Dave is cautiously optimistic, but watch out for WVU

by

The win last Saturday over Louisiana-Monroe was a really good start to what may be a resurgence in Oklahoma football.

I know it sounds funny that a program who won a share of the Big XII Championship last year needs a resurgence, but it does. With a program like Oklahoma you are expected to compete for a National Title almost every year. Not just a league title. League titles should almost be a given.

But since the 2008 National Title game OU has not been a factor in the National Title discussion, at least not deep into the year. They fell into complacency in many areas.

mikesblogNow the debate is over Knight’s new-found nickname. As in, what should it be?

White Knight, All Knight, Knightmare, Crimson Knight, or Cleavor Trevor? Offensive lineman Bronson Irwin has reportedly already named him Knight Rider. One thing for sure, we’ll be hearing a lot of Bob Seger’s song, Night Moves, this season.

Meanwhile, radio pundit Jim Traber was up in arms this week that Sooner coaches compared Knight to Heisman winner Johnny Manziel. That comparison was taken out of context, in that it was in response to a question about Knight’s style, not his proven ability.
