I'm not defending the total game plan, but OU *must* be able to throw the ball. And the only way to find that out, is to attempt to throw the ball. TK was terrible tonight - the worst game he has played including his first 2 last season. And I have no doubt the Cody Thomas would have been just as ineffective. And that's the problem - we must have effective QB play to win games against good competition. Perine would have been beat to a pulp if we just handed off every play and *maybe* be lose a little slower, but lose we would, and that can't be the goal. Having a non-existence passing game is a total waste of talent like Perine. His presence should make play action deadly and cost the other team big plays over the top when they dare to stack the box. Without a passing game, all we have is juggernaut that can crush the likes of Kansas and ISU. That's not very satisfying, IMO. Look at Bama where they have the likes of Yeldon and Henry and yet they send a WR to New York for the Heisman ceremony.
