium is paid on accuracy, not distance.
