Dave: Run game key to Texas loss, OU’s success in remaining games

by

Extremely disappointed in the outcome of the game against texas.

Going in, I thought it could go either way because texas has a lot of talent, and their two loses only made them more dangerous as they would be desperate. I thought it would probably come down to
who had the ball last.

Instead, the Sooner offense turned in their worst showing of the year and wasted another strong performance by the defense. They have now not touched the endzone against the longhorns in two full games. Let that sink in.

Whether it’s fair or not, the head coaching job at Oklahoma is in large part judged on h

Dave: texas….man, I hate those bastards

by

The Sooners dispatched Kent St. last Saturday afternoon with relative ease by the score of 44-0. Second string quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. stepping in for John Mateer played well. Just not great.

There were several positives. He threw for a touchdown and ran for another with no turnovers.

But there were some negatives. At times he held the ball longer than he should have, allowing pressure to get to him and forcing the scramble. Which isn’t always bad as he has the wheels to break off big runs.

This of course was his first action of the season, and he was probably still getting used to his receivers. He ended up going 14 of 24 passing, which isn’t terrible, but again, not great.

I had hoped the offense was going to have more success against a very bad team in Kent St. It might be weird to say that as they put up 44 points. But seven of those were from a defensive scoop and score. And remember, Florida State and Texas Tech each scored over 60 points against the Golden Flashes this year.

Dave: Let’s end the ‘what if’ game

I have an idea.  Let’s have instant replay after every play. 

Have the booth review every camera angle of every part of every snap.  Make sure there are no rule infractions, and everything is fair and square and by the book. 

On average there are 180 total plays in a college football game.  The average review takes two minutes.  However, that is only looking at a specific aspect of a play.  If they had to review all the camera angles just looking for infractions from every player, it would take considerably longer. 

For sake of argument, let’s just double the average time to four minutes per review.  Doing the math, that would be 12 hours of replay review.  Add that to the average length of a college football game, which is about 3 hours and 30 minutes, we get a game that lasts 15 hours and 30 minutes. 

Talk about let’s make a day of it. 

I wonder if that would satisfy Auburn fans after the wailing and gnashing of teeth they did following their loss to the Sooners?
