Dave: Sooners improving, but Halloween in Lubbock not easy

by

Every week the Sooners get better and better on both sides of the ball. 

They went to Fort Worth and tamed the toads to the tune of 33-14. 

Of course it was going to be 30-14 as Lincoln Riley had Rattler take a knee to run out the clock deep in TCU territory.  But then Gary Patterson showed his ass and started to take time outs rather than let the forgone conclusion end the game.

First loss to Iowa St. in Ames, in 60 years.  First back to back losses since 1999.  I guess if you were going to pick a year to stink while you rebuild, 2020 would be the year.

Saturday night’s game highlighted another glaring issue with the defense, as if another one was needed. 

Our defensive backs are significantly shorter than the wide receivers and tight ends that they are going up against.  So they can have great coverage, but if they are constantly just being out jumped by their opponent, it won’t matter.
