How the mighty Longhorns have fallen

by

During the tenures of Bob Stoops at Oklahoma and Mack Brown at Texas the following has occurred:

Stoops vs. Texas: 8-5. Brown vs. OU: 6-8. (One of Brown’s wins was as first year head coach at Texas over John Blake in his last year as head coach of OU).

Stoops’ three largest victories in point differential over Texas: 65-13, 63-14 and 55-17. (Plus Stoops has a 12-0 shutout). Mack’s three largest 45-12, 34-3, 28-10. (Again the 34-3 victory was over Blake).

Big XII titles for Stoops: 7. Big XII titles for Brown: 2. National Title game appearances: Stoops 4, Brown 2.

Heisman Trophy winners: Stoops 2, Brown 1 (And that one Heisman winner, Senior Ricky Williams, was in Brown’s first year as head coach, thus he did not recruit him).

Are we beginning to see a pattern here?

OU wins 55-17, call this one a ‘butt whipping’

by

The first play of the game was a hint of things to come. A deep pass from Landry Jones to Ryan Broyles for a 40-yard gain.

The Sooners kept pounding from there, turning what some expected to be another tight Red River Rivalry into what can only be described as a 55-17 Oklahoma ‘butt whipping’ of their rivals, Texas.

It may be forgotten this Sunday morning, but this game was somewhat of a defensive battle in the first quarter.

That opening drive for Oklahoma stalled because of a stingy Longhorn defense in the red zone. Oklahoma settled for Mike Hunnicutt field goal to take a 3-0 lead.

After exchanging field goals, the teams finished the first quarter with OU on top, 6-3.

Dave: Texas offense has worry meter spiking

by

OU Texas is again upon us. And I know I don’t have to tell you that the worry meter is spiking at 100%.

This is not last year’s Shorthorns. This team is good, and getting better. I don’t doubt that on paper we have the better team. But as they say, the game isn’t played on paper.

The big difference in this year’s Texas team is coaching. What I wouldn’t give for Greg Davis to be back in the offensive coordinators chair this Saturday.

But instead it will be Bryan Harsin of Boise State fame calling plays for the Shorthorns.

This week my head has been filled with nightmares of the hook and ladder and Statue of Liberty plays of Fiesta Bowl past. Outside of the gimmicky offense OU will see, Harsin and the other new coaches have instilled in Texas confidence. Something that they did not have last year.
