Dave: Rattler better than you think, but still not there yet
The rumblings got a little louder after the Nebraska game last Saturday. What’s wrong with the offense? Why don’t we throw the ball deep? Caleb should be starting!
That last one is what I hear the most. But you know the old saying, the most popular guy on the team is the back-up quarterback.
Starting quarterbacks get all the blame when things are going wrong and they get too much of the credit when things are going right.
Rattler does not deserve all the heat he is getting. It’s true that he seems to not be as sharp as he was at the end of last year and he has missed some open receivers.
Sooners survive 23-16 slugfest with ornery Huskers
A sluggish first half offense from No. 3 Oklahoma and a scrappy third down offense by Nebraska kept the rekindled rivalry that commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Game of the Century very close.
But in the end, defense ruled the day.
Tom Osborne and Barry Switzer are no doubt happy. Some things don’t change.
Such as an Oklahoma-Nebraska contest that kept everyone on the edge of their seats.
